Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Loughborough, Leicestershire

One of the biggest surprises for homeowners in Loughborough is what's left behind after the tiles are gone. Often, you'll find a layer of thick, black, tar-like glue known as bitumen adhesive. It’s a common misconception that if the tiles are out, the risk is gone. In reality, this "black mastic" almost always contains chrysotile asbestos. If you try to grind this off or use chemicals without the right protection, you could inadvertently contaminate your entire property.We don't just stop at the tiles.
