Topographical surveys (or land surveys, as they are sometimes known) enables us to map land and buildings. By incorporating precise monitoring techniques and making use of the latest technology, we can provide you with a wealth of information on all of the land’s key features.

Overview

Using this information, we can, for example, map out your garden (hyperlink), get the acreage of a woodland (hyperlink), show the boundary extent of your property, show the sloping and contours of the land for drainage.

Topographical surveys are a great help to planners, architects, and builders who are working on the development of a particular site.

This useful data can prevent unforeseen risks and reduce costs.

Why Our Topographical Surveys?

We can carry out land surveys for plots of virtually any size. Alongside our topographic surveys, we offer floor plans, sections, elevations, and orthographic images, all with varying levels of detail.

Our comprehensive topographical maps can be set to Ordinance Survey (OS).

Although our most popular areas are London, Bath, Bristol, Oxford, and Reading, we can carry out land surveys anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Topographical Survey FAQs

A topographical survey (sometimes called a land survey) is a detailed map of the features of a piece of land. It records the physical characteristics of a site – including boundaries, levels, contours, trees, outbuildings, drainage features, and any existing structures. The result is a highly accurate 2D or 3D representation of the land that can be set to Ordnance Survey (OS) coordinates.

At Sova Surveys, we use precise monitoring techniques and the latest equipment to capture this data, and we can survey plots of virtually any size, anywhere in the UK.

If you’re planning a new build, extension, or any kind of development on a site, a topographical survey is usually one of the first things you’ll need. Planners, architects, and builders rely on topo surveys to understand the land before any design or construction work begins – and having accurate data at this stage can prevent costly surprises down the line. They’re also useful for understanding drainage, flood risk, boundary extents, site access, and more.
