Independent asbestos surveying and testing — no asbestos removal sales

We survey and advise in Braintree — 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 Braintree clients choose us

Independent asbestos surveys for Braintree.

Braintree combines Victorian terraces from the Courtaulds era, extensive inter-war and post-war housing across Bocking and the Great Notley expansion, and a large stock of light-industrial and warehouse units on Springwood and Skyline 120. Industrial units of this age commonly retain asbestos cement roof sheets and gutters, while the older housing tends to produce textured coatings, floor tiles and bitumen adhesive.

Industrial and commercial units

Warehouse and workshop units around Springwood Industrial Estate and the A120 corridor frequently have asbestos cement roof sheeting, rainwater goods and flue components. For an occupied unit, a management survey plus a written management plan is usually the proportionate route — the material is often in reasonable condition and safest left undisturbed and monitored.

If a unit is being stripped out, re-clad or demolished, a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed instead, and the scope should be agreed with whoever is designing the works.

Older village property

Property in Coggeshall, Earls Colne, Finchingfield and the Hedinghams often has later additions bolted onto much older buildings — a 1960s kitchen extension or a 1970s garage on a listed or period cottage. Those additions are where asbestos is normally found, not in the historic fabric.

For listed and period buildings we agree sampling locations and making-good in advance so that intrusive work is kept to the minimum needed.

Braintree FAQs

Questions Braintree clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Braintree?

Published Management Survey prices start at £225 + VAT for communal areas serving one or two floors, £250 + VAT for a studio or one-bedroom flat and £300 + VAT for a one- or two-bedroom house. Whole-property Refurbishment Survey prices start at £350 + VAT for a flat and £400 + VAT for a house. Larger properties, commercial premises and portfolios receive an individually fixed quotation before booking.

Can you survey a warehouse or industrial unit?

Yes. Commercial premises are priced on floor area, the number of rooms and services, and how intrusive the survey needs to be. Send the address and a rough floor area and we will come back with a fixed price.

Is my asbestos cement garage roof dangerous?

Asbestos cement is a lower-risk product when it is in good condition and left alone. The concern is breaking, cutting or drilling it. A surveyor can confirm the material and its condition and advise whether it is better managed in place.

Do you cover Witham and Kelvedon?

Yes. Witham, Kelvedon, Feering, Silver End and Cressing sit directly between our Colchester base and Braintree, so they are covered on the same routes.

How quickly can you attend?

Braintree district instructions are typically attended within a few working days of a confirmed quote. We give you a date when we quote rather than a blanket guarantee.
