Investigate what lies beneath your client's new home with a range of mineral extraction reports from TerraFirma

When you hear the words ‘mining in the UK’ your mind may be drawn to ‘Poldark’ and the extensive tin and copper mining industry that criss-crossed West Devon and Cornwall or the vast underground network of coal mines that spans large parts of England and Wales, fresh in the memories of families and communities alike. What you may not know is that the UK is peppered with local and regional scale mineral extraction that has shaped the country we live in today. 

There are a growing number of shaft and mine working collapses each year and in areas of the country that were never associated, at least to the unaware, with mining. These collapses, generally referred to as 'sinkholes' in the press, cause a huge amount of damage to property. By accurately investigating what lies beneath,the risk can be mitigated before your client’s new home is pulled from under their feet.
