Industry Leading Standard
We stay with you from first call through to submission.
If you’re building, extending or altering land in Warwickshire, 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.
Across Warwickshire, planning and engineering demands arise from mixed ground conditions, including:
Clay-rich soils, increasing ground movement risk
Sand and gravel deposits, affecting foundation design
River terrace soils near major watercourses, influencing permeability
Previously developed land, where contamination screening may be required
Ground conditions play a key role in design decisions.
Our soil testing and analysis service is delivered across Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire 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.
(Includes the full Core Package)
Adds professional interpretation of laboratory data, showing how results compare with accepted standards.
(Includes Core + Analytical)
A ProHort expert attends site, undertakes sampling and conducts a visual assessment of factors influencing soil behaviour.
Our team is here to guide you throughout the process.

Warwickshire features a mix of urban, suburban, and rural land, including former agricultural and industrial sites. Soil testing identifies contamination, ground quality, and suitability for foundations and drainage, supporting safe and sustainable development.
Warwickshire County Council – https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/
Residential estates, brownfield redevelopment, commercial projects, and infrastructure works often require soil analysis, particularly on sites with historical industrial or agricultural use.
It informs foundation selection, earthworks design, drainage planning, and landscaping strategies, helping mitigate risks from unstable or contaminated soils.
Hydrocarbons, heavy metals, clay variability, made ground, and old fill material are frequent findings.
Yes, test results may lead to piling, slab foundations, or soil remediation measures to protect structural integrity.
Ideally at pre-application or feasibility stage to allow results to guide design and prevent later planning delays.
