Asbestos was a very popular additive in many building materials, including floor tiles and their adhesives, right up until its ban in 1999. If your property in Welwyn Garden City was built or refurbished before 2000, there's a good chance it could contain asbestos in its flooring. Asbestos floor tiles often appear dark in colour, sometimes with a 'bituminous' (tar-like) backing. They are usually found in 9x9 inch or 12x12 inch squares. The most critical thing to remember is: never try to remove or disturb these tiles yourself if you suspect they contain asbestos. Disturbing them can release dangerous fibres. If you're unsure, our team can quickly and safely take a sample for testing.

Our core service involves the safe and thorough removal of non-licensed asbestos floor tiles from all kinds of properties. We prioritise your safety and the safety of our team every step of the way. Our process starts with carefully setting up a controlled work area, containing any potential fibre release. Our trained technicians use specialised equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) to carefully detach and remove the tiles and any associated adhesive. We meticulously clean the area using HEPA-filtered vacuums before thoroughly double-bagging and sealing all asbestos waste. We make sure your property is left clean, clear, and safe once we finish.
