Independent asbestos surveying — no removal sales

We survey and advise in South East England — 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 South East England clients choose us

Consultancy-grade asbestos surveys for South East England.

The South East holds an unusually broad mix of pre-2000 building stock: Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war and post-war council housing, 1960s–80s system-built flats, converted commercial premises and light-industrial units. Each generation used asbestos differently, so scoping the right survey matters more than applying a standard checklist.

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

Same-day quotes. Most South East England surveys booked within 48 hours; reports inside a week.

How the South East coverage actually works

Surveys are carried out by our own BOHS P402 qualified surveyors rather than subcontracted to whoever is nearest. Instructions in Essex and south Suffolk are usually attended within a couple of days; London, Kent, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire are scheduled around existing routes, which is why we confirm an attendance date at quotation stage rather than promising a blanket response time.

For portfolios spread across several counties — a managing agent with blocks in Chelmsford, Ipswich and east London, for example — we scope the whole instruction once, survey in geographic batches and issue a consistent register format across every property.

Which survey applies to your property

A management survey records the asbestos-containing materials that are reasonably accessible in a building in normal occupation, and supports the duty to manage asbestos in non-domestic premises under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

A refurbishment and demolition survey is intrusive and is scoped to the works being planned — it should cover everything the contractor will disturb, whether that is a single bathroom or a full strip-out. If you only need one or two suspect materials identified, bulk sampling is usually the quickest and cheapest route.

South East England FAQs

Questions South East England clients ask us most.

Which areas of the South East do you cover?

Essex and Suffolk are our core operating area, with regular work throughout London, Kent, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, and attendance in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex where the journey is practical. If you are unsure, send the postcode and we will confirm before quoting.

How much does an asbestos survey cost?

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.

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.

Do you have offices in every county you cover?

No. We work from a single operational base in Colchester and travel out to instructions. We would rather be straightforward about that than list addresses we do not occupy.

Can you survey properties in London as well as Essex?

Yes — London remains one of our busiest markets, particularly refurbishment surveys before flat and office fit-outs, and management surveys of communal areas for block managers. See the London page for borough-level detail.
