Contact usTopographical surveys on Reigate & Redhill sites
Reigate and Redhill sit below the scarp of the North Downs, with Reigate Hill and Gatton rising steeply to the north and the greensand ridge running through the towns. Much of the land around them is Green Belt or within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and the Redhill Brook and the Mole’s other tributaries create areas of flood risk to the south.
We survey levels, contours, trees, walls and buildings, adding neighbouring heights and street elevations for planning drawings. Typical instructions include steep residential plots on Reigate Hill, town-centre redevelopment in Redhill, Green Belt replacement dwellings and housing land around Horley.
Typical Reigate & Redhill topographical survey instructions
- Contour survey of a steep plot on Reigate Hill for a replacement house
- Topographical survey of a Redhill town-centre site with neighbouring heights
- Levels survey of land near the Redhill Brook for a flood risk assessment
- Measured survey of a listed building in Reigate town centre

Topographical Surveys in Reigate & Redhill | Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How quickly can you carry out a topographical survey in Reigate or Redhill?
A: Reigate and Redhill are a short drive from our Horsham head office, so most sites can be surveyed soon after the scope is agreed. Send a site plan or marked-up aerial with your deadline and we will confirm a date with the quote.
Q2: Can you survey steep sites on Reigate Hill?
A: Yes. We survey steep plots with dense spot levels, contours, retaining walls, steps and neighbouring floor levels, so your architect and engineer can design around the real ground.
Q3: Do you survey existing buildings for Green Belt applications?
A: Yes. We record footprints, eaves and ridge heights of existing buildings, and can add a measured building survey, so your architect can compare existing and proposed floor area and volume.
Q4: What does a topographical survey include?
A: A topographical survey records the levels and features of a site: spot heights and contours, buildings, walls, fences, kerbs, paths, trees, covers, street furniture and overhead lines. We can add building heights, street elevations, floor levels and a 3D surface where the design needs them.
Q5: What coordinate system will the survey be in?
A: Our surveys are tied to OS National Grid and levelled to Ordnance Datum Newlyn using GNSS, so they line up with OS mapping, other surveys and your design. We can also work to a local site grid if your project uses one.
