COVID-19
We are continuing to operate as normally as possible and our employees are following best practice procedures with regards to safeguarding against Covid-19.
There has been minimal impact upon the services we can offer, with only certain aspects of survey work (e.g. internal inspection of inhabited dwellings) being restricted until further notice.
As such, please feel free to inquire regarding any ecological surveys or assessments required.
