Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Portsmouth's combination of naval heritage, dense urban centre and ferry-port operations generates consistent UKAS slip testing demand. Gunwharf Quays retail, Portsmouth University, the Royal Hospital Haslar, and ferry-port hospitality all commission regularly. Accessible from West London via the M27/A3.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Portsmouth 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.
