How asbestos removal works in Ansty
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Ansty: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. We often deal with water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people generally contact us about old flues and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In a village like Ansty, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Ansty
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For rentals close to Haywards Heath station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Common questions in Ansty
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Haywards Heath station?
Yes. Haywards Heath station is about 2.6 miles east of Ansty, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Ansty?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What affects the price in Ansty

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
