Arboricultural and Ecology Consultancy

Are you a planning applicant? Are you looking for a Competitive, Fast and Reliable company offering Tree Surveys, Ecology Consultancy, Reports and Bat Surveys? If your answer is “yes,” please read on.

I’m Robert Oates. As founder and managing director the UK’s leading arboricultural and ecology consultancy, it’s my job to tell you why you should choose us for your survey. The explanation is pretty simple. Over the last 7 years, I’ve tried to shape a company that I’d actually like to do business with.

Why should you choose us for your survey?

We’ve got a great team of surveyors here at Arbtech, all full-time, permanent employees. As well as guys in the office, some surveyors are home-based to be spread throughout the country, to give us maximum coverage at the absolute minimum cost and lead times. That translates directly into a cheaper, better quality service for you.

See for yourself: read our customers’ testimonials at the bottom right hand corner of this page. Or play the short the video clip (see right hand side) to find out more. In summary, though:

No black magic: Prices are published right here on this site

No matter who you are, our prices for tree and ecology consultancy surveys stay the same. There’s no ‘mileage’ or hidden extras. That’s a promise. Where a prices says ‘from …’ it just means there are a lot of variables to take account of, so we need to chat to you first (normally it wont be much different, though.) That’s a promise.

No excuses: Super quick and always deliver on time

Whether you need a bat survey, a tree report or ecology consultancy survey, we’re well respected for our response times to requests for quotations, call backs, and actually getting your survey done and report issued. In fact, most of our surveys are done in under 7 days.

No waffle: Succinct, plain English reports

We communicate clearly and honestly. We don’t stuff arboricultural surveys or ecology consultancy reports with 20 pages of verbatim planning policy, survey standards and guidance. We don’t repeat summaries or methods or results. Local Planning Authorities around the country respect us for this. Presumably that’s why we have a >99% success rate at planning.

Want a friendly chat about tree surveys or ecology reports?
