Pendulum testing, surface roughness measurement, post-incident investigation, expert witness work, annual programmes, and pre-handover compliance testing — all under UKAS Schedule 7933.
Pendulum slip resistance testing under BS 7976 and BS EN 16165 Annex C is the UK's recognised standard for measuring floor slip risk. Surface Performance is UKAS-accredited (Schedule 7933) to perform this test.
Read moreRz surface roughness testing measures the texture of a floor surface in microns, complementing pendulum testing by quantifying the underlying material property that drives wet slip resistance.
Read moreWhen a slip incident has occurred, urgent UKAS-accredited testing of the floor in its as-found condition produces the evidence needed for insurer notification, claims defence, or HSE investigation.
Read moreSurface Performance's senior engineers produce CPR Part 35 compliant expert witness reports on slip resistance for use in personal injury claims, employer's liability disputes, and HSE prosecutions.
Read moreWe run annual slip resistance testing programmes for retail estates, hospitality groups, healthcare trusts, education estates, and managed property portfolios. Predictable scheduling, fixed pricing, and consolidated reporting.
Read moreWe test new and refurbished floors before practical completion to confirm they meet the slip resistance specifications set out in the project specification, the architect's design intent, and the relevant guidance from the UK Slip Resistance Group.
