Training Tutorials
Did you know that 1 in 4 properties sit on Britain’s coalfield and there are over 173,500 recorded mine entries in our database. It’s no surprise then that we’re known as a trusted provider of coal mining information, reports and advisory services to the legal and property sectors.
Public safety is a big part of our remit as our purpose is to protect people and the environment in mining areas. Our coal mining reports provide support and guidance to those living in coalfield areas. They are designed to provide confidence and trust to customers buying a property or piece of land for development.
To help you decide which report is the right one to meet your needs, we have produced the training tutorials on this page. They provide a short overview of our reports and services.
If you have any feedback on our training tutorials or need any further help or advice in choosing a report, please don’t hesitate to contact us at reports@coal.gov.uk
If you spot a mining hazard, you can report this to us 24/7 by calling 0800 288 4242.
