UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Kidlington and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Kidlington sits immediately north of Oxford and is the location of the Oxford (Kidlington) Airport, the Begbroke Science Park, and a large business park cluster supporting Oxford-based occupiers. The town is also a major hospitality and retail node serving north Oxford. Slip testing is frequently commissioned by the airport operations, the science park tenants, and the major retail and hospitality businesses.
We combine Kidlington visits with central Oxford, Bicester and Banbury. Typical scope includes airport terminal and FBO testing, laboratory and clean-room edge zones at Begbroke, and standard retail / hospitality compliance testing.
Aviation operators at Oxford Airport, R&D and laboratory tenants at Begbroke Science Park, retail and hospitality, schools, and the major employer estates along the A34.
Kidlington claims are heard at the County Court at Oxford. Aviation operators have additional CAA aerodrome safety obligations that overlap with HSE workplace rules — UKAS-accredited PTV testing is the common evidence type that satisfies both regimes.
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.
