Welcome
At Lab Rock Testing Services, we specialise in reliable, UKAS-accredited concrete testing solutions that help your projects meet the strictest compliance and durability requirements. Whether you're working to project-specific specs or adhering to BS EN 206 and BS 8500, our team is here to ensure your structural concrete meets all necessary benchmarks — first time, every time.
Why Concrete Testing Matters
In the UK, most structural concrete must undergo rigorous testing before it’s approved for use. Our work ensures that your concrete performs as designed, holds its strength over time, and complies with all legal and safety obligations.
Failure to comply can lead to costly delays, structural failure, or rejected pours. That’s why we don’t just test – we deliver fast, accurate, and dependable results, so you can keep your project moving with confidence.
Our Services: Concrete Sampling & Testing
We offer a comprehensive range of on-site and laboratory-based concrete testing methods, including:
🔹 Concrete Cube Compression Testing
Our most requested test. We prepare and test concrete cube specimens to assess compressive strength in line with BS EN 12390, ensuring your mix meets strength grade requirements.
🔹 Slump Tests
We assess workability and consistency of fresh concrete on site, to make sure your mix can be placed and compacted properly without affecting strength or durability.
🔹 Air Content Testing
Ideal for exposed concrete subject to freeze-thaw cycles. We measure the air entrainment levels to confirm durability standards are being met.
🔹 Temperature & Time Logging
We monitor temperature and set times to ensure compliance with project requirements, especially in mass pours or winter conditions.
🔹 On-Site Sampling & Delivery
Our technicians visit your site, take samples in line with BS EN 12350, and deliver them to our UKAS-accredited lab for precise testing and reporting.
