Peacock Engineers · Carlisle
Site engineers and surveyors, based in Carlisle.
Most firms that say Cumbria are driving up from Newcastle or Yorkshire. We are already here. A written quote by 5pm the same working day.
The week this matters
The pour is booked. The engineer isn't here.
Your groundworks start Monday. The gridlines need to be on the ground by then, checked and signed for.
The firm you rang last week still has not sent a price. The one that did quote is coming from Yorkshire, and their day starts with two hours of motorway. If anything overruns, you lose the slot and the crew stands about.
Worth knowing
Distance, dressed up as coverage.
Search for a surveyor in Carlisle. Most of what you find is firms in Yorkshire, Newcastle and London with a Carlisle page on their website.
They will do the job. But every visit carries hours of driving. You feel that in the price, in the response time, and on the Friday afternoon something needs checking again.
We work from Lowther Street, in Carlisle.
What we measure
One page per job. Pick yours.
Setting out
Your drawings marked on the ground, so the build starts in the right place.

A precise map of your site: levels, boundaries, services, trees, buildings.

Millions of measured points. The whole structure, exactly as it stands.
→04Movement monitoring
Is it moving? Structures and ground watched over weeks or months, reported plainly.
→05GPR / utility surveys
What is under the ground before you dig into it.

In writing
Two promises, both measurable.
A written quote by 5pm the same working day.
Ring or write before lunch and you will usually have it sooner. The quote states the price, the day we arrive, and what you get.

Before you ring
The four questions everyone asks.
How fast can you get to my site?
We are based in Carlisle, so most Cumbrian sites are under an hour away. Tell us where you are and we will give you a day in writing with the quote.
What do I need to send you?
Whatever you have. A postcode and a phone number is enough to start. Drawings help if they exist. If you are not sure what you need, ring us and describe the job in your own words.
What does it cost?
The everyday jobs have starting prices on the What it costs page. Bigger schemes are worked out properly and put in writing before anything starts.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A one-day setting out visit or a small topo gets the same kit and the same care as a rail job. Small jobs are how most people meet us.
