Boreholes, Groundwater and Planning Advice in Penzance and West Cornwall
Our services are designed to support the needs of people working with land in and around Penzance. These include:
- Borehole Design and Water Testing – Helping you access your own groundwater supply and assess its suitability for agricultural or private use.
- Groundwater Level and Quality Investigations – Understand what’s below the surface before making decisions about land use or water sourcing.
- Planning Support and Risk Assessments – For rural developments, diversification, or environmental applications.
- Understanding Local Water Connections – We can assess how springs, soakaways, or coastal proximity may influence groundwater behaviour on your site.
We also provide ongoing support such as data interpretation, modelling, and consultancy input, useful for resolving issues, meeting regulatory needs, or just gaining clarity on what’s happening underground.
When You Need a Second Opinion or Dealing with a Challenging Site
If you’ve had a report prepared by someone else and aren’t sure it covers everything, we offer independent groundwater reviews to help you check the facts and make confident decisions. Our reviews are always honest, focused, and backed by experience.
For sites with more complex histories, such as disused mining or industrial land or older infrastructure, we also provide contaminated groundwater assessments.
