Elements Surveying Group specialises in asbestos surveying, sampling and independent advice. We do not sell asbestos removal services, so our survey recommendations remain focused on the condition, risk and appropriate management of the material identified.
Where removal or remedial work is genuinely required, we explain what that normally involves and what a licensed contractor would need — then leave you free to appoint whoever you choose.

Why Huntingdon
Huntingdon's mix of Georgian market-town fabric, post-war housing and 1980s industrial estates regularly contains AIB, textured coatings and cement roof sheets. Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Ermine Business Park and Huntingdon Racecourse are landmarks in the area, and typical of the pre-2000 building stock we survey.
PE28, PE29 — and the wider Cambridgeshire area.

Buildings constructed or refurbished before 2000 are more likely to contain asbestos-containing materials. For non-domestic premises, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 places a duty to manage asbestos on the relevant dutyholder. Before refurbishment or demolition work that could disturb the building fabric, an appropriate asbestos survey should be carried out where asbestos may be present, so the risks can be identified and managed before work begins.
