OUR PHILOSOPHY

Your Trusted Local Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Esher, Surrey

If your home or commercial building was constructed before 2000, there's a good chance these potentially hazardous materials could be present. Disturbing them without proper care releases dangerous fibres into the air, posing serious health risks. At Southern Asbestos, we specialise in the safe and compliant removal of asbestos floor tiles and their adhesives across Esher and the surrounding Surrey areas. Our expert, fully trained team provides a professional, discreet, and highly efficient service, ensuring your property is safe and ready for its next phase.

Discovering asbestos floor tiles doesn't have to be a nightmare. Our skilled team follows a strict, proven process to safely remove these materials from your property.

  1. Initial Assessment: We start by assessing the type and condition of your suspected asbestos floor tiles. If testing is needed to confirm the presence of asbestos, we can arrange this quickly and safely.
  2. Controlled Containment: We set up a designated work area, isolating it to prevent any fibre spread. This involves sealing off doorways, windows, and ventilation systems.
  3. Careful Removal: Our trained technicians, wearing specialist personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), meticulously remove the floor tiles and any underlying asbestos-containing adhesive. We use controlled methods to minimise disturbance.
  4. Thorough Cleaning: After removal, we meticulously clean the area using specialist HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners to capture any airborne fibres, leaving the surface safe and clean.
  5. Secure Disposal: All removed asbestos materials are double-bagged, sealed, and clearly labelled. We then transport them using our licensed service to a hazardous waste facility, providing you with all the necessary paperwork.

Sometimes, suspected asbestos floor tiles are just one part of the picture. If you're unsure if other materials in your Esher property might contain asbestos, a survey can give you clarity and protection.

  • Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a property in Esher? An essential check identifies potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks before you commit.
  • Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own a non-domestic property in Esher (like an office or shop), these surveys are a legal requirement. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report to help you manage them safely.
  • Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning renovations or demolition in Esher? An intrusive survey is legally required before any major work begins, ensuring all asbestos is detected and safely removed beforehand.
    For definitive answers about any suspect materials, our team can take samples for UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis. This confirms if asbestos is present in materials like textured coatings (Artex), cement sheets, or insulation.

Understanding Asbestos in Flooring: What to Look Out For

Asbestos was a popular additive in many building materials due to its fire resistance and strength. For flooring, it was commonly used in:

  • Vinyl Floor Tiles: Often 9x9 inch or 12x12 inch squares, these can contain asbestos fibres directly within the tile itself. They come in various colours and patterns.
  • Sheet Vinyl/Linoleum: Older forms of sheet flooring often had an asbestos-containing backing paper or felt.
  • Bituminous Adhesive (Black Mastic): The black, tar-like adhesive used to stick down old floor tiles frequently contains asbestos. Even if the tiles themselves are asbestos-free, the adhesive might not be.
    If your property was built or refurbished before the year 2000, there's a chance your flooring materials could contain asbestos. It's impossible to tell just by looking, so if you suspect it, do not disturb it. Contact our team in Esher for expert advice.

Used Southern Asbestos to remove old Artex ceilings from our home in Maidenhead before a big renovation. The team was punctual, tidy, and took every precaution to ensure the area was safe. They left the site spotless. A very professional and trustworthy company.
