UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Nottingham and across Nottinghamshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Nottingham is one of the largest commercial centres in the East Midlands, with the Victoria Centre, intu Broadmarsh redevelopment, the Lace Market hospitality cluster, and a major retail core along Old Market Square and Bridlesmith Gate. The combination of two universities, a Premier League football club, the Queen's Medical Centre, and a substantial city centre hospitality scene makes pendulum slip testing a recurring need across the city's commercial estate.
We test floors across the full range of Nottingham venues — from the Lace Market's bars and restaurants, through Victoria Centre and the major retail and food units, the Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall, the Queen's Medical Centre and Nottingham City Hospital, the two university estates at Nottingham Trent and the University of Nottingham, and Boots' campus at Beeston. Visits combine well with Derby, Mansfield and the wider East Midlands schedule.
Nottingham clients span retail and hospitality estates, NHS Trusts (Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust), the higher education estates (University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University), the Boots / Walgreens Boots Alliance campus at Beeston, transport hubs (Nottingham Station, the tram network), and the major employer estates around the city.
Slip injury claims in Nottingham are heard at the County Court at Nottingham and, for higher-value matters, the High Court. A pre-incident UKAS-accredited slip test, repeated annually, is the strongest evidence a Nottingham occupier can produce to demonstrate compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and to defend negligence claims under the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957.
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.
