Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Long Eaton, Derbyshire

It is not just the tiles themselves that you need to worry about. Most of the time, those tiles were stuck down with a thick, tar-like black glue known as bitumen adhesive. Even if the tiles have already been removed, that dark residue left on the concrete subfloor often contains asbestos. Many people make the mistake of trying to scrape or grind this 'black mastic' away, which is exactly when the risk of fibre release is at its highest. We specialise in the safe stripping of asbestos-containing bitumen, using controlled methods that keep dust to an absolute minimum. We don't just take the tiles; we ensure the underlying adhesive is handled with the same level of specialist care.

You might be wondering, how do we actually get these materials out without making a mess? We follow strict HSE guidelines for non-licensable asbestos work to keep you and your family safe. First, we use dust suppression techniques, carefully wetting down the materials to prevent fibres from becoming airborne. Our team wears full PPE and specialist RPE (respiratory protective equipment) throughout the process. Once lifted, every tile and scrap of adhesive is double-bagged and sealed immediately. We don't just walk away once the floor is bare, either. We perform a meticulous site clean-up using H-class HEPA vacuums and fibre-trapping wipes, leaving your room completely clear and ready for your new flooring to be laid safely.
