Do old floor tiles contain asbestos?
Some older vinyl floor tiles, backing materials and bitumen adhesives can contain asbestos. Sampling is needed when the material has not already been identified.
Can you remove asbestos floor tiles before new flooring?
Yes. We take removal enquiries before refurbishments and new floor installation. Tell us the rooms, floor area and what finish is planned afterwards.
Do you remove the black adhesive under asbestos tiles?
Where a survey identifies asbestos in bitumen adhesive or another residue, the required removal or management method depends on the condition, surface and planned work.
What do you need to quote asbestos floor removal?
Send the postcode, approximate square metres, clear photographs and the full survey or sample result if available.
Can asbestos floor tiles be hidden under carpet or laminate?
Yes. HSE guidance notes that old asbestos floor tiles can be hidden beneath carpets, and older flooring can also include asbestos paper backing or asbestos-containing mastic.
Does asbestos floor tile removal require a licensed contractor?
Manual removal of intact asbestos floor tiles and mastic can often be non-licensed work by trained workers. Paper-backed flooring, significant break-up or grinding can require a higher-control route.
Can you remove asbestos tiles from several rooms?
Yes. Mark the affected rooms on a plan if possible and send the approximate square metres, access details and the finish planned after removal.
