Asbestos was once a popular addition to floor tiles and their backing due to its durability and fire-resistant properties. You might find it in vinyl floor tiles, thermoplastic tiles, or the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them down. These materials are generally considered "non-licensed" asbestos, but they still pose a serious health risk if disturbed. If they're crumbling, broken, or you're planning any renovation work, fibres can be released into the air. We can help you detect these materials and understand the next steps, putting your safety first.

Attempting to remove asbestos floor tiles yourself can be incredibly dangerous. Without the correct training, specialist equipment, and strict safety guidelines, you risk releasing harmful asbestos fibres. These fibres, if inhaled, can lead to severe lung diseases years later. Our highly trained team understands these risks completely. We work to stringent HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) to ensure every job is carried out safely. Choosing Southern Asbestos means protecting your family, your employees, and your property from unseen dangers.

When you choose Southern Asbestos, you're choosing a meticulous and safe process from start to finish. First, we carefully assess the area, contain the work zone to prevent any fibre spread, and prepare the site. Our team, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), then safely removes the asbestos-containing floor tiles and any contaminated adhesive. We use specialised techniques to minimise dust and fibre release at every step. This controlled approach ensures that when we leave, your Woking property is clean, safe, and free from asbestos floor tile contamination.
