Independent asbestos surveying and testing — no asbestos 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.

How we work

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?

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 Gravesend?

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 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.
