Who we are
Certainty, unearthed.
North East Archaeological Solutions Ltd is a heritage contractor founded in 2026 to help clients navigate the complexities of the planning process — with knowledge, honesty and genuine care for every stakeholder involved.
Our story
Modern archaeology, grounded in the North East.
We are a North East based archaeological contractor offering heritage solutions to the building and construction industry. Our specialism is fieldwork — trial trench evaluation, strip, map and sample excavation, and watching briefs — backed by the Written Schemes of Investigation that keep every project compliant.
Development and archaeology don't have to be at odds. Handled well, archaeological work removes uncertainty from a scheme early, protects the programme, and tells the story of a place before the ground is changed forever.
That's the balance we exist to strike: rigorous, standards-led work that respects the past while keeping your project moving.

Our mission
To provide an exceptional service as clients navigate the planning process.
We achieve it by drawing on vast knowledge and experience of both archaeology and the planning process — and by keeping the focus on people. Staff, clients, local planning authorities and every other stakeholder: put people first, and the best solutions follow.
