UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Sutton-in-Ashfield and across Nottinghamshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Sutton-in-Ashfield is the largest town in the Ashfield district of Nottinghamshire, immediately west of Mansfield and north of Hucknall. It is the location of King's Mill Hospital — the principal acute hospital for north Notts — and has a busy retail and hospitality core around the Idlewells shopping centre.
Sutton-in-Ashfield visits combine with Mansfield and Worksop. The hospital estate runs scheduled testing on patient-traffic floors, ward areas, and theatre and clinical zone approaches. Town centre retail and food units generate consistent compliance and incident-response work.
Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (King's Mill Hospital), retail and hospitality, Ashfield District Council's leisure estate, manufacturing employers, and care providers across the wider district.
Sutton-in-Ashfield slip claims are heard at Nottingham County Court. NHS Trust litigation sets a high evidential bar — pre-incident UKAS-accredited testing demonstrates the Trust has discharged its duty under both the Workplace (HSW) Regulations 1992 and the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957.
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.
