Tennis Courts — Slip Testing in Liverpool

Liverpool Slip Testing — operated by Surface Performance Ltd under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing to LTA-registered clubs, school tennis facilities, leisure operators and private estates across Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Knowsley, Halton and the wider Merseyside and Cheshire region.

The pendulum test, carried out in accordance with BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013, is the preferred pedestrian slip test method recommended by the Health and Safety Executive and the UK Slip Resistance Group. It is the only slip test evidence accepted by UK courts in civil slip injury claims.

Every tennis court environment has its own slip risk profile. Our typical survey scope covers court surfaces, surrounds, wet/algae zones, viewing platforms and pavilion entrances.

Reports are written to align with the regulatory framework that applies to tennis courts — including LTA Court Construction Guidelines, ITF surface classification and BS 7976-2.

Our typical client base in this sector includes club committees, head coaches, school sports leads and leisure operators. We deliver single-site testing alongside group-level programmes for multi-site operators across Liverpool and the wider region.

• BS 7976-2 pendulum slip testing in both dry and wet (contaminated) conditions, with the appropriate slider (Slider 96 shod, Slider 55 barefoot).
• Surface roughness (Rz) measurement on smooth surfaces where pendulum results alone could mislead.
• Photographic and locational evidence at every test point.
• UKAS-endorsed report within five working days.
• Independent recommendations — we don't sell flooring or anti-slip treatments.

Tennis Courts sites across Liverpool typically attend within 1–2 weeks of booking. Multi-site programmes coordinated across multiple tennis courts venues deliver consistent UKAS-accredited evidence at predictable per-site pricing.
