UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Chipping Norton and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Chipping Norton is the gateway to the Cotswolds in north-west Oxfordshire and has a high-end hospitality and leisure economy serving both local visitors and the wider Cotswolds tourism market. The Theatre, the Soho Farmhouse cluster nearby, and the historic high street pubs and hotels are regular sources of slip testing enquiries.
Chipping Norton visits combine with Witney, Burford and Stow-on-the-Wold. The Cotswolds stone floors, riverside terraces, and high-traffic spa and pool areas all require careful per-zone test planning.
Boutique hotels, country house venues, gastropubs and restaurants, members-only retreats and spas, schools and care homes, and the agricultural and rural business community.
Slip claims arising in Chipping Norton fall within the Oxford County Court area. The hospitality and leisure sector in particular faces a high frequency of slip and trip claims, and UKAS-accredited testing is the most cost-effective form of insurance against indefensible exposure.
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.
