About Us

For All Your Water Testing Needs

Oakwater Laboratories was founded in 2014 by Nigel Cauchois, who is a water analyst with over 44 years of experience in the industry. After graduating from Leeds University in 1976, he worked in the Public Health Laboratory in Manchester until 1978, when he moved to Exeter to work for Tickle and Reynolds at 83 Heavitree Road. In September 2014 he began trading as Oakwater Laboratories because Braxton Reynolds was advancing in years and did not wish to continue water analysis. Based in Devon in the South West, we offer full UK wide coverage.
