UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Derby and across Derbyshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Derby is a major industrial and commercial city in the East Midlands, with Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Bombardier (now Alstom) and Pride Park anchoring a substantial manufacturing and engineering employment base. The Intu Derby (now Derbion) shopping centre, the Cathedral Quarter, and a busy independent hospitality scene around the Market Place all generate consistent slip testing demand.
Derby visits combine with Nottingham, Burton-upon-Trent, and Long Eaton. Typical scope includes Derbion common parts and tenant testing, the major manufacturer canteen and welfare floors, the Royal Derby Hospital, and the Derby County FC stadium hospitality areas.
Major manufacturing and engineering employers (Rolls-Royce, Toyota, Alstom), University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, the Derbion shopping centre, Derby City Council's civic and leisure estate, and the University of Derby campuses.
Derby slip claims are heard at the County Court at Derby. Employer's liability claims arising on manufacturing operational floors are particularly common in the Derby market — UKAS-accredited PTV testing of canteens, welfare areas, and circulation routes is the standard pre-incident risk management evidence.
Surface Performance is one of the relatively small number of testing bodies in the UK with full UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 for slip resistance testing under BS 7976 and BS EN 16165. UKAS accreditation means our reports are recognised by courts, by insurers, by HSE inspectors, and by the major insurance markets — without challenge.
We are also explicitly independent. We do not sell anti-slip coatings, treatments, mats, or chemical products. Our only commercial output is the test report itself. That independence is what gives our reports their evidential weight: there is no commercial incentive for us to find a problem where there isn't one, or to overlook one where there is.
