UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing in Abingdon and across Oxfordshire. BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 compliant. Reports within 48 hours of attendance.
Abingdon-on-Thames is a market town immediately south of Oxford with a strong retail core, a busy market square, and significant industrial and R&D occupiers along the A34 corridor and at Milton Park. Slip resistance testing in Abingdon is regularly commissioned by retail tenants, restaurants, leisure operators and the major employers around the science and business parks.
We attend Abingdon as part of our standard Oxfordshire schedule, often combining visits with Oxford, Didcot and Wantage to keep costs proportionate. Typical work includes shop and restaurant fit-out compliance testing, post-incident testing following a reported slip claim, and annual re-tests for managed estates.
Retail and hospitality operators in the town centre, manufacturing and laboratory occupiers at Milton Park, leisure centres, schools, and care homes across the Vale of White Horse district.
Personal injury claims arising in Abingdon are heard at the County Court at Oxford. Pre-incident pendulum testing supplies the objective PTV evidence needed to demonstrate that an occupier discharged their statutory duty of care, regardless of any subsequent claimant's allegations.
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.
