Cheshire Scientific London provides professional chemistry water testing services across London and the South East

We support facilities managers, estates teams, water treatment specialists and consultants with a full range of chemical analysis services. From drinking water standards and hygiene monitoring to closed system testing for heating and chilled water systems, our laboratory delivers reliable, high-quality results.

Our purpose-built ICP laboratory enables low-level detection across a wide range of analytes, supporting both routine monitoring and detailed investigative work.

Chemical Analysis Services

Our London chemistry testing service supports:

  • Drinking water chemical analysis
  • Water hygiene monitoring
  • Environmental and regulatory compliance testing
  • Closed system water chemistry
  • Water treatment programme monitoring
  • Investigative analysis (corrosion, fouling, contamination)

We can test individual parameters or recommend a complete analytical suite based on your system and objectives.

Closed heating and cooling systems require regular monitoring to maintain efficiency and reduce risk.

We support testing aligned with:

  • BSRIA BG29/2021 – Pre-commission cleaning
  • BSRIA BG50/2021 – Water treatment for closed systems

Systems we support:

  • LTHW (Low Temperature Hot Water) systems
  • Chilled water circuits
  • HVAC systems
  • District heating systems
  • Industrial heating & cooling systems

Regular testing helps:

  • Maintain chemical balance
  • Prevent corrosion and scale
  • Improve efficiency
  • Extend asset life

Testing may include:

  • pH
  • Conductivity
  • Iron & copper (corrosion metals)
  • Inhibitor levels
  • Hardness
  • Total dissolved solids
  • Suspended solids

This helps identify:

  • Corrosion activity
  • Scale formation
  • Inhibitor depletion
  • System contamination

In addition to chemistry testing, we also provide microbiological analysis where required, including:

  • TVC
  • SRB
  • NRB
  • Pseudomonas

This is useful where there is:

  • Oxygen ingress
  • Stagnation
  • Maintenance contamination
  • Suspected microbiologically influenced corrosion

We offer efficient sample handling for London clients:

  • Local drop-off hubs
  • Same-day transport
  • Immediate sample registration
  • Fast processing start times

All testing is carried out under strict quality procedures using recognised standards.

  • Chemistry testing requires specific sample bottles
  • Microbiological bottles are not always suitable
  • Different parameters require different volumes

Important: Always confirm requirements before sampling.

Reliable Drinking Water Analysis for London Premises

Our chemistry testing services support compliance, system performance and water quality across a wide range of applications.

We offer testing using:

ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) analysis

Spectrophotometry

Wet chemistry methods

ICP testing delivers very low detection limits (typically µg/L), allowing precise monitoring of system conditions.

Commercial Buildings and offices

Hospitals & Healthcare

Schools, colleges and universities

Hotels and hospitality venues

Residential and mixed-use developments

Leisure and public buildings

Facilities management portfolios

Convenient Chemistry Water Sample Drop-Off in London

We provide practical London sample drop-off hubs, enabling fast and efficient sample submission.

  • Logged and tracked samples
  • Same-day transport to laboratory
  • Rapid processing on arrival
  • Reliable turnaround times

For larger programmes, we also support:

  • Multi-site sampling logistics
  • Routine monitoring programmes
  • Nationwide transport support

Fast & Reliable Chemistry Testing & Reporting

Our laboratory systems provide clear, structured reporting for both routine and investigative testing.

Benefits Include:

Certificates of analysis

Historical sample tracking

Clear reporting for compliance

Rapid access to results

Where microbiological testing (e.g. Legionella or SRB) is included, reporting times may be extended due to incubation, with interim reports available on request.
