Retail slip testing in Leicester

Highcross Leicester, Fosse Park, Gallowtree Gate, Granby Street and the wider East Midlands retail catchment.

Surface Performance Ltd — operating under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing across Leicester's retail estate. From flagship city-centre stores and shopping centres through to supermarkets, department stores, fashion retail, electronics, pharmacies and motor retail.

Why UKAS matters in Leicester

Slip injuries are the single largest source of public-liability claims in UK retail. Leicester's retail catchment generates particularly high footfall — and therefore particularly high incident frequency. After a fall, the only slip evidence accepted by UK courts is a pendulum test report from a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The UKAS endorsement mark on our reports is what differentiates evidence accepted as expert opinion from evidence dismissed under cross-examination.

Scope of every Leicester survey

  • BS 7976-2 pendulum slip testing in both dry and wet conditions, using the Slider 96 for retail customer-facing surfaces.
  • Surface roughness (Rz) measurement on smooth retail floors — essential on polished marble, lacquered timber, vinyl and resin.
  • Photographic and locational evidence at every test point.
  • UKAS-endorsed report within five working days.
  • Independent corrective recommendations — we don't sell flooring or anti-slip treatments.

Leicester retail high-risk zones

Across Leicester retail premises, the highest-risk zones are entrance vestibules during wet weather, polished shop floors common in fashion and jewellery retail, refrigerated supermarket aisles, food court floors, customer toilets, escalator landings and external pedestrian routes through shopping centres.
