Drinking Water Testing in Pontesbury, Shropshire
We arrange drinking-water tests for private supplies and mains-fed properties. Whether you are investigating a change in the water or checking a house before buying, we can explain which analysis is useful.
What would you like checked?
A water test can help explain staining, a change in taste or a failed result. We arrange sampling and help you understand the laboratory findings.
We’ll agree which samples and tests are needed before the visit. Analysis is carried out by laboratories accredited by UKAS for the relevant tests.
Arranging a water test in Pontesbury
We also cover Shrewsbury and central Shropshire around Pontesbury. Include the exact property postcode and any separate address for the source or equipment so our office can plan the visit with you.
Poor pressure at a distant bathroom can involve filters, pumps, storage or the supply pipe between buildings. JN can investigate the whole delivery arrangement at a privately supplied Pontesbury property, rather than assume that a larger pump is the answer.

Poor pressure as well as water-quality concerns
Is every tap affected, or only part of the property? We can investigate the pressure and arrange water analysis if both need checking.
The sampling point matters: source water, treated water and the kitchen tap can give different results. We’ll agree where to sample.
What do you need the results for?
Minerals, staining and treatment
Staining and deposits need the cause checked. Water analysis helps us decide whether iron, manganese, acidity or another issue needs attention.
A purchase or a required report
If a lender or solicitor needs a report, send their requirements before booking. We can then confirm the tests and reporting needed.
What happens after the report?
You receive the laboratory report and we explain the findings. If work is needed, we can quote for servicing, repairs or treatment. Keep the report and sampling details with the property records.
Follow the council’s advice on using the water. A private sample does not replace any required council monitoring or risk assessment.
Before you book
Do you test private and mains drinking water?
Yes. Tell us which supply you have and what concerns you. For a problem with mains tap water, contact your water supplier first. We can arrange private sampling where needed.
Can this be combined with a house-purchase assessment?
Yes. We can quote for water sampling alongside a check of the pumps, tanks and treatment equipment. A laboratory report and an equipment assessment answer different questions. See the property-buyer guide.
How much will testing cost and when will results arrive?
We’ll confirm the price and expected laboratory turnaround before you book. The cost depends on the tests, sample numbers and visit.
