What affects the price
Property size & type
A one-bed flat is quick; a large commercial building or HMO with many rooms, voids and risers takes longer and costs more.
Survey type
A management survey is non-intrusive and cheaper; a refurbishment & demolition survey opens up the fabric and takes more time.
Number of samples
Each suspect material sampled is analysed by a UKAS lab. More materials means more analysis.
Turnaround
Standard results come in ~48 hours; same-day analysis is available for urgent sales or projects at a premium.
