Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in Gravesend — 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.

Refurbishment and demolition work

Extensions, loft conversions, rewires and full strip-outs all disturb building fabric. A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive and should be scoped to the works — a single bathroom and kitchen strip-out does not need the whole house opened up, and the quote should say so.

Contractors will normally ask for the report and register before mobilising, so it is worth instructing the survey once the scope of works is settled rather than the week work is due to start.

Landlords, HMOs and letting agents

Communal areas of blocks and converted houses in multiple occupation are non-domestic premises for the purposes of the duty to manage. A management survey of the communal parts gives a register that can be reviewed, shared with contractors and re-inspected as needed.

Where a portfolio is spread across Gravesham and Medway, we scope the whole instruction once and survey in geographic batches so the register format stays consistent across every property.

Gravesend FAQs

Questions Gravesend clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Gravesend?

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 Gravesend?

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 do reports come back?

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