About
UK Remediation

Our story

UK Remediation was founded in 2009 by Richard Dalton with a simple but ambitious idea: bring together on-site remediation and the flexibility of off-site treatment at a dedicated soil treatment facility – giving UK construction projects cheaper and more sustainable options for dealing with constructions soils. 
 
Our first treatment facility was established on the outskirts of Exeter in East Devon, close to where Richard grew up. Raised by a self-employed single mum, Richard saw first-hand the realities of running a business – the long days, the pressure, and the determination it takes to make things work. While her craft-fair bone china business couldn’t be further from remediation and waste management, the mindset it created shaped everything that followed.
 
That same drive has powered UK Remediation into the company we are today: solution-led, hands-on, and built around the right people. We work hard, we move quickly, and we take pride in doing things properly – without losing our sense of humour along the way.
 
Whether it’s remediating complex sites or delivering bespoke waste management solutions, we’re here to help contractors, developers and consultants find the most practical environmental solutions – safely, compliantly, and with confidence. 

Our mission

To help construction teams deliver projects on time and on budget by classifying, remediating and managing contaminated land and construction soils – safely, compliantly and sustainably, first time every time.
