How will soil conditions shape planning, design and risk management across your Hampshire site?
Our soil testing service provides clear, lab-verified evidence on composition, contamination and suitability. We translate results into practical recommendations developers, architects and contractors can act on from day one.
Calls answered in 2 rings, emails replied to within the hour.
Clear guidance before you commit.
Working in partnership with clients to ensure planning approval first time
Industry Leading Standard
We stay with you from first call through to submission.
If you’re building, extending or altering land in Hampshire, soil analysis provides the evidence architects and engineers need to design foundations, drainage and risk mitigation accurately.
We deliver fast, planning-ready results that remove guesswork and help keep construction choices efficient.
Engineering considerations across Hampshire reflect contrasting chalk, clay and coastal environments, including:
Chalk geology across upland areas, affecting foundation design and drainage infiltration
Clay soils in lowland regions, increasing volume change risk
River valleys and coastal plains, where groundwater and flood risk influence construction methods
Redevelopment of former military or industrial land, requiring ground condition assessment
These factors regularly influence planning submissions.
Our soil testing and analysis service is delivered across Hampshire and its surrounding districts, supporting planning, design and land quality assessment for homes, developments and large construction projects.
Soil data interacts with multiple planning requirements:
NHBC foundation guidance & shrink–swell tables
BS 5930 Site Investigation Standard
Contaminated land policy & Environmental Protection Act principles
Accurate soil classification reduces structural risk and avoids unnecessary over-engineering.
Our Soil Analysis Reports in Hampshire give developers, designers and landscapers reliable baseline data that informs planting plans, remediation strategies and specification choices with confidence.
You collect the sample using the ProHort sampling kit and instructions.
The sample is returned to ProHort via our courier.

Hampshire contains chalk downs, clay soils and river valleys where ground conditions can vary significantly.
Housing schemes, commercial developments and infrastructure projects often require soil testing as part of planning.
Chalk dissolution features, clay shrink–swell potential and high groundwater levels are frequently encountered.
Testing helps determine appropriate foundation depth and whether specialist solutions are required.
Yes, permeability testing supports the design of effective SuDS and infiltration systems.
Soil testing should be completed at an early design or pre-application stage.
