Microbiological Testing

Prevent water contamination with end-to-end microbiological services.

Water hygiene and microbiological control are essential for safeguarding health and maintaining regulatory compliance across a wide range of environments. From leisure facilities and schools to healthcare sites and shipping vessels, microbiological testing verifies that water systems remain safe, clean, and free from harmful pathogens such as Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

As a UKAS-accredited testing laboratory (No. 1227), Envirochem provides comprehensive microbiological testing and analysis services, underpinned by decades of experience in environmental compliance, chemical testing, and occupational hygiene. Integrating our extensive range of tests into your water quality monitoring programme allows you to quickly detect changes, determine whether quality has been compromised, and effectively implement the right corrective measures.

Our work extends beyond routine analysis to include expert interpretation and tailored advice, ensuring that all results are backed by clear recommendations. We support clients throughout the South Coast and nationwide, delivering accurate results that help you maintain water quality, meet statutory obligations, and protect your clients and their reputations. Whether you manage facilities, oversee water quality, or maintain leisure spaces like swimming pools, our team can help you identify the right sampling approach and testing frequency to meet your legal and operational requirements.
