Our desktop Regulated Mining Search reports are the best in the business thanks to our vast in-house mining archive.
We are able to quickly appraise the mining subsidence threat to a property. We aim to turnaround an expert report within 3 working days – with the option to expedite this to 1.
Reports are compiled by analysing and interpreting our mining data to assess the risk to a property.
This includes consulting SecureShaft™ – our in-house, dynamic data set of over 4,000 previously recorded shafts and mine workings. Each of these have been previously secured or treated to varying degrees.

Authorities or stakeholders frequently require property owners—whether buyers, sellers, or developers—to obtain a mining search for their homes and/or land. But why?
Mining related subsidence is the biggest cause of ground instability in the South West with over 16,000 mine shafts and thousands of miles of tunnels, many of them beneath our villages and towns. Find out below how we can check your property for these hidden mining hazards that lie beneath.
With the highest level of research and expert interpretation, our Mining Search Reports hold a reputation as some of the best in the business. Our incredibly vast archive consults over 5000 on-site investigations, factual information compiled from maps, plans and records within our own private archive as well as commercially available datasets.
Consulting this mix of data allows us to produce incredibly detailed and highly accurate reports, all in an easy-to-read report format, designed specifically for conveyance, keeping your property sale moving.
