Many types of floor tiles, particularly vinyl tiles, linoleum, and the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them, often contained asbestos. These materials were widely used for decades because they were durable and affordable. You can't tell if a tile contains asbestos just by looking at it. If your property is older, and you're planning any renovation work that might disturb the floor, it's wise to get an expert to check. We can take a small sample and have it analysed by a UKAS-accredited laboratory to give you a definitive answer, removing any guesswork about this potential health risk in your Marlow property.

Attempting to remove asbestos floor tiles yourself can be incredibly dangerous. When disturbed, asbestos fibres become airborne and, if inhaled, pose serious long-term health risks. Our highly trained team follows strict HSE guidelines and regulations (CAR 2012) for every removal job. We use specialised equipment, establish controlled work areas, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to stop the spread of fibres. Choosing a professional asbestos removal service protects not just you, but also your family, neighbours, and future occupants of your Marlow home. We manage the full process, so you don't have to take any risks.

When you call Southern Asbestos for floor tile removal in Marlow, here’s how we make sure the work is done safely and efficiently. First, we carry out a detailed inspection or use your existing survey results. If testing is needed, we handle that too. Once confirmed, our team sets up a contained work area, sealing off rooms to prevent any fibre release. We then carefully remove the asbestos-containing floor tiles and adhesive using methods that minimise dust. Every step is meticulously planned and executed, making sure the environment remains controlled throughout the removal process.
