The ground beneath New Mills
New Mills is built around the Torrs gorge at the Goyt–Sett confluence, where Millstone Grit rockhead is at or near the surface. Superficial cover is thin on the gritstone shoulders and confined to the valley floors. The governing risk here is the steep valley and gorge sides — slope instability and landslip potential — along with abrupt rockhead.

Radon in New Mills
New Mills sits on the gritstone fringe around the Torrs gorge, within or partly within a Radon Affected Area — the elevated-radon ground of the Peak edge.
if the address is affected, the ground-floor slab may need a radon barrier (and a sump at higher levels) under building regs. That specification is your designer’s and building control’s call — we pour the concrete floor to suit the specified membrane and sump detail.
See radon & concrete ground floors for what the building regs require. Check the specific address on the UKHSA radon map (ukradon.org) — radon is mapped per 1 km square, so it varies within a town. General guidance only, not a site assessment.
Flood risk in New Mills
New Mills sits high above the Goyt–Sett gorge, so most of the town is well clear of the water — but the riverside properties toward Furness Vale were evacuated in 2019. It’s the valley-floor plots, not the town proper, that carry the risk.
If your plot is on the low-lying ground, a Flood Risk Assessment may set a raised floor level and flood-resilient construction — a solid, low-permeability slab over continuous tanking. We pour the specified concrete to suit; the FRA and floor levels come from your designer and building control, not from us.
See flood risk & concrete for what’s required. Check the specific address on the EA flood map for planning — only the low-lying/valley-floor part of the area is affected, not the whole town. General guidance only.
Why Barrow Mix?
