Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in Basildon — 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 Basildon clients choose us

Consultancy-grade asbestos surveys for Basildon.

Basildon was developed as a new town from 1949 onwards, which means an exceptional concentration of housing from the peak asbestos period. System-built and traditionally built homes from the 1950s to the 1970s commonly contain textured coatings, asbestos insulating board around services and in ceilings, thermoplastic floor tiles, and cement roofing to garages and outbuildings. The industrial estates at Cranes Farm, Burnt Mills and Pipps Hill add a large stock of cement-clad units.

New-town housing stock

If you own or manage former new-town housing in Basildon, Laindon or Pitsea, the recurring finds are ceiling and wall coatings, board panels behind and around heaters and meter cupboards, floor tiles under later coverings, and cement products externally. Where a landlord holds several similar properties, surveying them as a batch keeps costs down and produces a consistent register.

Void-property refurbishment before re-letting is the point at which asbestos is most often disturbed, so a refurbishment survey scoped to the planned works is the appropriate instruction, not a management survey.

Industrial and warehouse premises

Units on Cranes Farm Road, Burnt Mills and Pipps Hill typically date from the 1960s to the 1980s and frequently retain cement roof sheeting, cement gutters and downpipes, and board linings to offices and plant rooms.

For occupied premises the duty-holder needs a management survey, a register and a written management plan. If the unit is being re-clad, refitted or demolished, that becomes a refurbishment and demolition survey.

Basildon FAQs

Questions Basildon clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Basildon?

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.

I am a landlord with several properties — can you survey them together?

Yes. Multi-property instructions are scoped once and surveyed in batches, with a consistent register format across the portfolio. Send the addresses and we will price the whole instruction.

What does the duty to manage actually require?

For non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential blocks, the dutyholder must take reasonable steps to find out whether asbestos-containing materials are present, record their location and condition, assess the risk and put a written plan in place to manage it. A management survey is the usual way of gathering that information.

Do you survey commercial units in the industrial estates?

Yes — warehouse, workshop and trade-counter units across Cranes Farm, Burnt Mills and Pipps Hill are regular work. Pricing depends on floor area and how intrusive the survey needs to be.

Who analyses the samples?

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