UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Newark-on-Trent and across Nottinghamshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Newark-on-Trent is a historic market town on the Great North Road and the East Coast Main Line, with a strong independent retail core around the Market Square, a busy hospitality scene, and a substantial logistics and food-processing employment base on the surrounding industrial estates. The town also has a large showground (Newark Showground) hosting major events year-round.
Newark visits combine with Mansfield, Lincoln and Grantham. We test the typical mix of independent retail and hospitality on the historic high street, the showground's permanent buildings and events catering areas, and the food-processing and logistics employer estates.
Independent retail and hospitality, the Newark Showground (events, exhibitions, conferences), food-processing and logistics employers, schools and care homes, and the local authority's leisure and community estate.
Newark falls within the County Court at Nottingham for personal injury matters. Pre-incident PTV evidence under BS 7976 is the strongest factual defence to an occupiers' liability claim and the type of evidence insurers will request first when a claim is notified.
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.
