Castledine Environmental

Castledine Environmental is a nationwide land-contamination and geo-environmental consultancy based in Hoton near Loughborough. It helps developers, builders and private individuals understand and discharge planning conditions relating to potentially contaminated land and difficult ground conditions.

Its work follows a phased process, from Phase 1 desktop studies, site walkovers and preliminary risk assessments through to Phase 2 intrusive investigations, Phase 3 remediation strategies and Phase 4 verification reports. Investigations may include trial pits, boreholes, soil and water sampling, ground-gas monitoring, geotechnical fieldwork and soakaway or infiltration testing.

The consultancy also provides related services including sustainable drainage and flood-risk assessments, ecology surveys, arboricultural surveys, air-quality assessments, UXO reports, asbestos-related work, coal-mining risk assessments and other ground investigations. Its published approach is practical and risk-based, seeking to avoid unnecessary investigation or remediation while meeting regulatory requirements.

Castledine Environmental emphasises clear, friendly advice for small and medium-sized developers, builders and private landowners. Clients can request free initial guidance and no-obligation quotations, with transparent pricing published for several core services. The team works throughout the UK and supports projects from early planning advice through to completion of the required technical reporting.
