Hi! my name is Steve and I am an architect. This is the first time I have been asked by a local authority to provide a tree survey. After searching through Google and speaking with several companies I was lucky to come into contact with ROAVR. I was surprised to find how approachable, and professional they were through the whole process. They were reasonable in the pricing and very quick in carrying out the required survey and report. I will have no hesitation to using them again and recommending them to other architects.

Excellent service. Well equipped, prompt and detailed report hopefully more than that required by Planning Authority and Consultant. Distance was no object and a much better service and price than we could get locally. Also did aerial photos of a disputed boundary with GPS overlay without extra charge. Very pleased

I employed ROAVR to conduct an arboricultural survey which was required to gain planning permission for a house extension. Matt and the staff at ROAVR were very efficient in sorting out a prompt appointment. The detail and professionalism of the 17 page report was excellent and considering other quotes I received, ROAVR provide excellent value for money.

A very impressive service carried out on our small woodland in London at short notice. We have received a very clear and thorough report (and a helpful video) giving us exactly what we need in understanding the urgent work required on the trees and in the appropriate future management of the woodland, all of which is subject to TPOs. We will now use the report to apply for the required consents to undertake this work.

I could not speak more highly of the service provided.
I contacted them after getting a three month run-around from the Council over an aboricultural report I submitted from another source. ROAVAR provided an exceptionally detailed, highly professional report to me within a few days, and the only comment the Council made within a few days of me sumitting it was: 'Planning condition discharged, you are free to go ahead with your project. ROAVAR's promise to make the Council go away was very true.
If you are looking for perfection and a positive outcome it's the place to go.
I thank them for speedily solving my problem and relieving my stress.

I came across ROAVR on the internet whist searching for information on tree surveys as one had been requested during my planning application for stables. I received a call from Matt and a quote the following morning and two days later someone was onsite gathering information, the written report was available a few days later and it was all done within about a week. The speed was important as I didn t want to hold up the application. The tree survey has been accepted by LCC and I received planning permission yesterday. Thanks Matt and all at ROAVR

We were having problems providing a good quality tree survey and method statement for the siting of a Forest School building. Matt and the team took these issues, produced a great tree survey, Arboricultural Implications Assessment & Method Statement, which allowed us to discharge the planning conditions and produce a tree protection plan.
Thank you guys. Very helpful and professional service. Would highly recommend them.

There is no need to consider any other consultant if you are looking for a tree report/survey/arboricultural assessment in The Highlands (and maybe anywhere else!?).
Matt provided a prompt, personalised and professional service at a competive and clearly described price.
I am delighted with the precision and clarity of the report. Both its content and the way that it is presented are certain to be a very positive help for us in supporting our planning application.

The quick and professional response by Matt and his team was fantastic. The video walk through is a great asset as Matt explained everything about their findings and would happen next. Also, it was so easy to start the whole process. Overall an excellent experience.

We needed planning permission to erect a car port next to our garage. We are in the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the oak next to the site is protected by a tree preservation order. ROAVR responded quickly and efficiently to our request for a tree report and was instrumental to our gaining planning permission. I would unhesitatingly recommend their services. Adrian Banks, Kent.

I first found ROAVR through google after being requested to get a tree protection plan as part of our planning application. I was shopping around for different quotes and ROAVR were the cheapest, had the best quote/payment method and after a 30 minute chat with one of their guys it was a no-brainer.

I was a little worried because the burden of researching and finding someone to carry out this work was put on me and I don't know anything about it but the report comes through with a video explanation and was really easy to understand.

We actually had to jump through quite a few hoops to get our planning including a request for a preliminary ecological assessment (PEA) which I got the guys at ROAVR to do as well. We were even pushed to go into further detail on the tree report which Matt did for us with a really quick turnaround.

Overall, I couldn't be happier. ROAVR were quick to respond, professional and overall got us our planning application accepted within the timeframe.

Would highly recommend.

We had a requirement to get a arboriculture survey and a badger (environmental) survey for an extension to our house that came as a surprise. Having searched around for individuals who could do one, but not the other, I chanced upon ROAR Environmental who arranged both at short notice and completed the study and reports in good time for our planning application to be resurrected and successfully approved. Without their help , I might have dropped the project, since our property was in a area of conservation . Matt was very responsive with all queries raised and helpful . I was very impressed with their service and professionalism and would happily recommend them for any similar work.

5 plus service for the team at ROAVR. Having been let down by several companies in recent weeks and months it was such a joy to finally find a company who did their upmost to help us. We needed a tree protection plan for our planning permission and really struggled to find an arborist to do it for us. Within hours of reaching out, Matt phoned to discuss everything and arranged an appointment on site within 48 hours.....report followed on the next working day!! We were particularly impressed with the modern technology used to support the report, and the explanatory video which accompanied the report was fantastic to explain all the finer detail to us.
I would highly recommend this company to everyone, and their professional, friendly, prompt and top quality service is an extremely rare find these days.
Thanks again to all the team for your help.

I approached ROAVR along with a couple of other companies to quote for a tree survey to BS5837 for my planning application. ROAVR was competitively priced and in a follow up call with Matt he confirmed they could meet my timescales. Communication has been excellent from ROAVR before, during and after. The report came with an informative video talking me through it, which was really useful it made the report clear and pointed me to the key information. The report is thorough, reads well and excellent value. Overall, I have had a very positive experience with ROAVR and would happily recommend them. Thanks to the ROAVR team.

I am an early career property developer and I was looking for a tree survey to discharge some conditions on my planning permissions urgently to be able to kick off the development. Without the survey my project would have been left on hold and I couldn t proceed, and the standstill period was going to cost me a lot of money. Thanks to ROAVR we now have the tree survey completed and report written all within 3 days and we are able to proceed. I therefore highly recommend ROAVR Environmental, for offering a fair price, quick responses, quick turnaround and also being so accommodating and thoughtful. Thanks to Matt and his team for the great job, well done. If I or any of my friends need a tree survey in future projects, he is the man to go to. Thanks again :-)

I have only good things to say about my experience with ROAVR.
I reached out to them to provide a basic Tree Constraints Plan, for my Architect to overlay on his design for a house extension.
The survey and report were carried out & produced quickly & delivered with a helpful video walk-through.
Slick use of technology + a great customer focus, I have no hesitation in recommending & will be using ROAVR further, should my project require additional expert advice.

I am a planning consultant with many years experience, and am well used to working alongside tree professionals. I have been extremely impressed by the ROAVR team. They have been incredibly helpful in advising about a very sensitive tree matter and have provided clear and punchy guidance throughout in a very responsive and lucid manner. Their "video update links" are extremely helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending their services. Top notch!
