Services

We focus on delivering quality and meeting agreed deadlines.  Our UKAS accreditation and experienced materials scientists and geologists provide clients with the peace of mind required for reliable results that can be used with confidence.  We specialise in the routine screening and examination of aggregates, rocks, stones, hydraulic cement mixtures and other geomaterials in the construction industry, and in the investigation of materials defects.

Our services are invaluable to:

– Quarries for the routine screening of materials produced from existing and new sources.
– Architects for the characterisation of prospective materials.
– Builders and contractors for the investigations of problems arising with building materials (from fill materials, flooring, walls to roofs).
– Renovation and conservation industries for the identification of materials, stone matching and the investigations of defects.
– Property owners (home owners, business properties to local authorities) for the investigation of problems arising with building materials, including stone worktops.
– Surveyors for professional opinions on the quality of geomaterials.
– Materials Testing Laboratories for the provision of UKAS accredited petrographic services.

We have the knowhow to undertake in-house, the management of laboratory and consultancy projects of various sizes.  Alternatively, we could work with other competent laboratories, institutions or individuals in projects that require multidisciplinary teams.
