UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Swindon and across Wiltshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Swindon is a major commercial and logistics centre in north Wiltshire, with The Brunel Centre and Swindon Designer Outlet at the heart of a substantial retail offer, and major distribution and manufacturing employment around the M4 junctions. The Honda site (now redeveloping), the Nationwide HQ, and a wide range of national retail and food operators are regular slip testing clients.
Swindon visits combine with Cirencester, Oxford and Reading along the M4 / A420 corridor. Typical scope includes Designer Outlet common parts, retail and food unit testing, distribution centre canteen and welfare areas, and post-incident investigation.
Major retail centres including the Designer Outlet, distribution and logistics employers, corporate HQ tenants, the Great Western Hospital, and the Wiltshire Council civic and leisure estate.
Swindon slip claims are heard at the County Court at Swindon. The town's heavy logistics and distribution sector base means employer liability claims (slips on operational floors, in welfare areas, in canteens) sit alongside the more typical retail and hospitality occupiers' liability work — both require UKAS-accredited PTV evidence to defend properly.
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.
