Many properties built or refurbished between the 1950s and late 1990s used asbestos in floor tiles. These were often made from vinyl, thermoplastic, or bitumen, and even in the adhesives used to lay them. These sturdy, sometimes decorative, tiles might seem harmless. However, if they become damaged, cracked, or if you're planning renovations that involve lifting them, invisible asbestos fibres can be released into the air. This poses a serious health risk. Identifying and dealing with these materials correctly is crucial for your safety and compliance with UK guidelines.
