Asbestos Bitumen Adhesive Removal in Bingham, Nottinghamshire

Most homeowners we speak to in Nottinghamshire are surprised to learn that asbestos wasn't just used in roof sheets or insulation. It was also a very popular additive in floor adhesives because of its durability and moisture resistance. This 'bonded asbestos' is relatively safe if it remains undisturbed, but it becomes a significant health hazard during DIY projects. If you've uncovered black bitumen, the biggest mistake you can make is trying to remove it yourself with a standard scraper or, worse, a floor sander. This creates clouds of dust that are impossible to clean up with a household vacuum. We've seen many people start a project only to stop in a panic when they realise what they're dealing with. It's always better to be safe than sorry—if you see black adhesive, give us a call before you go any further.

When we come into your home or business to handle asbestos bitumen, we don't just 'scrape and go.' We follow a meticulous process aligned with strict HSE guidelines to ensure your property remains a safe environment. First, we use professional wetting agents to keep the material damp, which significantly reduces the risk of fibre release. We then carefully strip the material using specialist techniques. In cases where the residue is particularly stubborn, we use dust-controlled PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) grinding equipment specifically designed for hazardous adhesive removal. Throughout the job, our operative wears high-grade RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) and full PPE. Once the adhesive is gone, we perform a detailed site clean-up using fibre-trapping wipes and specialist vacuums, leaving your concrete floor screed clean, clear, and ready for your flooring contractors to take over.
