Our Services

The Summit Mantra

What

Reduce risks to life, improve the built environment and protect the natural world.

Why

We do it right… because it matters.

How

We provide solutions that solve our clients’ problems.

What do we do?

We are a consultancy specialising in surveys for hazardous materials such as asbestos, anthrax and lead, fire risk assessments water testing and water risk assessments.

How did we come up with our company name?

Our managing director Mark Elwell has a background of environmental studies and ecology with hobbies of rock climbing and the name that combined the two, just stuck. To summit implies the topmost level attainable, which is what we aim to achieve for all our customers.

When was the company started and why?

August 2018. A company Mark was working for was bought out, therefore the future of the company looked to be at risk. Having worked for several companies previously and working all over the country at the drop of a hat, with the birth of my daughter, I wanted more autonomy and flexibility in my working life. We wanted to decide on what we did and how we did it and clients we wanted to work with. So Summit was created.

What makes us different?

Anyone managing or buying and selling commercial or residential premises will need an asbestos survey, fire risk assessment and legionella testing. We are a one stop shop for our clients giving time and cost savings sending one consultant rather than using four different companies.

What has been your best or favourite job/project to date?

So many to mention from a one bed flat that needs asbestos testing, all the way to a theatre or large school, an oil rig or marine vessel, where we complete inventories of hazardous materials, we love them all.

No two jobs are the same, we love to assist clients with compliance. One of our specialities is identifying and managing hazardous materials when buying and selling properties and when planning refurbishment works. Several clients have us on speed dial.
