About
Your trusted partner for site investigations, testing and ground services across the UK
About Chelmer Global Ltd
Chelmer Global Ltd is a multi-discipline company providing a complete range of ground investigation, testing, consultancy and site services across the UK. Over the years, we have expanded from a dedicated site investigation specialist into a fully integrated provider offering everything from geotechnical and environmental investigations to in-house laboratory testing, drainage work, surveying, utility tracing and full remediation services. This breadth of expertise allows us to support every stage of a project and deliver efficient, coordinated solutions for clients in both the private and public sectors.
Our team combines extensive technical knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach. We work with structural engineers, developers, architects, insurers, local authorities and homeowners who require accurate, reliable and timely information about the condition of land and the ground beneath it. Every investigation, test and report is completed to recognised industry standards, ensuring clients can make informed decisions with confidence. Whether a project involves foundation design, contamination assessment or planning compliance, we provide the detail and clarity needed at each stage.
A key strength of Chelmer is our in-house laboratory, which enables us to analyse soil samples quickly and accurately without relying on external testing providers. This ensures consistent reporting, shorter turnaround times and a smoother workflow from initial investigation through to analysis and interpretation. Our laboratory capabilities range from soil strength and classification testing to contamination analysis and moisture content assessment, all carried out by experienced technicians who understand the wider context of each project.
Our consultancy division supports clients with interpretive reports and technical guidance. This includes geotechnical engineering advice, foundation recommendations, ground improvement strategies, slope stability assessments, environmental risk assessments and drainage design. Where contamination is identified, we provide complete remediation strategies and can carry out required works, offering a full end-to-end service from investigation to final verification. This integrated approach ensures continuity, reduces overall project costs and helps prevent delays.
As our services have expanded, we have added drainage installation, topographical surveying, utility tracing, movement monitoring and subsidence investigation to meet client demand. We also manage remediation of contaminated land and provide final sign-off reporting where required. By combining investigation, testing, consultancy and site works under one roof, Chelmer offers a truly streamlined solution that reduces the need to coordinate multiple contractors.
We take pride in offering a personal, professional and responsive service. Our mission is to deliver high-quality work while building long-term relationships based on trust, reliability and technical excellence. Whether you require a simple investigation for a small site or a complex package of services for a large development, our team is committed to delivering accurate results, practical advice and a smooth project experience from start to finish.
