Surface Performance is a UKAS accredited slip resistance testing laboratory (lab 7933) serving Cardiff and the surrounding Wales area. Post-incident work, routine audit, acceptance testing and expert witness — reported within 5 working days.
Cardiff is the Welsh capital. St David's Shopping Centre, University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff Bay and the Principality Stadium all commission UKAS testing. Cardiff is 2.5 hours from our laboratory via the M4.
Non-accredited slip tests are not admissible as evidence in civil or regulatory proceedings. When a pedestrian slips at a Cardiff 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.

NHS Trusts and private hospital operators in Cardiff, retail landlords and individual store operators, local authority estates teams, insurance loss adjusters handling claims against Cardiff venues, and multi-site facility managers running portfolios that include Cardiff sites. UKAS accreditation is the baseline requirement across all of them.
Single-site surveys in Cardiff typically start in the low-to-mid hundreds of pounds plus travel, with pricing scaling by number of test locations and report complexity.
