UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Loughborough and across Leicestershire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Loughborough is a substantial market town in north Leicestershire, dominated by Loughborough University's vast campus — one of the largest single university estates in the UK — and home to a major sports surface and elite athlete testing infrastructure. The town centre has a busy retail and hospitality core, and the surrounding industrial estates have a significant logistics and manufacturing base.
Loughborough visits combine with Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby. The University estate runs scheduled testing on common-parts floors, sports facility deck areas, and dining and hospitality zones. Town centre retail and the major manufacturer sites generate consistent compliance work.
Loughborough University estate (academic, residential, sports facilities), retail and hospitality in the town centre, the Loughborough Hospital site, manufacturing and engineering employers, and the major distribution operators along the M1.
Loughborough slip claims are heard at the County Court at Leicester. University estates face high-volume occupiers' liability exposure given thousands of resident students and high-traffic communal areas — UKAS-accredited annual testing programmes are the standard risk management approach.
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.
