Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in Maidstone — 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.

Offices, blocks and the duty to manage

Non-domestic premises carry a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. For a Maidstone office floor or a block's communal areas, that normally means a management survey, a register, and a proportionate plan for the materials found — not automatic removal.

Where a building is being handed over between tenants, a survey and register issued before the fit-out saves the incoming contractor from stopping work when something unexpected is opened up.

Rural and village property

Outbuildings, garages, stables and agricultural buildings across the Maidstone villages very often have cement roof sheets and rainwater goods. In good condition these are usually low risk and can be left in place and managed; the report should say so rather than pushing straight to removal.

Where a barn or outbuilding is being converted, a refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to the conversion works is the right instruction.

Maidstone FAQs

Questions Maidstone clients ask us most.

How much does an asbestos survey cost in Maidstone?

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 Maidstone?

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 work around tenants and occupied offices?

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.

Does every homeowner need a management survey?

No. The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and to the common parts of residential blocks, not to an owner-occupied house. Homeowners usually need either targeted sampling of a specific material or a refurbishment survey before planned building work.
