Asbestos was a popular building material for decades due to its durability and fire-resistant qualities. Many homes and commercial properties in Dorking still have floor tiles, linoleum, or vinyl sheets that contain asbestos fibres, particularly those installed between the 1950s and late 1980s. These materials are generally safe when undisturbed and in good condition. However, if they crack, crumble, or are cut, drilled, or sanded during DIY or renovation work, dangerous asbestos fibres can be released into the air. Our expert team can help you detect these hidden risks and plan for their safe removal, protecting your family's or employees' health.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you’re opting for a systematic and safe approach to removing asbestos floor tiles. First, we carry out a thorough inspection, often involving taking a small, safe sample for UKAS-accredited laboratory testing if the presence of asbestos isn't already confirmed. Once we confirm asbestos, our highly trained team sets up a controlled work area. This involves sealing off the room to prevent fibre spread, using specialist air filtration, and carefully removing the tiles and any adhesive backing. We strictly adhere to HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 for every step, minimising risk and maintaining site safety.
