How We Work

When you need a reliable, experienced ecology consultancy to help with your project we are ready to help. Simply get in touch with us and provide us with the details of your project. Once this is done one of our ecological consultants will send a quote over to you. There is no obligation to proceed with the quote and we provide quotes with no jargon and plenty of information to help you make a decision.

If you decide that you would like us to help with your project, you can send the provided quote form back to us and we will book in a time to visit your site and complete the ecology survey.

Following on from this, one of our consultants will attend your site to carry out the survey. Once the site visit is done they will write any reports required and send them to you.

A Different Kind of Ecology Consultancy

There are quite a few things that make Arbtech different to your typical ecology consultancy. Firstly, with a number of our ecologists being home based and located over a wide area of the UK, we are able to reduce business overheads and work more efficiently. This means we can pass savings on to you and give you great prices on a wide range of ecological surveys whilst not compromising on quality.

Secondly, we provide a money back guarantee. In the event of your local planning authority not accepting our report, we will give you your money back.

Thirdly, we are able to provide a paid upgrade service for clients with very tight deadlines. You can choose to upgrade to our next day report service and we will have your report ready by 5pm the day after your survey.

Natalie’s report arrived promptly after the final survey was complete. Thank you so much.Mary Baker

I was delighted with the professional manner in which the survey was booked, planned and carried out. My extensive search for a suitable firm to provide the report required by a Mortgage Lender led me to ARBTECH and the professionalism conveyed by reviewing the firm’s website was certainly backed up by their performance and comprehensive survey report.Chris Davies
