small commercial unit, excluding VAT · One published price list, read 23 August 2026. Larger commercial premises are quoted at £340 to £995+ per day. The provider describes its own figures as budgeting guides rather than quotations, which is the right way to read them.

One UK surveyor publishes £290 to £650 excluding VAT for a small commercial unit, and £340 to £995 or more per day for larger commercial premises. By survey type the same list gives £180 to £480+ for a management survey, from £280 for a refurbishment survey and from £320 for a demolition survey. That firm calls its own figures budgeting guides rather than quotations, which is the honest description of any published asbestos price: the work is costed by time on site and the number of samples, so nobody can price it properly without knowing the building. When you compare quotes, the number that matters is how many samples each one includes. That is the variable a cheaper quote is usually moving.
