MG Associates was formed in 1992 to provide an independent service in the testing and inspection of structures.  In May 2008, we merged with CET Safehouse and are now part of the CET Safehouse group of companies. (see www.cetsafehouse.com). We specialise in durability surveys of large concrete structures such as concrete bridges, reinforced concrete car parks, and multi storey and high rise concrete buildings, but we also deal with domestic housing, offices, culverts - in fact all kinds of structures.  In addition to our expertise in concrete, we also have expertise in the following areas:-

• Plasters

• Renders

• Screeds

• Mortars

• Brickwork and Blockwork

• Paints

• Metals, including Steel and Cast-Iron

• Ceramic Tiling

• and, of course, concrete.

We also offer laboratory testing services ranging from chemical analysis, to physical testing and also petrographic (microscopic) examination of samples.  This can be on samples taken by the Client or by our own site teams.

We also provide training courses in concrete as a material and in concrete inspection, testing and repair in the UK and abroad.  Training courses are run in an air-conditioned training facility in Borehamwood and can also be run in-house for a Client directly
