Bats are a vital part of our ecosystems —pollinating plants, dispersing seeds, and playing a key role in controlling insect populations. In the UK, all bat species and their roosts are protected by law. That means if your project might impact bats or their habitats, you have a legal responsibility to assess and mitigate those impacts properly.
We specialise in bat surveys and ecological advice that help clients meet their obligations while supporting conservation outcomes.
We use a combination of non-invasive survey techniques, expert knowledge, and modern technologies to determine how bats are using a site, whether roosting, commuting, or foraging
desktop and site-based checks of buildings, trees, or structures for bat potential
dusk and dawn observations using bat detectors and experienced ecologists
remote detectors capturing bat calls over multiple nights
identifying roost features with minimal disturbance
helping you design practical solutions and secure Natural England bat licences where needed
to ensure roost protection and habitat enhancement post-development
We don’t just tick survey boxes —we help you make informed, ethical decisions that protect both your project and local wildlife. Our team understands the legal framework, the ecological science, and the practical realities of land use. We’re here to guide you through the process with clarity, professionalism, and ecological integrity.
At Symbiosis Associates, we believe in working with nature, not against it. Our philosophy is rooted in deep ecology, which sees the natural world as interconnected and valuable in its own right.
