You’ve searched “cost of Phase 1 Desktop Study”—so what’s the real ballpark figure?

Prices for a Phase 1 Desktop Study vary based on site size, complexity and geography. Here’s a rough guide:

Site Type Typical Fee Range Turnaround
Small residential plot £500 – £700 5–7 working days
Large residential/commercial £700 – £1,200 7–10 working days
Complex industrial sites £1,200+ 10+ working days

Q: Why the price difference?
A: More data to scour—historic uses, environmental incidents, hydrogeology—and sometimes a site walkover adds time and cost.

What’s included in our fee?

  1. Historical data review – maps, aerial imagery, trade directories.
  2. Regulator search – Environment Agency and other database checks.
  3. Geological assessment – soil and groundwater sensitivity.
  4. Optional site walkover – visual inspection for obvious contamination signs.
  5. Professional report – clear risk ratings, maps, and next-step recommendations.
