Many homes in Houghton Regis built or refurbished before the year 2000 often contain asbestos in floor tiles and their adhesive. Builders widely used these materials for their durability and fire-resistant properties. You might find them in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and utility areas. While undisturbed, intact tiles usually pose a low risk. However, if they become damaged, cracked, or if you plan any renovation work that involves disturbing them, this can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. Breathing in these fibres presents a serious health risk. We help you detect and safely remove these materials, protecting your family’s health.

If you have found floor tiles you suspect might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to disturb them. Our team can come to your Houghton Regis property to safely take a small sample. We then send this sample to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate analysis. You will get a definitive result and a certificate, confirming whether asbestos is present. We regularly test materials like vinyl floor tiles, thermoplastic tiles, and the black bitumen adhesive often used with them. Getting a professional test is the only sure way to know if you need asbestos removal.

Safely removing asbestos floor tiles requires careful planning and execution. Our fully trained and experienced team follows strict HSE guidelines for every job. We begin by isolating and sealing off the work area to prevent any fibre release. Using specialist equipment and controlled techniques, we meticulously remove the asbestos-containing floor tiles and any associated adhesive. Our process minimises disruption while keeping your property and everyone in it safe. Once we complete the removal, we carry out a thorough clean, making sure the area is completely clear of hazardous materials.
