BGS Borehole Report
In order to give you a quote for a water borehole, we will need to know how far down we must drill, i.e. how deep down the water table is. This information can be provided by the BGS (British Geological Survey)
How to order a Water Borehole survey from the BGS.
Contact the BGS by phone: 01491 692 361
By Fax: 01491 692 345
Or by e-mail at: hydroenq@bgs.ac.uk
They will need the following data:
Postcode for the proposed borehole (if a specific location is required on a large property they will require a sketch or diagram)
How you wish to receive the report, i.e. Hardcopy by post, or by e-mail.
Billing address if different to the borehole site address
Method of payment (Survey costs £310.00 inclusive of VAT)
To enable us to react quickly to your BGS survey, please ask the BGS to email a copy to Synergy Boreholes (formerly CPI Boreholes) The BGS staff know us!, this will not cost any extra.
Alternatively, we can arrange the survey. We are close neighbours of the BGS. We will charge you a £25 administration fee in addition to the £310.00. Should you subsequently decide to proceed and have us drill your borehole, we will be happy to refund the £335.00 in full.

Do you wish to get a survey for Geothermal Boreholes?
The process is as above. i.e. you contact the BGS directly, or use the Survey Request page.
Go to links, (see below, right) and look at the two types of BGS geothermal report available, both can be viewed as samples. Costs are: £55 for the basic report, £705 for the detailed report.
We will be happy to arrange the survey for you. As above in the water section, we will charge a £25 administration fee on top of the BGS charge. Should you subsequently place your order for the borehole drilling with us we will be glad to refund this payment in full (basic report only).
The second, more expensive report, is advisable if
a) You need multiple boreholes over an extended area, or,
b) If the proposed site is situated on land with any indication of geological abnormality, i.e. landfill, slippage, subsidence etc.
