Percolation Tests carries out BRE365 percolation and foul infiltration testing across Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire countryside, supporting planning applications for both town and rural sites.

Ground conditions in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury sits within a loop of the River Severn on predominantly sandstone geology, which generally percolates reasonably well, though river terrace deposits near the water and glacial till in surrounding rural areas can behave very differently. Rural plots just outside the town, common for self-build projects in this area, often show more variable results than the town centre itself.

What we test for

• BRE365 percolation testing for surface water soakaway design
• Foul effluent infiltration testing (Part H) for septic tanks and treatment plants
• Drainage strategy support for planning submissions

Coverage

We test across Shrewsbury town and the surrounding villages, including Bayston Hill, Shawbury, Bicton, and Meole Brace. Available Monday to Friday.
