Asbestos was a widely used material for decades due to its durability and fire-resistant properties. You might find it in vinyl, thermoplastic, or bitumen-backed floor tiles, as well as the black adhesive used beneath them. While intact, these materials pose a low risk. However, if they become damaged, cracked, or if you attempt to remove them without proper training and equipment, tiny asbestos fibres can be released into the air. Inhaling these fibres can lead to severe lung diseases, including mesothelioma, which is why professional asbestos removal is so critical. Identifying and safely removing these materials protects your health and the well-being of anyone who uses your property.

Removing asbestos floor tiles requires precision, expertise, and strict adherence to safety protocols. Our highly trained team follows a robust, multi-stage process to ensure every job is completed safely and effectively. First, we carry out a thorough assessment to confirm the presence and type of asbestos. We then establish a controlled work area, sealing it off to prevent any fibre spread. Using specialised equipment and techniques, we carefully remove the tiles and adhesive, often using wetting agents to minimise dust. Throughout the work, we conduct air monitoring and, once removal is complete, perform a meticulous clean-up, leaving your property safe and ready for new flooring. Every step complies with current HSE guidelines.

Attempting to remove asbestos floor tiles yourself can expose you, your family, or your employees to dangerous fibres, leading to significant long-term health problems. Without the right personal protective equipment (PPE), specialist respiratory protective equipment (RPE), and approved disposal methods, you risk contaminating your property and incurring hefty fines for illegal waste disposal. Our fully trained and certified team has years of experience in safely handling hazardous materials. We understand the complexities of working in diverse City of London properties, from residential flats to commercial offices, and possess the necessary waste carriers licence to ensure all asbestos waste is disposed of legally and responsibly at a licensed facility.
