Asbestos was a popular material in building products for decades due to its durability and fire resistance. This often included floor coverings such as vinyl tiles, linoleum, and the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them. If your property dates back to before 2000, there's a significant chance these materials could contain asbestos. While stable when undisturbed, any work like lifting, scraping, or breaking these tiles can release dangerous fibres into the air, creating a serious health hazard. It's crucial to detect and handle these materials with the utmost care to minimise any risk.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you’re getting a tried and tested approach to safe asbestos removal. Our highly trained team follows strict HSE guidelines from start to finish. We begin by containing the work area, using specialist equipment to prevent the spread of any fibres. We then carefully remove the asbestos floor tiles and adhesive, ensuring no dangerous dust is created. All waste is double-bagged and sealed, then transported using a licensed waste carrier to an authorised disposal facility. We leave your Godalming property with a clear, clean area, ready for your new flooring.

Attempting to remove asbestos floor tiles yourself can be incredibly dangerous and is not recommended. Without the correct personal protective equipment (PPE), respiratory protective equipment (RPE), and specialist training, you risk exposing yourself, your family, or your employees to harmful asbestos fibres. Our expert team has years of experience in safely removing these materials, giving you complete peace of mind. We understand the specific nuances of removing asbestos from residential and commercial properties, making sure the work is done efficiently and safely.
