We provide UKAS accredited Fire Resistance, Reaction to Fire, Structural, Physical and Acoustic testing available in one convenient location, allowing a building system to be fully evaluated in one visit. We also provide on site sound testing (Pre Completion Testing) to the building industry, for pre-completion of new build properties, consultation and candidate robust details.

Subject to its stringent requirements, UKAS accredited laboratories are authorised to issue formal reports for specific types of measurement and tests. The Building Test Centre hold UKAS accreditation (No. 0296) for a wide range of BS, EN and ISO test methods, which means that test reports issued by the Building Test Centre carry the same weight as those from other accredited test houses.

The laboratories quality system is based upon and run in accordance with BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005, which outlines the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
