Laboratory Tunbridge Wells

If you are in the process of buying or selling land with exposed natural ground, we highly recommend performing a soil laboratory 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 soil testing and the land is proven to be free from contaminants, then it may increase the market value.

We can carry out a range of laboratory tests which can pick up a variety of physical and chemical contaminants 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 laboratory testing in Tunbridge Wells:
