Independent asbestos surveying and testing — no asbestos removal sales

We survey and advise in Brentwood — 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 Brentwood clients choose us

Independent asbestos surveys for Brentwood.

Brentwood has an unusually high rate of domestic remodelling: large inter-war and post-war houses in Shenfield, Hutton and Warley are routinely extended, re-roofed and reconfigured. That is exactly the activity that disturbs asbestos, and the materials most often encountered are textured coatings, insulating board in eaves and around boilers, floor tiles with bitumen adhesive, and cement soffits and garage roofs.

UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis

Surveys aligned to HSG264 by BOHS P402 qualified surveyors. Samples analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025. Fixed Prices. No Surprises.

Fast turnaround

Extensions, loft conversions and whole-house renovation

Where a house is being significantly remodelled, the survey scope should match the works. A loft conversion means the surveyor needs access into the roof space, eaves and around any old water tank; a rear extension means the external wall build-up, soffits and any garage being demolished. Scoping this properly avoids both under-surveying and paying for intrusion you do not need.

Building control and principal contractors on larger domestic projects will normally expect to see the refurbishment survey and register before work starts.

Commercial premises and managed blocks

Offices and retail units around Brentwood High Street, Hubert Road and the Warley business area are largely pre-2000 and fall under the duty to manage in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A management survey plus a written plan and a register is the normal starting point.

For managed residential blocks, the duty applies to the common parts — entrance halls, stairwells, service risers, bin stores and plant rooms — rather than the inside of individual leasehold flats.

Brentwood FAQs

Questions Brentwood clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Brentwood?

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.

Do I need a survey before a loft conversion?

If the property was built or refurbished before 2000, yes — a refurbishment survey covering the roof space, eaves, any old tank and the areas of ceiling being opened up. Insulating board and textured coatings are both common finds in that zone.

Is a survey needed for a private house?

The duty to manage asbestos in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 applies to non-domestic premises and the common parts of residential blocks, not the inside of a private home. However, if you are having work done that could disturb asbestos, identifying it first protects you and the people doing the work.

Can you attend a managed block for the communal areas only?

Yes. Communal-area Management Surveys are £225 + VAT for one or two floors, £250 for three, £300 for four and £350 for five; larger blocks receive an individually fixed quotation.

How soon can you get to Shenfield or Hutton?

Brentwood borough instructions are normally attended within a few working days of a confirmed quote, with the date agreed when we send the price.
