Our Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment is the first stage in our UXO risk mitigation strategy. It provides an essential screening check that highlights whether further investigation is required which is quick, cost-effective and reliable.
Usually undertaken at the very start of a project and prior to intrusive ground works, our bespoke and non-automated 3-4 page desktop study reports will highlight the basic risk factors on your project.
Our reports utilise extensive historical digital archives, library resources, maps and internet sources as well as unique UXO geo-databases – which include datasets that are not available in the public domain.
A Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment report costs only £150 and is produced by our dedicated in-house Research Team, and are usually completed within 1-2 working days of your order.
Our Preliminary UXO Risk Assessments are bespoke and non-automated, and each report adds genuine value to your project.
Our risk assessment reports make use of any data that is available to us offline or online and we consider factors such as historic land use, site location history, recorded bomb damage, frequency of access and the proposed scope of works.
If we find something of interest (possible evidence of bombing / damage, historic military use of the site etc.) or if we find that we do not have enough information to fully assess the UXO risk, and we are aware that additional data is available that would allow the risk level to be fully qualified – we will recommend that more research is carried out by producing a Detailed UXO Risk Assessment.
This does not necessarily mean that your project is at risk, but rather we cannot make a full assessment with the current information available, and we will explain why we recommend that more research is undertaken.
If no potential UXO risk or cause for concern is identified on your project, you can have peace of mind that we will not suggest unnecessary UXO risk mitigation measures.
Useful tip: If a Detailed UXO Risk Assessment is recommended please be aware that the cost of the Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment will be deducted from the overall cost.

The risk of encountering UXO as a result of WWII is not limited solely to London. Through a series of UXO City Guides, we explore the potential of UXO contamination at different locations across the UK.
Our Detailed UXO Risk Assessment is a comprehensive report that highlights the risk level on your project, and any risk mitigation recommendations.
