MSS provides fast, reliable and UKAS accredited concrete cube testing for contractors, concrete producers, developers, engineers, and construction companies throughout the Midlands.

Whether you require regular testing for ongoing construction projects or a one-off concrete cube strength test, our experienced technicians provide a responsive service with accurate, impartial results you can rely on.

Concrete cube collection and testing

We understand that construction programmes move quickly, which is why we offer a convenient concrete cube collection service from sites across the Midlands. Once collected, your concrete cubes are transported safely to our UKAS accredited laboratory where they are cured, tested, and reported by experienced technicians.

Our service includes:

  • Concrete cube collection from site
  • Concrete cube compressive strength testing
  • UKAS accredited laboratory testing
  • 7-day and 28-day concrete cube testing
  • Concrete cube strength reports and certificates
  • Ongoing testing programmes for multiple construction sites
  • Trade accounts for regular customers

If required, our technicians can also attend site to manufacture concrete cubes in accordance with the relevant British Standards, removing the need for your team to supply moulds or carry out sampling themselves.

Concrete Cube Testing

UKAS accredited concrete cube testing

Quality assurance is critical on every construction project. Our laboratory is UKAS accredited to carry out concrete cube testing in accordance with the relevant British Standards, providing independent verification of concrete compressive strength.

Testing is completed in accordance with BS EN 12390, giving contractors, consultants, and clients confidence that results are accurate, traceable and fully compliant.

Our reports clearly present compressive strength results, making them suitable for project quality records and client submission.
