Soakaway Soil Testing Services for Architects and Builders

Castledine Environmental offers professional soakaway testing services to support planning applications, drainage designs, and sustainable development across the UK. Soakaway or percolation testing is essential to determine whether ground conditions are suitable for surface water infiltration systems such as drainage fields, soakaway crates, or Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).

Our experienced consultants carry out site-specific infiltration testing in accordance with Building Regulations and BRE Digest 365. We assess soil permeability, water dispersal rates, and drainage field suitability, producing detailed, compliant reports to assist your design teams and satisfy local planning authority requirements.

Whether you're working on a residential extension, a new housing development, or a commercial build, our accurate and timely soakaway reports can help streamline your planning process. We also advise on appropriate alternatives where soakaway systems are not viable due to poor soil conditions or high groundwater levels.

Castledine Environmental works with developers, architects, engineers, and homeowners to deliver clear, reliable results. Our tests help determine the most efficient drainage design for your site while promoting compliance with environmental guidelines and flood risk management strategies.
