AS Archaeology and Heritage Services: Commitment to Quality and Expertise

Our Commitment to Excellence

At AS Archaeology and Heritage Services, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions to our clients, regardless of the scale of the project. With over forty years of experience, we have the capability to address all heritage planning requirements, from the initial consultation through to the discharge of planning conditions. Our team’s extensive expertise ensures that every client receives personalised solutions that guarantee outstanding results and complete satisfaction.

Bespoke Heritage Planning Services

Our comprehensive knowledge enables us to offer tailored services for a variety of heritage planning matters. We specialise in providing:

  •     Heritage Statements
  •     Desk Based Assessments
  •    Written Scheme of Investigations
  •    Archaeological and heritage appraisals
  •    Building recording in accordance with Historic England levels 1–4
  •   Drone Survey

Each service is designed to meet the specific requirements of our clients, ensuring that heritage considerations are fully integrated into the planning process.

Commitment to Flexible Support

At the heart of our philosophy is the understanding that heritage planning does not conform to standard office hours. Recognising that clients often need advice and assistance beyond the traditional 9-to-5 schedule, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive support service. Our team is available seven days a week, ensuring that clients have access to expert guidance whenever it is required. Importantly, this extended availability is offered as part of our standard service, with no additional charges for out-of-hours support.

Building Trust Through Client Relationships

We take great pride in the fact that we do not rely on advertising to attract new business. Instead, over 90% of our work comes from client satisfaction, leading to referrals and repeat commissions. Our reputation for delivering quality results has established strong relationships with architects, builders, and previous clients, who repeatedly choose our services for their heritage planning needs.

Geographic Focus and Specialisation

While we undertake projects across England and Wales, our primary area of expertise lies within Somerset and its surrounding counties. This regional focus has enabled us to develop a deep understanding of local heritage issues and planning requirements, positioning us as specialists in heritage planning within this geographic area..

Chartered Institute for  Archaeologists

All staff members at AS Archaeology and Heritage Services are required to hold membership with the  Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) at a level appropriate to their skills. Furthermore, every project is overseen by a fully accredited Member (MCIfA) of the Institute, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards. As a company managed by a MCIfA post-holder, we are bound by the CIfA Code of Conduct, reinforcing our commitment to ethical practice.
