Information to include in your enquiry

The more of the following you can share, the tighter the fixed-fee scope. Anything you don't have — we'll ask.

• Environmental permit (or relevant monitoring schedule pages)
• List of determinands and Emission Limit Values (ELVs) if known
• Number of emission points / stacks and their locations on site
• Stack drawings or sample-point details (port size, position, access)
• Any Environment Agency, SEPA, NRW or NIEA correspondence or deadlines
• Previous test reports (useful for like-for-like comparison and trend analysis)
• Process description and operating regime during testing
• Site induction requirements, PPE, RAMS and permit-to-work rules

How Alkali scopes a stack testing quote

Every enquiry is reviewed by a senior MCERTS consultant — not a sales desk. Scoping steps:

• Confirm which pollutants apply from the permit and monitoring schedule
• Map each pollutant to the reference method (see our UK methods and standards reference)
• Check EN 15259 sample-point suitability (or flag if pre-visit inspection needed)
• Optimise the campaign — parallel stacks, shared mobilisation, combined QAL2/AST if applicable
• Return a fixed-fee written quotation — normally within 24 working hours

What's always included in Alkali's fixed-fee quote

• UKAS-accredited testing under Lab 24303 for every pollutant on scope
• MCERTS-standard report with permit-format ELV comparison
• Preliminary results within 48 hours where the schedule allows
• Pre-submission QA review by a former Environment Agency officer
• 14 days of post-submission support for EA / SEPA / NRW / NIEA queries
• Direct access to the named senior consultant scoping your work
