Indoor Air Quality Testing in Salisbury
Indoor Air Quality Testing Services in Salisbury
Salisbury may be better known for its cathedral than its congestion, but the city has a persistent air quality problem rooted in a fundamental structural issue: it has no bypass. The A36 runs directly through the city centre, funnelling heavy through-traffic along Churchill Way and Southampton Road alongside the everyday movement of local vehicles. The result is a city centre that has held three designated Air Quality Management Areas for nitrogen dioxide exceedances since 2007, the highest number of AQMAs anywhere in Wiltshire.
Much of that pollution doesn't stay outside. It infiltrates offices, schools, retail units, and commercial premises throughout the city, mixing with indoor-generated contaminants like VOCs, mould spores, and elevated CO₂ to create an indoor air quality (IAQ) problem that most building owners and managers aren't even aware they have.

- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Formaldehyde (HCHO)

What's involved in Indoor Air Quality Testing?
The air quality testing service we offer is a wide range of individual tests for different types of pollutants. Once you book a service with us, the process will flow in three simple steps:
- Initial Consultation: we discuss the building specifications, the current air quality concerns, and what can be done to improve the air quality within the building.
- Air Testing: depending on the types of pollutants tested, we may use passive sampling, active sampling, surface sampling, or indoor air quality monitors to learn more about your environment.
- Detailed Reporting: we hand over a thorough site analysis report to help inform your air quality improvements with our expert recommendations.
