Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in Ashford — we do not sell the removal work.

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.

How we work

Why Ashford clients choose us

Independent asbestos surveys for Ashford.

Ashford grew hard through the 1960s and 1970s and again from the 1990s, so a large share of the housing predates the year 2000 ban — Stanhope, Bockhanger and South Ashford in particular. Alongside that sit railway-era terraces near the town centre and a long run of distribution and light-industrial units around Sevington and Orbital Park where cement sheeting and panel linings are common.

Surveys aligned to HSG264. Lab analysis arranged through UKAS 17025 accredited partners.

Refurbishment work in Ashford housing

Extensions, loft conversions, rewires and kitchen or bathroom strip-outs all disturb fabric that may be in scope. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive and should be scoped to the works — a single-room strip-out does not need the whole property opened up.

Textured ceiling coatings in 1960s–1980s Ashford housing are the single most common query we take. Where only that material is in question, sampling is the proportionate step rather than a full survey.

Commercial and distribution premises

Warehouse and trade units around Sevington, Orbital Park and the Ashford Business Park frequently retain cement roof sheets, gutter linings and partition panels. Where a unit is being re-clad or fitted out, the survey needs to reach roof voids, services and plant enclosures.

For premises staying in use, a management survey supports the duty to manage under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and produces a register contractors can be shown before they start.

Ashford FAQs

Questions Ashford clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Ashford?

Indicative guide prices are £160 + VAT for a flat communal-area management survey (up to 3 floors), £200 + VAT for a flat management survey (up to 3 bedrooms) and £250 + VAT for a house management survey (up to 4 bedrooms). Refurbishment surveys are £300 + VAT for a flat and £400 + VAT for a house. Larger houses, commercial premises and multi-property instructions are priced after a short scoping call. Prices are indicative and confirmed in writing before anything is booked.

How much is asbestos testing in Ashford, Kent?

Targeted sampling is £60 + VAT for the first sample and £30 + VAT for each additional sample taken during the same visit. Sampling is collection of specific materials only — it is not a full survey, and the rest of the property is not inspected. If building work is planned, a refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to those works is the right instruction.

Who analyses the samples?

Samples are analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. Elements Surveying Group is an independent surveying consultancy — we do not operate the laboratory ourselves, and we do not sell asbestos removal, so nothing in a report is written to win removal work.

Can you attend without me being there?

Yes. Where it is arranged beforehand, our surveyor can collect keys from an estate or letting agent, carry out the survey and return them afterwards, so you do not have to attend. Key-safe access can also be accommodated. Weekday and Saturday appointments are available subject to surveyor schedules.

How quickly is the report issued?

Reports are normally issued within 48–72 hours of the survey, once laboratory analysis is complete. If your deadline is tighter than that, say so at quotation stage and we will tell you honestly whether it can be met.
