Utility Searches for Contractors & Groundworkers

Every excavation in the UK carries a legal duty to check for underground services before a single shovel breaks ground. Digsure makes that straightforward — fast, complete utility search packs delivered online, so you can start digging with confidence.

The risk of digging blind

Each year, thousands of utility strikes occur on UK construction sites. A single cable or pipe strike can injure workers, shut down a site, and trigger prosecution under the Health and Safety at Work Act. HSG47 Avoiding Danger from Underground Services sets the standard — and it starts with obtaining accurate utility records before breaking ground.

Whether you are laying foundations, installing drainage, or connecting services for a new development, a current utility search pack is not just best practice — it is your primary defence.
