Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Torquay and the surrounding Devon area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Torquay's hotel-heavy seafront, Torbay Hospital and the tourism-driven retail and hospitality estate are our main work areas. Coastal weather exposure produces seasonal testing patterns.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Torquay 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.
We typically schedule Torquay work as overnight visits within the same week. For urgent post-incident work we can often attend within 48-72 hours. Call 020 8246 5562 for a specific slot.
Facility managers, estates teams, insurance loss adjusters, local authority property officers, and individual site operators across Torquay. Any organisation needing admissible slip resistance evidence — for claims defence, regulatory compliance, or specification acceptance — benefits from UKAS accredited testing.
Single-site surveys in Torquay typically start in the low-to-mid hundreds of pounds plus travel, with pricing scaling by number of test locations and report complexity.
