Ferro Scanning London

BritCut provides professional ferro scanning and GPR concrete scanning services throughout London and the Greater London area. Whether you’re a Tier 1 contractor working on a commercial development in the City, an M&E contractor coring through slabs in a Central London office refurbishment, or a structural engineer needing reinforcement mapping on a heritage building — we carry out pre-works scanning surveys across all London boroughs, typically with same-day or next-day attendance.

Ferro Scanning Services in London

Our London ferro scanning service uses Hilti PS 300 Ferroscan and PS 1000 X-Scan equipment to locate and map steel reinforcement in concrete slabs, walls, columns and beams before any drilling, coring or cutting takes place. We operate in Quickscan mode for rapid pre-drilling rebar avoidance, and Imagescan mode where a full 2D or 3D reinforcement map is required for structural purposes.

BritCut regularly works with Tier 1 contractors including Skanska, Sir Robert McAlpine, ISG, Erith, Morrisroe, and Volker Fitzpatrick on projects across London. Our operatives are experienced working in occupied commercial buildings, live infrastructure environments, and complex urban construction sites where programme pressure demands fast, accurate scanning with minimal disruption.

GPR Concrete Scanning in London

For post-tensioned structures, slabs with embedded plastic services, or any structure where a broader investigation is required, we carry out GPR surveys using the Proceq GP8000. GPR detects rebar, post-tension cables, plastic pipes, conduits and voids — essential across the wide range of construction types found in London, from 1960s post-tensioned office blocks to modern mixed-use developments.

London Coverage

We cover all London boroughs including the City of London, Westminster, Canary Wharf, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Lambeth, Wandsworth, and all outer London boroughs. Our operatives are experienced with the access and logistics of working in the capital — ULEZ-compliant vehicles, permits for restricted zones, and out-of-hours working where required.
