Many properties built or refurbished before the turn of the millennium used asbestos in various building materials, including floor tiles and their backing. These tiles, often vinyl or thermoplastic, typically contain a small percentage of chrysotile (white asbestos). While stable when undisturbed, any damage, wear, or attempts to remove them without proper care can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air. This poses a serious health risk to anyone in the property. Whether you're planning a renovation or just noticed some broken tiles, it’s crucial to treat them with caution and get professional help. Don't take chances with your health or the safety of others; detecting and safely removing these materials is our priority.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you're picking a team committed to your safety. We follow strict HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) for every single job. Our process for removing asbestos floor tiles involves:

• Careful Assessment: We start with a thorough check to confirm the presence of asbestos and plan the safest removal strategy for your specific property.
• Containment: We isolate the work area using specialist barriers and air management techniques to stop any fibres from spreading to other parts of your home or business.
• Safe Removal: Our highly trained technicians use specialised tools and techniques to remove the tiles with minimal disturbance, ensuring fibres stay contained. We work methodically and safely.
• Thorough Clean-up: After removal, we meticulously clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuums, making sure no dangerous dust or debris remains.
• Legal Disposal: All asbestos waste goes into clearly marked, sealed bags and containers. We then transport it to a licensed hazardous waste facility, providing you with all the required legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note).
