Percolation Testing in Nottingham

Percolation Tests carries out BRE365 soakaway percolation testing and foul infiltration testing across Nottingham, supporting planning applications and drainage design throughout the city and surrounding county.

Ground conditions in Nottingham

Nottingham is well known for its Sherwood Sandstone bedrock, which generally percolates well and has historically made the area suitable for soakaway drainage — the sandstone is even riddled with man-made caves cut into it for this reason. However, overlying clay deposits and made ground in parts of the city can still produce slower percolation results, so a site-specific test remains essential rather than relying on the area’s sandstone reputation alone.

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 Nottingham city centre, West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, Carlton, and the surrounding suburbs. Available Monday to Friday.
