Grantham is a market town on the East Coast Main Line and the A1, with a substantial logistics and manufacturing base, a busy retail and hospitality core around the Market Place, and Grantham Hospital. The town's position on the A1 corridor makes it a major distribution and logistics node serving the East Midlands and beyond.
Grantham visits combine with Lincoln, Newark and Stamford. Typical scope includes retail and hospitality compliance, the hospital estate, and the major distribution and food-processing employers along the A1.
United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (Grantham Hospital), retail and hospitality, distribution and logistics employers along the A1, schools and care homes, and South Kesteven District Council's civic estate.
Grantham claims are heard at Lincoln County Court. UKAS-accredited reports — carrying the Crown and Tick logo and a Schedule 7933 reference — are routinely treated by insurers as decisive evidence on whether a floor met published industry guidance.
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.
