Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in Hertfordshire — 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 Hertfordshire clients choose us

Consultancy-grade asbestos surveys for Hertfordshire.

Hertfordshire's new towns and garden cities produced enormous volumes of housing and civic building between the late 1940s and the 1970s, alongside older market-town centres and a heavy concentration of commercial and business-park stock along the A1(M) and M25. New-town housing is a reliable source of textured coatings, insulating board and floor tiles; the commercial stock adds cement cladding, board linings and pipe insulation.

Surveys aligned to HSG264. Lab analysis arranged through UKAS 17025 accredited partners.

New town and garden city housing

Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead expanded rapidly through the peak asbestos period. In housing of that age the recurring materials are ceiling and wall coatings, board panels around heating and services, thermoplastic floor tiles with bitumen adhesive, and cement roofing to garages and stores.

Where a landlord or housing provider holds many similar units, surveying in batches produces consistent registers and lower unit costs than one-off instructions.

Business parks and commercial premises

Commercial buildings along the A1(M), M25 and M1 corridors are largely 1960s–90s. Refurbishment and fit-out is the dominant activity, which means refurbishment and demolition surveys covering ceiling voids, risers, floor finishes, partitions and plant.

For occupied premises with no works planned, a management survey plus register and written plan meets the duty to manage under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Hertfordshire FAQs

Questions Hertfordshire clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Hertfordshire?

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.

Which parts of Hertfordshire are quickest for you to reach?

Bishop's Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Ware, Hertford and Hoddesdon, because they sit just over the Essex border. Watford, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead are covered by arrangement rather than same-week.

Do you have a Hertfordshire office?

No. We work from a single operational base in Colchester and travel to instructions. We do not list addresses we do not occupy.

Which survey does a commercial fit-out need?

A refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to the works — covering ceiling voids, risers, partitions, floor finishes and any plant being removed. A management survey does not satisfy this.

Who analyses the samples?

Samples are analysed by an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory. Elements Surveying Group is an independent surveying consultancy — we are not a UKAS-accredited laboratory ourselves, and we do not carry out asbestos removal, so nothing in a report is written to win removal work.
