Concrete Testing ETL

UK-Wide Concrete Testing services

Our highly-skilled technicians can assess the properties and performance of both fresh and hardened concrete, determining strength and workability, whilst crucially ensuring compliance within required specifications and tested as per British Standards. Our concrete testing facility is newly equipped (2024 install) to enable the correct curing and testing of test specimens confirming the quality of your concrete, allowing you to proceed with confidence.

From slump to strength tests, ETL offer a range of concrete tests both on site and in our UKAS accredited laboratory to ensure that your materials meet desired specification, within industry-leading turnaround times. Our expert technicians will provide factual results to allow you to evaluate the properties and performance of your concrete, guiding decisions throughout the construction process.

Our most popular concrete tests

The slump test for concrete is a standard method used to measure the workability and consistency of fresh concrete. It helps determine how easily the concrete mix flows and is essential for ensuring that the concrete is placed and compacted properly without segregation.
At ETL, our technicians have got years of experience making cubic specimens for strength tests, fundamentally ensuring that the specimen is representative of the mix that it came from.
The compression strength test is a crucial method for assessing concrete's capacity to resist compressive forces. In this test, cubic concrete samples are subjected to gradually increasing loads until they fail. The maximum load the specimen can bear offers critical insights about its strength and durability. The test provides essential data for structural design, construction quality control, and performance evaluation.
