PROCESS
How it Works
Three simple steps to connect with the right testing partner.
Search
Find verified test houses and laboratories matching your exact requirements by location, capability, or accreditation.
Compare
Compare service providers side-by-side on capability, pricing, lead times, and customer reviews.
Test
Submit test requests, manage projects, and track results — all through one unified platform.
Why TestHouses?
Engineering teams spend too long searching - often unable to compare like-for-like across regions or standards. We remove that friction.
Visibility into capability that's currently buried or inaccessible
Compare service providers across regions and sectors
Reduce time-to-test with streamlined engagement
Engage with a global network of verified facilities and experts
Confidence
Trust & Verification
Engineering decisions depend on trust. Every provider on the platform is verified for capability, accreditation, and compliance.
What does "Verify" Mean?
TestHouses has verified that providers hold valid accreditation, insurance, and relevant certifications. The verification includes ISO 17025, UKAS, and equivalent standards.
Accreditation & Scope
All listings include the scope and details of accreditation. TestHouses validate credentials, allowing you to match requirements without lengthy pre-qualification processes.
NDAs and Confidentiality
TestHouses supports NDA-ready workflows, allowing providers and buyers to collaborate quickly while ensuring confidentiality and controlled data handling.
Safety and Responsibilities
Testing environments pose safety and operational risks. Providers may need risk assessments, method statements, site inductions, and specific handling processes. TestHouses identifies these requirements early, enabling effective planning for both parties.
Our Aim
About Us
TestHouses began as a concept developed in 2010, shaped by first-hand experience of how difficult it can be to discover and access specialised testing and analysis capability particularly within universities, where expensive equipment is often underutilised.
In 2026, TestHouses will launch commercially, bringing the original concept to life as a practical global marketplace that connects companies, universities, and technical experts.
Make capability visible, comparable, and easier to engage - so engineering teams can move faster with confidence.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make science and engineering capabilities easier to discover, compare, and engage with, so organisations can move faster from development to validation and sign-off, with clearer scope and greater confidence.
We aim to unlock the value of underutilised capability, particularly within universities, by connecting it to real industry needs. This will help facilities generate impact and revenue and provide essential support to engineering teams to reduce lead time, risk, and uncertainty.
