“We have regularly worked with the team at Arbtech for a few years now, both on ecological and arboricultural matters. There are few consultants in this field who understand development and work to promote it - Arbtech definitely do. They are a friendly, pragmatic, reliable and experienced team who have never let us down. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Josephine at Arbtech has been excellent in helping us out with our Bat Survey Report which was required by the Local Planning Authority for our residential project. Josephine was very friendly, responsive and patient with our application and was always willing to discuss to achieve the best outcome. Would highely recommend Arbtech!”

“Having been told by our Planning Authority that the minor domestic alterations we were proposing would require a Preliminary Bat Inspection, we approached seven ecology companies for a quote. All responded, but we found your agent Julia Clague-Robinson particularly helpful. She quickly passed the enquiry to one of your consultants, Josephine McCarthy, who took the trouble to follow it up with more detailed enquiries. She phoned and explained the issues involved, without blinding us with science and without the element of 'hard sell' that put us off some of the other companies. Having requested and examined detailed photos of the building in question she formed the opinion that it was likely to offer 'negligible' potential for bat roosting, a view shared by our architect. All the other companies seemed to automatically assume that its woodland setting would mean a full (and very expensive) 'Emergence Survey' would be needed, involving a six month delay to the project. Although not the cheapest option at £586, Josephine's refreshingly objective approach made Arbtech the obvious choice. Her survey followed within a week of confirming the booking and by the very next day, her highly detailed report confirming her initial impression was with the architect, an impressive rate of turn-around by any standards! We found her a pleasure to work with: objective, thorough and highly professional, but never condescending and able to explain clearly to us what she was looking for and why. In what feels like a growth industry urgently in need of some tighter regulation, too many ecology companies seem determined to extract the maximum amount of business from the client and the impression is that the issues are being pre-judged. It's easy to scare the uninitiated with hypothetical talk of 'probabilities' and 'potential' for bat activity, based simply on the location and the type of building involved, rather than any hard evidence. Arbtech seem to take a more balanced approach and, while it may not always generate the many thousands of pounds that a full (and possibly unjustified) survey would produce, it does create good customer relations and we would unhesitatingly recommend your company - and Josephine in particular - to anyone in a similar situation.”

“Preliminary bat survey carried out by Jo McCarthy. Very efficient and knowledgeable lady, who is also realistic and sensible. Very fair assessment. Arbtech, together with The Survey House are easy to deal with, quick to respond and highly organised. I would definitely recommend and use them again.”

“This review is more for Jo McCathy. She attended my site to complete a bat survey. Thankfully there was no evidence of bats, or potential for future. Jo was thorough polite & ultra professional, engaging in conversation to explain the importance of her role. Qualities important and rare.......... Thank you, Regards. Brian Kelly”

“Needing a Bat survey quickly before the end of the season I turned to Arbtech. Arbetch were super efficient delivering everything I needed within a matter of days. Particular praise is due to Jo McCarthy our surveyor. Jo made our first ever Bat Survey a thing of great interest rather than the intimidating experience we expected.”
