When dealing with something as sensitive as asbestos, you need a contractor who stands for safety, reliability, and transparency. Southern Asbestos is dedicated to providing just that for our Thame community. Our team holds full Public Liability Insurance, and every piece of work follows strict HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). We hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you know all asbestos waste gets handled and disposed of legally and responsibly. Our local Thame-based technicians are fully trained and have years of hands-on experience identifying, managing, and safely removing asbestos floor tiles from a wide variety of properties. We provide clear, detailed quotes with no hidden fees, so you always know what to expect.

Asbestos was a very popular material in construction, especially for flooring, right up until its ban. This means if your Thame property dates back to before the year 2000, there's a real chance it could contain asbestos in its flooring. Common places we detect it include old vinyl floor tiles (often 9x9 inch or 12x12 inch), linoleum, and the black bitumen adhesive that glues them down. While you might suspect it, you can't truly identify asbestos just by looking. If you find old, suspect flooring, the safest approach is to not disturb it. Our team can take a sample safely and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, providing you with a definitive result and certificate before any work begins.

Our core service is the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos floor tiles from all types of properties in Thame. Our trained team follows strict procedures to protect your property and everyone involved. First, we carefully prepare the work area, setting up clear exclusion zones and using specialist equipment to contain any potential dust. We then apply tried-and-tested techniques to remove the floor tiles and adhesive, minimising fibre release. All removed materials are double-bagged and sealed on-site. Once the asbestos is gone, we thoroughly clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaners, making sure your space is spotless and safe. This complete service covers everything from the initial inspection to the final clean.
