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 Hockley clients choose us
Hockley and the neighbouring villages are largely made up of inter-war and post-war houses, chalet bungalows and bungalows, many extended over the years, with a small high street and local parades. Homes of this age frequently contain asbestos cement soffits and garage roofs, textured ceilings and insulating board.

Most enquiries come from homeowners planning a loft conversion, dormer, extension or new kitchen in a bungalow or chalet built before 2000, and from builders who need a refurbishment survey before starting.
Buyers also ask us to check properties before exchange, and local businesses use management surveys to meet the duty to manage in shops and small commercial units.
Management asbestos surveys — for high street shops, small commercial units 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 chalet and bungalow loft conversions, dormers, extensions and kitchen or bathroom works. 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.

Hockley 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 Hockley 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.
If the property was built before 2000, a refurbishment survey of the roof, loft and areas affected by the works should be carried out so your builder knows what is present before work starts.
