Dial Before You Dig
Anyone planning or excavating for any site in the UK - from major contractors to utilities, authorities to private citizens -
can get plans of buried services from all known asset owners, for any purpose.
Simply register for free with National One Call, locate your site, mark up the online plan and state your work intentions, then choose between
SelfPlan (where you do all the work) or Retriever (where we do
it all for you):
Retriever - Dial Before You
Dig for Professionals
We do everything for you and deliver your Planning Pack
in 12-15 working days, usually for just £99*. Your pack includes
each
plan, any Not-Affected statements, certification and copies
of any invoices from any utilities that charged for
searching their records.
We join with our InSite partners to offer additional services including Express, E-Plan, Multiple Planning Packs, Fusion Plan and Surveys.
SelfPlan - our Free Public Service*
We give you the plan you created, a standard letter, the
list of possible contacts, and a checklist for recording
responses etc, totally free of charge. You then do all the contacting, paying of
any charges, collating of utility plans, recording
replies, chasing up late responses etc.
* Note that some utilities charge for plans. You are liable for these costs whether you choose SelfPlan or Retriever.
Utilities and Asset Owners
We have a range of services that only asset owners can
use. There are of course no charges to be a receiver of
enquiries through Dial Before You Dig and we provide you with
AssetGuard for free to manage and respond.
We provide a free service called AssetGuard that
sends enquiries to every asset owner, and
lets them go online to make an instant response. AssetGuard also has free enquiry manager and scheduling functions.
UtilityLink lets asset owners and authorities make
unlimited enquiries between themselves for their own
planning needs, using the same tools to make contact, record
and monitor that we use for Retriever except that
responses come to directly you to deal with, not to us.
We have a service called PlanBroker where we provide plans and responses for all enquiries to the asset owner.
Search conducted, plans provided, standard documents
used, charges collected, plant-protection officers
alerted. Free up staff to protect plant, not
provide plans.
Authorities - Monitoring and Coordination
We have a very special free service called Monitor which
authorities can use to help manage work intentions in their
area.
We provide a free service called HawkEye that
lets every UK authority receive details of every enquiry
in their authority area, whether or not the enquirer
requested contact with the authority. With
settings for the kinds of enquiries they wish to see,
Monitor aids hard-pushed authorities.
InSite Services (Beyond Utility Plans)
National One Call offers a range of services for those jobs that require more accurate and detailed information about the site when planning, or can provide you with services such as site investigation, excavation, plant hire etc when undertaking works. These services are provided by specialist members of our InSite Network who we contract with to supply these to you.
Our InSite Survey Services massively reduce that risk by finding out precisely what you are dealing with on that your site and because we have a range of services you can choose the one that best suits the requirement you have per site.
