Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Chester and the surrounding Cheshire area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Chester's historic Rows and listed stone pavements require non-invasive UKAS testing. The Countess of Chester Hospital, Cheshire Oaks outlet (in nearby Ellesmere Port), and Chester Zoo all feature.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Chester venue — a retail site, a school, a factory, a council-managed surface — the case turns on whether the surface was compliant, and the only way to answer that question defensibly is UKAS accredited pendulum evidence. Lab 7933 is the answer.
