What We Do
Percolation Testing (BRE 365)
Soakaways ensure surface water run-off is discharged into the ground. A percolation test to BRE365 is required to calculate the infiltration rate.
Infiltration Testing (BS 6297)
Where it is not possible to connect foul drainage to a public sewer, you will need to connect to an individual treatment plant.
Drainage Strategy (SuDS)
Drainage strategies are an essential planning requirement no matter the size of development. We work with a local engineering practice for a seamless service.

WHERE WE WORK
Tests we’ve carried out
We have carried out more than 750 percolation and infiltration tests since 2018, from Devon to Yorkshire and from west Wales across to Kent. We are based in Wolverhampton, so the Midlands and the Welsh borders are our doorstep — but we travel, and a site outside the cluster is routine work for us.
Counties we cover
