BOTANICAL

RBI, established in 1979 by Dr Ian Richardson, is a consultancy specialising in tree root identification and the naming of wild plants. The identification of tree roots is a service for situations where root problems are part of an insurance claim involving subsidence damage or blocked drains. Our clients include Loss Adjusters, Surveyors, Structural Engineers and Tree Consultants... We are always prepared to offer advice, and are pleased to discuss problems such as any arising from our root identification reports, appreciating that results are sometimes unexpected; of course we will check our records, but by far the most common explanation is misidentification of the trees on site (how about using Tree Recognition: A Pocket Manual?), and we can often shed light on such mysteries.
