Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding Essex area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Southend's seafront, Royals shopping centre, and Southend University Hospital commission testing regularly. The pier and coastal paving add specific council-managed surface testing.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Southend-on-Sea 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.
