Water quality testing for councils and local authorities

What we do 

We don’t just carry out water testing for private water supplies. We offer complete support to local councils and Environmental Health teams across the North of England, acting as a trusted adviser and an extension of your team. We provide: 

• Full risk assessments and plans 

• Private water supply testing 

• Supply assessments 

• Treatment assessments 

• Reports that meet government standards 

• Regular maintenance and repairs 

• Training for council and environmental health teams 

If a supply fails a test, we have the expertise to design, install and maintain the filtration systems needed to fix the problem and restore compliance. 

Water testing and reporting to the highest standards 

Our testing, reporting and facilities meet the highest UK standards, helping councils and Environmental Health teams comply with strict government requirements for private water supplies. 

Our water testing experts and on-site laboratory operate to the highest industry standards, including ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation through the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). This ensures every sample is tested, recorded and reported accurately, giving you complete confidence in the results and any recommendations that follow. 

Who we work with 

From large commercial supplies to smaller private dwellings, we work with a range of clients to maintain safe and compliant private water supplies. This includes: 

• Local councils 

• Environmental health teams 

• Domestic homeowners 

• Large commercial operations 

We already work with councils and environmental health teams across the North of England. We act as an extension of their teams, testing, reporting on and maintaining private water supplies across the region. 

We also work with domestic and commercial property owners, rural businesses, National Trust properties and large estates – such as Castle Howard and Chatsworth House – making sure each private water supply and filtration system meets the highest standards.
