About our asbestos survey in Ansty
Buying an older property in Ansty? A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, so you can plan renovations with your eyes open. We often deal with boiler cupboard panels, flues and soffits, and people typically contact us about checks on rental property and the communal parts of blocks of flats.
In a village like Ansty, surveys often include barns, stables, garages and outbuildings as well as the house, since cement sheeting was common on outbuildings. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- The rooms in a refurbishment survey need to be cleared, so timing needs planning
- A management survey is only minimally intrusive, so it is not enough before refurbishment
- The report describes the building when surveyed; condition can change, so recheck it
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Ansty
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs

- Soffits and porch canopies
- Water tanks and flues

The process
A management survey involves minor intrusion: lifting ceiling tiles, opening service cupboards and taking small samples. Sample points are sealed afterwards. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Call or message us with the address and what’s prompting the survey
- We set out the survey type, the areas covered and the price in writing
- Our surveyor carries out the inspection and sampling
- Each sample is analysed by an accredited laboratory
- You receive the report, with results and what to do next
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken

What else we do in Ansty
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles and adhesive
Older floor tiles and the black glue under them may contain asbestos. They’re often hidden under newer flooring.
Textured coatings
Textured ceilings are sampled where they’re in scope, so you know before plastering or rewiring.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Ansty were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Afterwards
For duty holders, the survey feeds the asbestos register and management plan, which need reviewing regularly.
A few practical points:
- Share any previous surveys or drawings
- Survey first, then book the trades
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Make sure you can pass the report to your builder
Things not to do
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Please don’t break off pieces for us to look at: we take samples with wetting and sealing to limit any release.
Ansty: your questions answered
Do you cover Ansty from London?
Ansty is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Ansty?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does a survey leave holes?
Very little, in a management survey: small samples are taken and the points sealed. A refurbishment and demolition survey opens up the areas being worked on, by design.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Asbestos surveys in Ansty: local notes
Ansty is about 3 miles west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Ansty is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Ansty is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work. You can also see our page for Crawley, about 8 miles away.
Planning work on an older building in Ansty, whether near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts. Non-domestic buildings, Warden Park School among them, come under the duty to manage asbestos, and a management survey is usually where that starts. Parts of the South Downs National Park are within about 6 miles of Ansty, where farm buildings, barns and stables with cement roofs are common.
Anywhere in RH17, we can help with an asbestos survey. Local streets include Upton Drive, Bolney Road and Deaks Paddock; we cover every one. We also carry out surveys in Abbotsford (2 miles south-east), Goddards Green (2 miles south), Hickstead (2 miles south-west), Jacob's Post (3 miles south-east) and World's End (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Crawley (8 miles north), Horsham (8 miles north-west), Haywards Heath (3 miles east), East Grinstead (11 miles north-east), Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles south-west) and Lancing (13 miles south-west).

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it will not have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment usually needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
