A specialist retail division of Surface Performance Ltd — a UKAS ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory with a UK base and verifiable accreditation.
Surface Performance Ltd is a UK testing and consultancy company specialising in pedestrian slip resistance, sports surface testing and floor safety services. We hold UKAS accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025 — the international standard for testing laboratory competence — at Lab Schedule No. 7933, publicly verifiable on the UKAS register at ukas.com.
Our laboratory is based in Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 6DW, with engineer routes covering all 48 UK counties on a planned weekly basis.
Retail premises are the highest-volume environment we test, and they have a distinctive risk profile: high public footfall, frequent spillage, varied flooring types in close proximity, and a particularly high public-liability exposure. retail-slip-testing.co.uk exists as a dedicated entry point for retail estates teams, asset managers, group risk leads, retail FM contractors and insurance underwriters who need accredited slip evidence specifically for retail buildings.
We don't sell flooring. We don't sell anti-slip treatments, coatings, etching products, mats or any product associated with the test result. We are not affiliated with any flooring manufacturer. Our recommendations are impartial — the only product we deliver is the report.
This commercial independence is a structural requirement of UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation. It also means the report you commission is genuinely useful: where remediation is required, you take our independent recommendations to your preferred specialist, secure in the knowledge that the testing data isn't biased toward any particular solution.
UKAS accreditation is publicly verifiable. To check ours, visit ukas.com, click "Find an accredited body", search for "Surface Performance" and confirm Lab Schedule No. 7933. The schedule shows exactly which tests we are accredited to perform — including BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing.
If you encounter a competing testing company, you can use the same UKAS register to check whether they hold equivalent accreditation. Many do not.
