R&D survey quoteIndependent asbestos surveying and testing — no asbestos removal sales
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 workWhy Halstead clients choose us
Halstead is a Colne Valley market town with a historic High Street, Victorian terraces associated with its textile-mill past, twentieth-century estates and a rural surround of farms and villages. Former industrial buildings, converted mills and agricultural sheds can all contain asbestos, as can the mid-century housing that is now being modernised.
Surveys aligned to HSG264 by BOHS P402 qualified surveyors. Samples analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025. Fixed Prices. No Surprises.
Fixed-price quotes. Contact us to discuss availability; reports typically inside a week.

Homeowners and buyers instruct surveys before renovating Victorian terraces and mid-century homes, and landlords of High Street flats need registers for shared areas.
Owners of former industrial and agricultural buildings in the Colne Valley instruct refurbishment and demolition surveys before conversion or removal, where asbestos cement roofing and cladding are common.
Management asbestos surveys — for High Street shops, offices, workshops and the communal areas of flats. The survey follows HSG264 and produces an asbestos register with material and priority risk scores.
Refurbishment and demolition (R&D) surveys — before conversions of old industrial and farm buildings, extensions and house refurbishments. The survey is intrusive within the agreed scope, so the contractor can price and plan the work safely.
Asbestos testing and bulk sampling — where only one or two materials are in question, a BOHS P402 qualified surveyor collects samples under controlled conditions and they are analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Re-inspections keep an existing register current, recording any change in condition and the recommended actions.

Halstead FAQs
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.
Targeted sampling is £85 + VAT for the first sample and £30 + VAT for each additional sample taken during the same visit. Sampling covers specific materials only — it is not a full survey. If building work is planned, a refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to those works is the correct instruction.
Samples are analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025. Elements Surveying Group is an independent surveying consultancy — we do not operate the laboratory, and we do not sell asbestos removal, so nothing in a report is written to win removal work.
Reports are typically issued within 48–72 hours of the survey visit, once laboratory analysis is complete.
No. Elements is based in London and our surveyors travel to Halstead for each booking. Surveys are scheduled centrally and quoted at a fixed price before we attend.
No. Elements Surveying Group carries out asbestos surveying, re-inspection and bulk 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 under a register.
Yes. Before conversion or demolition, a refurbishment and demolition survey identifies asbestos cement roofing, cladding and other materials so the work can be planned safely.
