R&D survey quoteIndependent asbestos surveying — no 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 Tunbridge Wells clients choose us
West Kent has a high proportion of substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses that have been repeatedly extended and modernised, plus 1930s and post-war suburbs at Sherwood, Showfields and Hawkenbury. It is the mid-century modernisation layers — boiler cupboards, ceilings, floor finishes and garages — that produce most positive results.
Surveys aligned to HSG264. Lab analysis arranged through UKAS 17025 accredited partners.
Fixed-price quotes. Contact us to discuss availability; reports typically inside a week.

Coverage

A building survey will often flag suspect materials without identifying them, because a general surveyor does not sample. Targeted sampling before exchange gives a definite answer on the specific materials named, and results normally come back within a few working days.
This does not mean every pre-2000 property contains asbestos. It means the question can be answered properly before you commit, rather than being discovered mid-renovation.
West Kent renovation projects are typically large: knock-throughs, loft conversions, rewires and full replacement of kitchens and bathrooms. A refurbishment and demolition survey scoped to the works covers what the builder will actually disturb, and gives them the register they will ask for before starting.
Where only one or two materials are in question — an Artex ceiling, a garage roof, a boiler flue — sampling is faster and cheaper than a full survey.

Tunbridge Wells FAQs
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.
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.
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.
