County-wide coverage · Scotland
Weather profile. Borders weather is wetter than central Scotland's east-coast average; Solway Firth-side towns face additional coastal exposure.
Local-authority EHO context. Scottish Borders Council and Dumfries & Galloway Council each handle Environmental Health.
Centres in Scottish Borders & South run the typical UK retail surface vocabulary — polished porcelain malls, vinyl food courts, polished concrete car-park cores, and granite public realm. Scottish Borders & South's regional context — particularly its weather profile and council-level EHO regime — shapes how the testing scope and frequency are calibrated.
Polished porcelain & terrazzo concourses — the central spine of most Scottish Borders & South centres. Performs well dry but can drop sharply in wet PTV depending on cleaning chemistry.
Entrance lobbies & rotunda transitions — entrance-mat run-off zones are the highest-incident slip area in most centres.
Food court vinyl & multi-tenant transitions — beverage and grease carry-out from food courts onto adjacent mall surfaces creates wet-condition exposure most generic testing scope misses.
Multi-storey car park cores & lift lobbies — the principal wet-shoe carry-in points for out-of-town centres.
External granite paving, stone setts & terraces — open-air sections face continuous weather exposure that warrants quarterly inspection.
