UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Henley-on-Thames and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Henley-on-Thames is one of the most affluent and visitor-heavy towns in the Thames Valley, with a hospitality and leisure economy concentrated around the river, the Royal Regatta, and the Henley Festival. Hotels, restaurants, and members' clubs along the riverside generate consistent slip testing demand, particularly around outdoor terraces and water-exposed areas.
We attend Henley as part of our wider Thames Valley schedule, often combining with Reading, Marlow and Wallingford. Riverside and outdoor-area testing requires care to capture realistic wet-state PTVs, which is exactly what the BS 7976 method is designed for.
Riverside hotels, restaurants and pubs, members' clubs, retail in the town centre and Bell Street area, schools and independent education, and event venues used during the Regatta and Festival seasons.
Henley falls under the Reading County Court for personal injury matters. PTV evidence captured under BS 7976 by a UKAS-accredited testing body is the gold-standard evidence type for both pre-incident risk management and post-incident defence.
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.
