Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Manchester and the surrounding Greater Manchester area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Manchester is one of our busiest UK markets outside London. The Greater Manchester conurbation — ten boroughs, approximately 2.9 million people — concentrates substantial retail, industrial, educational and leisure estate requiring UKAS slip testing. We typically run Manchester surveys across 2-3 day visits, combining multiple commissions for operational efficiency.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Manchester 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.
The fastest route is a phone call on 020 8246 5562 or email info@surfaceperformance.com. We quote within one working day and typically visit within the following week.
