Old floor tiles are one of the most common places we detect asbestos in homes and commercial buildings. Often, they look like standard vinyl or thermoplastic tiles, but they were a popular choice for their durability and fire-resistant properties decades ago. The danger comes if these materials are disturbed, for example, during renovation work, as this can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. Breathing these fibres in can lead to serious health issues over time. If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, there's a good chance your old floor tiles could contain asbestos. We strongly advise against trying to remove them yourself. The only way to be 100% sure is to have a sample tested by a UKAS-accredited laboratory, which we can arrange for you quickly and safely.
Our core service revolves around the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos materials, including those pesky floor tiles, from all types of properties. Our trained team follows strict, proven procedures to minimise any risk. First, we carefully prepare and contain the work area to stop any fibres from spreading. We use specialised equipment and negative pressure units where needed, making sure the air stays clean. Then, using appropriate techniques, we carefully remove the asbestos floor tiles and any associated adhesive. Once everything is removed, we conduct a thorough clean-up and air monitoring if necessary, leaving your property clean and safe. We manage the entire process for you, from initial inspection right through to the safe disposal of all asbestos waste. We also provide all the necessary legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note) for your records, confirming proper disposal at a licensed hazardous waste facility.
Beyond Floor Tiles: Other Asbestos Services for Chigwell Homes
While we specialise in asbestos floor tile removal for Chigwell properties, we offer a full range of services to manage asbestos in your home or business. If you've found a material you suspect contains asbestos, please do not disturb it; our team can safely take a sample for laboratory analysis. We often test materials such as textured coatings (Artex), asbestos cement sheets (found on garage roofs or wall panels), and pipe insulation. If removal isn't the best option, we can also discuss asbestos encapsulation, which involves sealing or enclosing the material to prevent fibre release, a cost-effective management solution in some cases. After any removal work, we also offer reinstatement services, helping to get your space back to normal quickly and efficiently.
