Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire

It is easy to think, "I will just pry these up myself," but that is where the danger lies. Often referred to as Marley tiles, these vinyl products contain chrysotile asbestos. When they snap or crack—which they almost always do during removal—they can release invisible fibres into your home's air. It is not just the tiles, either. The black, tar-like glue used to stick them down, known as bitumen adhesive, frequently contains asbestos too. Trying to scrub or sand this "black mastic" is incredibly risky as it creates fine dust that is easily inhaled. Professional handling is not just a preference; it is about protecting your health and ensuring your home remains a safe environment for your family.

We do not just "rip and skip." Our approach follows strict HSE guidelines to ensure your home remains safe from start to finish. First, we use specialist dust suppression techniques, wetting the tiles to keep any potential fibres grounded. We carefully lift the vinyl floor tiles and then tackle the stubborn asbestos-containing bitumen adhesive beneath. Everything we remove is double-bagged and sealed immediately. We also use HEPA-filtered vacuuming and fibre-trapping wipes to decontaminate the subfloor and surrounding area. Once we are finished, your floor is left clean, clear, and ready for your new flooring to be laid without any lingering worries.
