When you might need Utility Survey

People usually request this service when a property or site needs dependable performance, when repairs become more frequent, or when a planned project requires the right groundwork before later stages begin.

It is equally relevant where structural movement, access limits, or planning expectations make a straightforward fix unrealistic without a proper assessment first. In decision-stage terms, this is often where teams move from broad options into method selection, sequencing, and budget alignment.

In practice, a clear plan from the start gives owners, facilities teams, and contractors a safer path to completion with fewer surprises during delivery.

How the service works

Delivery is structured so scope, dependencies, and sign-off stay clear from the first assessment through to handover.

  1. Step 1: Review of existing records and project information

    What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.

  2. Step 2: On-site survey using electromagnetic (EML) and GPR techniques

    What this step delivers: You get a clear technical baseline for utility survey decisions in Sutton.

  3. Step 3: Mark-up of detected services on the ground where required

    What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.

  4. Step 4: Correlation of survey results with statutory records

    What this step delivers: You get a clear technical baseline for utility survey decisions in Sutton.

  5. Step 5: Production of utility drawings with quality level classifications

    What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.

Utility surveys locate and map buried services such as electric, gas, water, telecoms and drainage. They reduce the risk of service strikes, programme delays and unplanned costs during groundworks and infrastructure projects.
