Asbestos Bitumen Adhesive Removal in Coalville, Leicestershire

It’s a common scenario: you’re excited about a new carpet or LVT flooring, but the moment the old tiles come up, you're faced with a sticky, black mess. This bitumen was once the industry standard for sticking down vinyl or parquet, but because it contains asbestos fibres, it can't be treated like regular DIY waste. The risk isn't necessarily when the glue is just sitting there; the danger starts when you try to remove it.Have you thought about what happens if you try to sand or grind that glue down? Doing so can lead to a fibre release, where microscopic asbestos dust becomes airborne and is easily inhaled. This is exactly what we work to prevent. By using wetting agents and fibre-trapping techniques, we manage the risk so you don't have to worry about the health implications like asbestosis or mesothelioma. We treat your Coalville property with the same care we’d treat our own homes.

When we arrive at your property, we don't just jump in. We follow a strict safety protocol aligned with HSE guidelines. Our process involves the use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and high-grade PPE, ensuring that every bit of dust is contained. We use specialized scraping methods or dust-controlled equipment to lift the bitumen from the concrete or screed subfloor without contaminating the rest of your house.Initial Assessment: We check the condition of the adhesive and the surrounding materials.Fibre Suppression: We apply liquids to keep the material damp, preventing dust from ever entering the air.Deep Cleaning: After the bulk removal, we perform a thorough wipe-down using fibre-trapping wipes.Final Clearance: We ensure the area is clean, clear, and safe for other trades to enter and lay your new flooring.
