spray-flash handled our bat surveys with real professionalism. They found a maternity roost we hadn't anticipated and designed a mitigation strategy that actually improved our original plans. The licence application went through without a hitch.
After a frustrating experience with another consultancy, we switched to spray-flash for our agricultural diversification project. The difference was night and day. Clear communication, realistic timescales, and a report the council accepted first time.
