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 Whitstable clients choose us
Whitstable has a tight historic core of fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces around the harbour and High Street, Edwardian and inter-war houses in Tankerton, and large areas of mid-century housing and bungalows towards Seasalter and Chestfield. Many of these homes are being extended or renovated, and harbour-side sheds and workshops often carry cement roofing.
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 and buyers commonly ask us to check cottages, terraces and bungalows before renovation — textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits, garage roofs and old boiler cupboards are the usual suspects in housing of this age.
Harbour and High Street businesses use management surveys to meet the duty to manage in shops, restaurants and workshops, and contractors need refurbishment surveys before refits and conversions of older commercial buildings.
Management asbestos surveys — for High Street shops, restaurants, harbour workshops 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 cottage and bungalow renovations, loft conversions, extensions and commercial refits. 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.

Whitstable 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 Whitstable 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.
If the work will disturb the building fabric, a refurbishment survey of the areas affected is the right instruction. Older cottages are often altered over the twentieth century, which is when asbestos products were typically introduced.
