UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Thame and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Thame is a thriving market town between Oxford and Aylesbury with a strong independent retail and hospitality scene, a Tuesday market that has run for over 800 years, and a growing residential base feeding nearby business parks. The town's restaurants, pubs, and care homes are regular Surface Performance clients for slip testing programmes.
Thame visits combine with Aylesbury, Princes Risborough and Bicester. We test the typical mix of timber, stone, ceramic, vinyl and resin floors found in the town's mixed-age building stock.
Independent hospitality and retail, the Lord Williams's School estate, care homes and assisted living providers, and the small-to-medium business park tenants on the town's eastern edge.
Thame slip claims are heard at Oxford County Court. UKAS-accredited reports, which carry the Crown and Tick logo and a Schedule 7933 reference, are routinely treated by insurers as decisive evidence on the question of whether a floor met published industry guidance.
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.
