Anti-slip treatment applied to steps, paths, and other slippery surfaces. Make your outdoor areas safer, especially in wet Devon weather.
### Sick of Slippery Steps?
Wet paving, mossy steps, smooth decking - they're all **accident waiting to happen** in Devon's damp climate. Anti-slip treatment gives you grip when it matters. Particularly important if you've got elderly relatives visiting or mobility issues yourself.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Don't wait until someone's had a fall. Preventing accidents is way cheaper (and less stressful) than dealing with injuries.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Work Out Best Solution I'll assess what surface you've got and recommend the most effective treatment - balancing safety, appearance, and longevity. ### Step 2: Prep the Surface Proper cleaning is essential - treatment won't stick to dirty or mossy surfaces. Might need pressure washing first. ### Step 3: Apply Treatment Whether it's grip tape, coating, or abrading, I'll do it properly so it lasts and actually works when wet.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Planning permission?** Not needed for anti-slip treatments - it's maintenance, not alteration. Fire away. **Moss problem too?** Kill and remove moss first, then treat. Otherwise you're just putting grip tape over slippery moss - still dangerous. **Exeter's older properties?** York stone steps and old paving can be treated sensitively - doesn't have to ruin the look of period features while making them safer.
Frequently Asked Questions about Anti slip treatment in Crediton
What surfaces can you treat?
Most hard surfaces - paving, stone steps, concrete ramps, wooden decking, tiles. Each needs a different approach. Grip tape for smooth surfaces, anti-slip coating for porous ones, abrading for some. I'll recommend what works best for yours.
How long does the treatment last?
Depends on the method and foot traffic. Grip tape lasts 2-5 years, coatings 3-7 years typically. High traffic wears it faster. I'll advise on what to expect for your specific situation and usage.
Will it look ugly?
Doesn't have to - there are subtle options. Clear anti-slip coatings barely show, grip tape comes in colors to match your surface. Yes, some high-visibility options are more obvious, but that's sometimes the point for safety.
Can you do my decking?
Yes - wooden decking gets lethal when wet. I can add grip strips, anti-slip decking stain, or roughen the surface. Makes a huge difference, especially for Devon winters when everything stays damp for weeks.
Is this something I could do myself?
Grip tape strips, yes - fairly straightforward DIY. Full anti-slip coating? Trickier - needs proper prep and application to last. Abrading or grooving? Definitely not DIY unless you've got the right tools and experience.
