Address Cleaning and Geo-coding

What information can we provide?

We can provide clean and correct addresses from any given address dataset, using specific software. Addresses are notoriously incorrect, with missing or incorrect postcodes. Clean source data is essential for effective spatial analysis and easy linking to other health or administrative boundaries.

  • We can provide grid references accurate to 1m.
  • From a cleaned address database, this information can be looked up to a variety of other boundaries.
  • Health geographies can be appended, and administrative geography or any other specified geography can all be linked on location.
