Many people don't realise that common building materials like floor tiles were often made with asbestos. This was particularly true for vinyl or thermoplastic tiles, and especially the black bitumen adhesive used to stick them down. If these materials are in good condition and undisturbed, they generally don't pose a problem. However, if they're chipped, cracked, or you plan to remove them for a renovation, that's when the risk starts. Our trained team can safely take a sample of your suspected floor tiles or adhesive and send it to a UKAS-accredited lab. This helps us detect if asbestos is present, giving you a definitive answer and peace of mind before any work begins on your property.

Our core service involves the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos materials, with a strong focus on floor tiles. We understand that you need this process to be efficient, thorough, and, most importantly, completely safe. Our experienced team follows strict guidelines to manage the risk. This means we carefully seal off the work area to contain any dust, remove the asbestos-containing tiles and adhesive with specialist equipment, and then meticulously clean the space using HEPA vacuum filters. Whether it's a small patch of tiles in a residential kitchen or a larger area in a commercial building, we handle every job with the utmost care, making sure your property is left clean and free from asbestos hazards.
