Independent asbestos surveying and testing — no asbestos removal sales

We survey and advise in Dartford — 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.

Commercial and industrial work in Dartford

Warehouse and trade-counter units along Crossways, Bob Dunn Way and the A206 corridor are a regular source of refurbishment surveys. Where a unit is being re-clad, re-roofed or fitted out, the survey needs to cover roof sheets, gutter linings, partition panels, floor finishes and any plant enclosures rather than just the occupied floor area.

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

Homeowners and buyers in Dartford

Building surveys and homebuyer reports frequently note "possible asbestos-containing materials" without confirming anything, because a general surveyor does not sample. Targeted sampling of the specific materials named in the report is usually all that is needed, and laboratory analysis is typically 24–48 hours after sample receipt.

If you are extending, rewiring or replacing a kitchen in a pre-2000 house, a refurbishment survey scoped to those works is normally more useful — and cheaper — than surveying the whole property.

Dartford FAQs

Questions Dartford clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Dartford?

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.

How much is asbestos testing in Dartford?

Targeted sampling is £85 + VAT for one sample, £115 for two, £145 for three, £175 for four, £205 for five and £235 for six; each further sample during the same attendance is £30 + VAT. 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 a 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 collect keys from the estate agent?

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.

Do you sell asbestos removal?

No. Elements Surveying Group carries out asbestos surveying, inspection and sampling only. Because we do not sell removal, our reports set out what is present, its condition and the proportionate options — including leaving material in place and managing it.
