High-friction coatings that raise grip and reduce slips on ramps, walkways, loading bays, and wet areas across commercial, industrial, and public sites throughout the UK — built for safety, durability, and long-term performance.
C&R provides professional anti-slip coatings that improve grip and reduce slips across commercial, industrial, and public environments — keeping people safe where the surface gets wet, worn, or heavily used.
Whether it's a loading bay, a pedestrian ramp, or a set of external steps, our high-friction systems are chosen to suit how the area is used and where the risks are — built for durability, compliance, and long-term safety performance.
With over 30 years' experience in surface preparation and safety surfacing, our team combines technical expertise with advanced materials to deliver results that stand up to constant use — helping you keep staff and the public safe and your site compliant.
Our work covers every aspect of anti-slip surfacing — from preparation to finishing — making sure the areas where slips are most likely are safe, compliant, and built to last.
Slips happen where surfaces get wet, worn, or steep. Anti-slip coatings add high-friction grip exactly where it's needed. We look at how the area is used, where the risks are, and what it has to cope with, then recommend the right system before you commit.
High-friction coatings on ramps, walkways, and pedestrian routes where a slip is most likely — keeping people on their feet in the wet and reducing slip and trip risk across the site.
Best for Sloped or high-footfall routes where grip matters most.
Grip surfacing for loading bays, service yards, and working areas where vehicles, pallets, and people meet — improving safety in busy, high-traffic zones that take a lot of wear.
Best for Busy operational areas with mixed vehicle and foot traffic.
Anti-slip finishes for external steps, step edges, and wet areas exposed to the weather — restoring grip on worn or slippery surfaces and keeping access routes safe year-round.
Best for Steps, edges, and outdoor areas that get wet and slippery.
Slip resistance isn't a matter of opinion — it's measured. The recognised UK method is the pendulum test, which copies the way a heel strikes the floor and is carried out both dry and wet, because a surface that feels fine dry can be dangerous once it's wet. The result is a Pendulum Test Value, or PTV.
36+
The level to aim for.
A PTV of 36 or higher is the level the HSE associates with a low chance of slipping. It's the benchmark we work towards on wet or high-risk areas.
25–35
Slips become more likely.
In this band the chance of a slip climbs. It's worth improving on routes that regularly get wet or take a lot of foot traffic.
0–24
A slip is far more likely.
These are the surfaces a high-friction anti-slip system is designed to fix — raising the grip to a safer level where people walk and work.
Tested wet and dry. Where a floor regularly gets wet, the wet reading is the one that counts — a surface can be safe dry and slippery once wet.
It's a legal duty. The Workplace Regulations 1992 require floors to be in good condition and not so slippery that they put people's safety at risk.
You may see R-ratings too. The German R9–R13 ramp rating is sometimes quoted, but in the UK the pendulum test and its PTV are the recognised measure.
We specialise in safety surfacing that improves grip, reduces slips, and supports compliance across industrial, retail, and public environments.

Every C&R project meets strict UK safety, environmental, and quality standards. We invest in staff training and modern equipment to maintain exceptional precision, safety, and professionalism across all line marking services.
That includes registration to National Highway Sector Scheme 7 (NHSS 7) — the national quality scheme for road markings and road studs on the public highway, and the standard a contractor must hold to work on the strategic road network.
Our accreditations demonstrate our ongoing commitment to safe, compliant commercial marking and environmental responsibility.
