We provide environmental services for public bodies managing estates, depots, schools, healthcare buildings and other public premises. The work may support estate changes, statutory duties or a specific environmental problem. The technical service stays the same, but occupied buildings, public access and established site procedures can affect how the work is carried out.
Environmental Services for Public Sector
Environmental work for public estates and occupied premises, with access and established site procedures reflected in the method.
Environmental Services for Public Sector enquiry
Public estates
Environmental assessments and site work for occupied and operational public premises.
Planning and compliance
Evidence for development, property, waste, water and environmental duties.
Reporting
Reports distinguish established evidence, assumptions and any further work.
Environmental work on public estates
Existing surveys, permits, drainage information and maintenance records can be useful when public property is redeveloped or an operating issue needs investigation. We check whether that information still reflects the current building, land use and proposed work before relying on it. Where several environmental subjects affect the same property, they are assessed against the same current layout and use.
Occupied and operational premises
Schools, offices, depots and healthcare buildings can remain in use while environmental work is needed. Access, segregation and the site’s own safety controls therefore need to be considered when planning surveys or site work. The method must also reflect the material involved and the people who could be affected.

Waste and discharge duties
Waste movement, discharges and other regulated activities must be assessed against the duties that apply to the particular activity. The linked waste duty of care guidance explains how waste holders should meet their duty of care in England and Wales.
Environmental reports for public-sector work
Reports and completion information state what was assessed, the evidence relied on, the conclusions reached and any limitations or further work. This keeps the record usable when the property or project is reviewed later.
Environmental Services for Public Sector: common questions
Can environmental work be carried out on an occupied public site?
Often, yes. The method needs to account for public access, the site's safety arrangements and the work being undertaken.
Can existing surveys or reports be reused?
They may remain useful if their age, coverage and assumptions still match the current site and decision.
Can several environmental issues be assessed on the same project?
Yes. Related land, water, planning and compliance findings should be coordinated so they refer to the same site and proposal.
What will the completion report record?
It sets out what was assessed, the evidence used, the findings, and any limitations or further work.
