Specialist survey delivery
Mobilise experienced ecologists, advanced thermal imaging, and calibrated detectors under a single point of contact. We manage survey logistics, compliance, and reporting so you can focus on planning decisions and licence submissions.
Licensing note: All licensable actions are delivered by EchoSight ecologists accredited as Natural England bat surveyors.
We integrate mobilisation, fieldwork, and reporting so your mitigation advice and licence submissions stay on track.
Before stepping on site we validate constraints, stakeholders, and health & safety requirements.
Accredited agents deploy calibrated detectors, thermal cameras, and manual survey effort to collect defensible evidence.
Data is processed in-house so you receive concise reports, mapping, and appendices ready for submission.
Our bat survey teams mobilise from Newbury with around 60 road miles of included coverage (120 miles of return travel), reaching Banbury, Cirencester, Guildford, Portsmouth, and similar destinations across Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Hampshire, and adjoining counties. We schedule further afield assignments with transparent travel allowances.
Talk to us about phased developments, multi-night programmes, or rapid mobilisation around weather windows—we will build a timetable that keeps your evidence gathering compliant.
Choose the mix of inspections, activity surveys, and analysis your project requires.
Daytime inspections of structures and trees to classify roost potential and trigger further effort.
