Anti skid coatings
Anti skid coatings and high friction surfacing for ramps, car parks, walkways, service yards and industrial floors across the UK and Ireland. Applied to a properly prepared surface, in the system the area actually needs.
Why choose us
Almost every anti skid failure comes back to preparation. A coating applied over a contaminated, polished or unsound substrate will lift within months, however good the product is. We shot blast or grind back to a sound surface, repair what needs repairing, prime it correctly and then apply the system — which is why our coatings are still gripping when others have peeled.
We treat ramps, decks, service yards, crossings, walkways, stairs and industrial floors, in resin, epoxy and polyurethane systems chosen for the traffic, the contamination and how quickly you need the area back. Where the substrate is beyond coating, we will tell you that instead of taking the order.
What we do
From day to day repairs and statutory compliance through to complete refurbishment and fit out. Every service below is delivered in house or through our long standing supply chain, managed by one team and invoiced on one account. Browse the cards and open any service for more detail.

In detail
Every job starts with the substrate and the slip risk, not the product. Below is what we treat, how we prepare it and the systems we use to get the friction value the area needs.
Gradients, entrances, exits and junctions are where tyres let go first. High friction surfacing shortens stopping distances and holds grip in the wet, on multi storey ramps, car park decks, service yards and access routes.
Pedestrian crossings, footpaths, external stairs, escape routes and emergency access treated to reduce slip risk. Coloured systems define the route as well as gripping it, so people use the safe path rather than cutting across.
Anti slip systems for production floors, wet areas, washdown bays, plant rooms and MHE routes — specified to the slip rating you need and formulated to resist oil, fuel and chemical contamination.
Shot blasting, grinding, crack and substrate repair, then the correct primer at the correct coverage. This is the part that determines whether a coating lasts five years or five months, and it is where most failed jobs went wrong.
Resin, epoxy and polyurethane systems with calcined bauxite or aggregate broadcast, in red, green, buff and decorative finishes. Rapid cure options hand an area back within hours where closing it for days is not an option.
Localised repair where an area has worn or been damaged, recoating where a surface has polished with use, and planned re treatment programmes that act before friction values drop below target rather than after an incident.
If the surface needs repairing or marking before it can be coated, the same group covers tarmac surfacing, line marking, civil engineering, specialist cleaning and building services — on the same order and the same programme.
How we work
Whether it is a single reactive repair or a full building refurbishment, every project receives the same structured approach, attention to detail and commitment to quality.
We visit, measure and photograph the building, then quote a fixed price against a written scope.
Dates, phasing, RAMS, permits and access arrangements agreed before anyone mobilises.
Our own teams on site, working around your operating hours, with daily progress updates.
Joint sign off, before and after photographs, waste transfer notes and certification.
Sectors
Every building comes with its own constraints and challenges — trading hours, staff and public on site, deliveries, access restrictions and operational requirements. We take the time to understand them before works begin, so the programme is planned around the way the building actually runs.
Overnight and out of hours works that keep units trading and customer parking open.
Doors, floors, racking bays and welfare areas maintained around 24 hour operations.
Delivered in holidays and half terms, with DBS checked supervision on site.
Infection control, clear access routes and disruption kept away from patients.
Framework and schedule of rates works across public buildings and estates.
Fit out, remedial and handover works taken through to practical completion.
Refurbishment and reactive repairs phased around service and event calendars.
Fabric, roofing, drainage and external works across multi unit estates.
One subcontractor for building works across your portfolio, reported for client packs.

Recent work
A selection of recent commercial building projects delivered across the UK, from office and washroom fit outs to entrance works, safety installations and external improvements.
Anti skid
High-friction surfacing applied to a steep multi-storey car park ramp, raising skid resistance where vehicles brake and turn on gradient, and reducing the risk of loss of control in wet weather.
Anti skid
Coloured anti skid surfacing installed to the approaches of a pedestrian crossing, shortening stopping distances and making the crossing point clearly visible to approaching drivers.
Anti skid
Anti skid treatment to a busy service yard where reversing HGVs and pedestrian movements share the same space, improving grip underfoot and under tyre throughout the year.
Anti skid
Coloured surfacing laid to define a segregated cycle lane, delineating the route clearly from the carriageway while adding skid resistance for cyclists in wet conditions.
Anti skid
Anti skid coating applied to the entry and exit ramps of a retail car park, delivered overnight so the car park remained open to customers throughout the works.
Anti skid
High-friction surfacing installed on the approach to a site junction with a history of near misses, improving braking performance and reinforcing the give way position.
Coverage
We mobilise nationwide through our in house regional teams, giving you the capability to deliver building works consistently, wherever the property is located.
For clients managing large or geographically dispersed portfolios, this removes the complexity of coordinating multiple contractors across different regions. Instead you have one trusted partner, one point of accountability and one consistent approach across every location.
From a single reactive repair to multi site refurbishment programmes running simultaneously, our teams mobilise the right resources, expertise and support to meet your requirements.
Areas we cover: London and the South East, the South West, the Midlands, the East of England, the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the North East, Scotland, Wales and Ireland — including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Nottingham, Leicester, Newcastle, Southampton, Cardiff, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
FAQs
On a properly prepared substrate, a resin and aggregate system on a vehicle area will typically give five to ten years before friction values need restoring, and internal floors longer. On a poorly prepared or contaminated substrate the same product can fail within months, which is why we prepare properly rather than quoting the cheapest visit.
It depends on the system and the temperature. Rapid cure products can take foot traffic in an hour or two and vehicles the same day. Standard resin systems generally need overnight. We will tell you the cure times before you commit, so you can plan around them.
Usually shot blasting or grinding to remove laitance, contamination and any polished surface, then crack and substrate repair and the correct primer. Preparation is most of the labour on any coating job and it is what determines whether it lasts.
Yes, once it has been properly degreased and prepared, and provided the contamination has not gone deep into the substrate. We use oil and chemical resistant systems for forecourts, plant rooms and workshop floors. If a floor is beyond coating we will say so.
Yes. Red, green, buff and decorative finishes are all available, and colour is often as useful as the friction itself — it tells drivers and pedestrians what a zone is for. Cycle lanes, bus bays, crossings and restricted areas are the usual cases.
Yes. Walkways, footpaths, external stairs, escape routes, wet areas and washdown bays are treated to the slip rating required, which is often a bigger claims risk than the vehicle areas.
Yes. Slip risk surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. We normally survey within a few working days and return a fixed price against a written scope shortly afterwards.
Yes, and Ireland. Regional teams cover single sites and national portfolios, including planned re treatment programmes across an estate.
