Materials Testing Tonbridge

If you are in the process of buying or selling land with exposed natural ground, we highly recommend performing a soil test. Even if you are in the process of selling land, it is integral that you are aware of the potential contaminates on your land to avoid the risk of financial penalties. Plus, if you perform testing and the land is proven to be free from contaminants, then it will increase the market value.

We can carry out a range of materials testing in Tonbridge which can pick up a variety of physical and chemical contaminants in soil from heavy metals, hydrocarbons, PCB, and more. We will then provide a comprehensive report of any contaminants found in your soil and any necessary improvements.

We are UKAS accredited for the below materials testing in Tonbridge:
