Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire

Most homeowners focus on the tiles themselves, but the real 'hidden' risk is often what's underneath. That sticky, tar-like black glue used to bond the tiles to the subfloor is known as bitumen adhesive, and it almost always contains asbestos. Even if the tiles have already been removed, that black mastic can remain 'active' and dangerous if you try to sand it down or grind it off to level the floor. We specialise in the safe removal of both the asbestos-backed vinyl and the stubborn bitumen residue. Using professional-grade techniques, we ensure the adhesive is handled according to strict HSE guidelines, preventing the release of harmful dust during the process.

How do we actually get the job done safely? We don't just rip things up and hope for the best. Our process is meticulous because your safety—and ours—depends on it. We use specialised wetting-down methods and dust suppression techniques to keep any potential fibres 'locked' in place while we work. We also employ HEPA-filtered vacuuming and fibre-trapping wipes to ensure the area is decontaminated. Whether you're refurbishing a small kitchen in Earl Shilton or a large commercial space in Hinckley, we bring all the necessary PPE and RPE to manage the risk. It's about giving you the peace of mind that once we leave, your floor is ready for its new finish without any lingering threats.

What happens to the asbestos once it leaves your driveway? This is a question every homeowner should ask. You can't just throw asbestos tiles in a standard skip or take them to a local tip. We handle the entire disposal chain for you. All removed materials are double-bagged or wrapped in heavy-duty 1000-gauge polythene and labelled correctly. We then transport the waste to a licensed transfer station. Most importantly, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is your legal proof that the asbestos was disposed of correctly and safely. It's an essential document, especially if you plan on selling your property in the future.
