UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Chesterfield and across Derbyshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Chesterfield is the largest town in north Derbyshire, on the southern edge of the Sheffield commuter belt and the western edge of the Peak District. It has a busy market town retail core around the famous Crooked Spire and Vicar Lane, a strong hospitality scene, and a significant manufacturing and logistics employment base around the M1 J29.
Chesterfield visits combine with Mansfield, Worksop, and Sheffield's southern fringe. We test retail and hospitality units, the Chesterfield Royal Hospital, and the manufacturing and distribution employers along the M1.
Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, retail and hospitality, manufacturing and logistics employers, the Peak District tourism cluster's hospitality fringe, and schools and care homes across the Borough.
Chesterfield claims are heard at the County Court at Chesterfield (a sub-registry of Nottingham). The town's overlap between Derbyshire and the South Yorkshire commuter belt means cases occasionally run in Sheffield instead — UKAS-accredited PTV reports are recognised in both jurisdictions without distinction.
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.
