Chemical Testing

Addressing chemical hazards with expert analysis and insight.

Chemical testing plays a vital role in identifying, quantifying, and controlling the risks posed by hazardous substances to both human health and the environment. As a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory (No. 1227) and a multidisciplinary consultancy, Envirochem offers more than standalone analysis. We provide expert interpretation and integrated advice, shaped by decades of experience in environmental analytical chemistry and compliance, alongside occupational hygiene and asbestos management. This wider expertise ensures our chemical testing services are not only technically accurate, but also grounded in practical, real-world understanding.

We work with clients across construction, manufacturing, waste management, and infrastructure to deliver accurate results that support legal compliance, safeguard health, and minimise environmental harm. Whether you require WAC testing, soil analysis, water sampling, or built-environment assessments, our team will work with you to identify the most appropriate and cost-effective approach.
