Get StartedNot Just Rural Properties, Explained For Sandwich
Sandwich properties don’t need to be old, listed, or rural for a bat survey to become relevant, an ordinary roof replacement can prompt the requirement on its own. Confusing this with heritage assessment, which is a separate question about historic significance, is a common and costly mistake.
Where a Sandwich project genuinely needs both, we handle them as the distinct pieces of work they actually are, not a single bundled assessment that misses what either one requires.
Worth knowing upfront for Sandwich projects, an initial bat assessment finding evidence of roosting can trigger a further, more detailed survey stage, which itself has its own seasonal timing. We flag this honestly rather than let it surprise you later.

How We Help in Sandwich
Every Sandwich enquiry starts with working out honestly what’s actually needed, heritage statement, bat survey, or both, rather than assuming based on the property type alone.
From there, we arrange the right level for Sandwich, desktop or full heritage assessment, and book the bat survey at a stage that respects the genuine seasonal constraints.
Sandwich projects with genuine time pressure get booked as early as possible, since bat survey availability is a real constraint worth respecting, not ignoring.

Whatever a Sandwich project genuinely needs, desktop heritage assessment, full assessment, bat survey, or all three, we handle it properly and quickly.
