Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Arnold, Nottinghamshire

Most homeowners we chat with in Nottinghamshire describe these as 'Marley tiles'. They're often small, square, and come in mottled colours like grey, green, or cream. However, the tiles are only half the story. That sticky, black glue used to bond them to the concrete—known as bitumen adhesive—frequently contains chrysotile asbestos fibres too. If you're planning on laying down new laminate, LVT, or carpet, you can't just scrape this black mastic away with a DIY tool. Doing so can release invisible fibres into the air that stay in your carpets and curtains for years. We've seen many refurbishment projects in Arnold ground to a halt because of these materials, but we're here to get things moving safely again.

We don't take risks with your health or ours. Our removal process follows strict HSE guidelines for non-licensable work, focusing on dust suppression and total containment. We use specialist wetting-down techniques to keep the tiles damp as they're lifted, which prevents fibres from becoming airborne. Any debris is immediately double-bagged and sealed in regulated asbestos waste sacks. Once the tiles and bitumen are gone, we don't just walk away. We use H-class HEPA vacuums and fibre-trapping wipes to clean the subfloor thoroughly. It's about more than just clearing a room; it's about leaving you with the peace of mind that your home is genuinely clean and ready for your new flooring to be installed.

As a sole trader based nearby in Bingham, I take a personal interest in every job I do across Arnold, Daybrook, and Woodthorpe.

We primarily serve a 50-mile radius of NG13, but we're more than happy to discuss larger projects across the UK.
