UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Banbury and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Banbury sits at the northern end of Oxfordshire on the M40 and has a substantial logistics, manufacturing and retail base — Castle Quay, the Cherwell Business Village, and major distribution centres for national operators all generate consistent demand for slip resistance testing. The town also has a busy Saturday market and a hospitality scene around the Cross.
Surface Performance attend Banbury both for routine annual testing programmes and for post-incident investigation following slip and trip claims. Banbury work is typically combined with visits to Bicester, Brackley and the wider M40 corridor.
Logistics and warehouse operators, automotive and engineering manufacturers, national retail chains in Castle Quay, hotel and restaurant operators along the M40 junctions, and the local authority's leisure and community building portfolio.
Slip claims arising in Banbury are handled by the County Court at Oxford. UKAS-accredited PTV testing under BS 7976 carries the highest evidential weight when defending claims, and is regularly cited in expert engineer reports prepared for litigation.
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.
