Our Sectors
Site Surveying Services has been delivering accurate, reliable land and geospatial survey since 1997. In that time we have worked across almost every sector in the built environment — from live MOD defence facilities and secure custodial estates to wetland conservation sites and Premier League standard sports facilities. Every sector brings its own environment, its own compliance requirements, its own access constraints and its own consequences when the survey data is not right. We understand that. Our job is to give you data you can move forward with — delivered by a team that knows your sector and what it demands. Based in Clitheroe, Lancashire, with offices in Matlock, Newcastle and Bristol, we cover the North West and operate nationally. Constructionline Gold. All services delivered in-house. Find your sector below.
If your programme is listed below — or falls across multiple sectors — our team will advise on the right survey scope from the first conversation.

Heritage survey in the North West means listed mills, Victorian civic buildings, canal infrastructure and historic town centres — each demanding survey data that captures the full complexity of the existing fabric with precision conventional methods cannot always provide.

- Control network installation
Housing development across Lancashire and the North West is active. Brownfield land release, urban regeneration and strategic housing sites all require accurate survey data at feasibility, pre-application and pre-construction stages — and a well-specified survey brief at the start saves significant cost during design and avoids programme risk during groundworks.

- Laser scanning
- bathymetric & river surveys

Environmental projects in the North West range from wetland restoration and river management to renewable energy development across Lancashire, Cumbria and the Pennines — increasingly requiring UAV platforms, remote sensing and hydrographic equipment that can capture data safely where traditional methods are impractical.

Commercial development and retail investment in the North West is active — from out-of-town retail and logistics parks to town centre mixed-use and leisure. The survey data that underpins commercial development needs to be accurate, delivered quickly and compatible with the design environment from day one. We work with commercial developers, retail property managers, leisure operators, mixed-use developers, shopping centre owners and commercial property agents across the North West.

Rural Lancashire, Cumbria, the Ribble Valley, the Forest of Bowland and the Pennine fringe all present survey challenges that differ fundamentally from urban and industrial environments. Large areas, complex terrain, limited access and outcomes that affect land for decades — rural survey requires the right methodology and a team experienced in working across these environments. We work with landowners, estate managers, rural planning consultants, agricultural contractors, environmental land management advisers, development land agents across the North West.

- 3d MACHINE CONTROL
The North West has one of the UK’s largest concentrations of industrial and logistics property — manufacturing, food production, chemicals, defence manufacturing, distribution and logistics. Survey on live industrial sites requires method statement planning, induction compliance and a team experienced enough to work around complex operations safely and without disrupting them. We work with industrial facility managers, logistics property developers, process plant engineers, manufacturing companies and industrial occupiers across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Cumbria.

Defence and justice sites are the most operationally demanding survey environments we work in. Security clearances, access protocols, method statement approval — all before a single measurement is taken. We have the compliance record and professional standing to operate on these sites without issue.

Architects and project managers need survey data that arrives ready to use — not data that requires reprocessing. Site Surveying Services delivers BIM-ready outputs to your EIR from the outset, and runs CPD sessions for architectural practices across Lancashire and the North West on how survey data integrates with design workflows.

Public sector survey in the North West spans everything from Lancashire County Council highways programmes and NHS estate surveys to education authority building assessments and emergency services infrastructure. The common thread is accountability — survey data that is accurate, well-documented and auditable, produced by a team with the right accreditations. We work with Lancashire County Council, Greater Manchester authorities, NHS trusts, academy trusts, emergency services, government estate teams and their supply chains.

Before a structure can be safely demolished or a contaminated site remediated, the existing conditions need to be fully established. Pre-demolition measured building surveys, utility mapping and structural records are the data that principal designers depend on to discharge their CDM duties and that demolition contractors rely on to plan safe methods of work. We work with demolition contractors, remediation specialists, brownfield developers, environmental consultancies and principal designers on CDM-notifiable demolition programmes across the North West.
