Environmental Testing
Detailed Environmental Testing
We can test a wide variety of materials such as soils (including rock and aggregates), waters (including groundwater, surface waters, foul water, industrial discharges) plant materials (animal bedding, vegetation).
Booking a Sample Collection
Our new state of the art facility in Eastbourne provides a comprehensive range of analysis on soil and water samples using modern instruments, highly trained and experienced analysists, supported a professional management team.
Standard turnaround is 7 working days at the labs, but we are able to take requests for analysis on 5 and 3 day with prior arrangement. We may be able to handle faster turnarounds subject to discussion.
We Offer a Wide Range of Routine Analysis for Soils and Water
