UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Long Eaton and across Derbyshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Long Eaton sits on the Erewash, on the boundary between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, immediately north of the M1 J25. It has a busy retail high street, a substantial leisure and hospitality scene around the Trent Lock and Attenborough Nature Reserve area, and is the largest town in the Erewash district.
Long Eaton visits combine with Beeston, Nottingham, and Derby. We test independent retail and hospitality, the leisure and waterside venues, and the manufacturing and logistics occupiers around the M1 junction industrial estates.
Independent retail and hospitality, manufacturing employers (Long Eaton has a long-standing furniture-making heritage that survives in several specialist makers), waterside leisure venues, schools, and care homes across the Erewash district.
Long Eaton claims fall within the County Court at Nottingham for Notts-side incidents and Derby for Derbyshire-side incidents. UKAS-accredited PTV testing is recognised as evidence in both court areas without distinction.
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.
