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 Sudbury clients choose us
Sudbury pairs a historic core of timber-framed and Georgian buildings with substantial post-war expansion at Great Cornard and Chilton, plus former silk-weaving and light-industrial premises. The historic buildings predate asbestos, so the risk sits in later alterations — 1960s–80s extensions, replacement roofs, boxed-in services and boiler enclosures.

CO10
Renovation of a period property almost always involves stripping out twentieth-century work — a 1970s kitchen, a boarded-over fireplace, a flat-roof extension, boxing around pipework. Those are precisely the elements that may contain asbestos, and they are usually the first things a builder removes.
A refurbishment survey scoped to the parts being opened up gives the contractor what they need without disturbing the historic fabric unnecessarily.
Great Cornard and Chilton contain extensive post-war housing where textured coatings, insulating board and thermoplastic floor tiles are common. The Chilton industrial area adds mid-century commercial units with cement roofing and cladding.
For occupied commercial premises, a management survey with a register and written plan meets the duty to manage; re-cladding or strip-out needs a refurbishment and demolition survey instead.

Yes — bulk sampling of one or two suspect materials is a common and considerably cheaper instruction where you only need a specific answer.

The report records the material, its type, its condition and the risk, and sets out proportionate options. In many cases a material in sound condition is best left in place, recorded and checked periodically. We do not carry out removal.
