Arbtech Consulting Ltd Recensioni 

Good communication throughout despite this region being exceptionally busy so lead time was longer than expected. However Merry our local consultant was able to bring the proposed date forward and was punctual, professional and plainly passionate about environmental issues. They went over and above the brief by taking time to understand our aims and offered advice re improvements to our site design to help biodiversity. Report was detailed, prompt, and helpful.

Very prompt and useful communication. Extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of site surveys.

The response speed was executed with perfection.

Great Service - Highly recommended

This company is flaunting trading standards by misleading statements, leaving out important information about the survey provided and timelines associated with it. Be very careful with them as they are not transparent.
They provided us with this statement :’ You will require the licence application and supervision and if there hasn’t been an ecologist on site in the last 3 months you may require a material changes check’ and then said that an entire new survey was required as it was a different breeding season. Very disappointed

Have just had Arbtech undertake a Tree Constraints Report for my company. Very good and detailed report provided and Chris Wren (Surveyor / Consultant Arboriculturist) answered all my follow up questions.

Very thorough and useful report but the timing offered on the website is very misleading. The whole process took around 10 weeks.

Extremely professional organisation, particularly with communication at every step of the way. Merry was really helpful and was very responsive to my questions and outlining the process. I would highly recommend Arbtech Consulting.

Great service. Would recommend

Say they can do 2 to 4 weeks then take days after booking to tell you its 6 weeks and you could have gone with someone else sooner wasting your time!

We contacted Arbtech as the planning dept had requested we carry out a bat survey on an old garage on a small piece of land we are buying for a planning application

We opted for the rapid service (£889 plus vat) as we needed the report quickly and this had a guaranteed 2-5 day turnaround

The surveyor did call out quite quickly within a 4 days to do the survey (11th September) He spent around 20 minutes on site and then left to do the report.

The report wasn’t ready however until the 25th.

I was still asked to pay for the rapid service however when I queried it they agreed to only charge for the standard service as it wasn’t rapid. I paid the invoice that day and got our report.

Recommended 3 additional surveys next year as the building was high risk for bats. We accept that.

On further inspection. They also commented that “The proposed development could result in the destruction or the disturbance and subsequent abandonment of active bird nests”

I asked if they had seen or looked for any bird nests. They haven’t.

I told them we hadn’t asked for them to do this and NEITHER DID THE PLANNING OFFICER !!!! and would they please remove it as they also noted that no works could be done between March and August unless ANOTHER survey is done (££££££) just before commencement of works is done

Unbelievably they have refused me as their client who has paid them for a service I didn’t want or ask for and is now likely to cause us more problems and money.

Avoid this company like the plague……

Note : Standard practice to fill the boots of the company charging massive fees for a few minutes on site !

Arbtech staff provided a professional service with good communication to the client.

Excellent experience with Josephine, will definitely request her services again.

Excellent service, well priced and on time.

Honest and upfront with pricing and rules and regulations. Quick to respond to my enquiry and fit in the works required in a tight timeframe.

We were going to use Arbtech for a bat survey to help us with getting planning permission for a house we are hoping to build. They sent a staff member out to visit us. She was at our house for no longer then 20 minutes. She put her head through the loft hatch, shone a torch and then went to leave. Knowing the company was charging us over £500 for this visit and a report to follow up I asked what actually just happened. The staff member told me at this point to not use Arbtech as they will then go on to charge us £3000 more for them to come back to complete the survey that we needed. I was so glad she told me as it made us find another local lady who did the job for £700 in total. Including the initial survey and therefore got us the planning permission. A year later after no written letter, voicemail or warning (only via an old email address we no longer use) they sent us to the solicitors to force us to pay for their 20minute visit and a report which only told us we needed another visit which would cost us £3000. We have been charged a additional £218.37 in solicitor fees, £745.17 in total. To us this is just day light robbery and takes advantage of people who find themselves in an already difficult situation. I feel sick to the stomach to of had to pay this company for absolutely nothing. Even their own staff warns you about them!!!! DO NOT USE.

Punctual, pleasant and professional
Staff all round

Prompt response to initial request and site visit followed imminently with the report issued well within the timeframe. Fantastic, would definitely use again!

Jo and her team were really professional and timely. A bliss to deal with.
