Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Plymouth and the surrounding Devon area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Plymouth is a major South West commercial, naval and university city. Drake Circus retail, Derriford Hospital, the Plymouth Life Centre and Plymouth University commission UKAS testing regularly. Plymouth is a 3.5 hour drive from our laboratory — we schedule these as overnight visits.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Plymouth 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.
