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 West Mersea clients choose us
West Mersea combines an older waterfront with fishing and boatyard premises, a large stock of twentieth-century bungalows and houses, and holiday parks with chalets and site buildings across the island. Bungalows and older chalets commonly contain asbestos cement and insulating board, particularly when they are replaced or renovated.
Surveys aligned to HSG264 by BOHS P402 qualified surveyors. Samples analysed in a UKAS-accredited laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025. Fixed Prices. No Surprises.
Fixed-price quotes. Contact us to discuss availability; reports typically inside a week.

Homeowners renovating or replacing bungalows instruct refurbishment and demolition surveys, and holiday-park operators instruct surveys before chalets and site buildings are replaced.
Waterfront businesses and boatyards use management surveys for workshops and stores, and refurbishment surveys before re-roofing or redevelopment.
Management asbestos surveys — for holiday-park buildings, boatyards, shops 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 bungalow renovation or replacement, chalet removal, re-roofing and redevelopment. 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.

West Mersea 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 West Mersea 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.
Yes, where the chalets were built before 2000. A demolition survey identifies asbestos cement, insulating board and other materials before removal so the work can be planned and priced properly.
