Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Oakham, Rutland

It’s a common mistake to think the job’s done once the tiles are up. Often, there’s a stubborn, dark, tar-like substance left on the concrete floor—this is bitumen adhesive, or "black mastic." In almost every case, this adhesive also contains asbestos. Sanding this down to get a smooth finish for your new floor is one of the most dangerous things a DIYer can do, as it creates a fine, toxic dust. We specialise in the safe removal of both the tiles and this bonded bitumen, ensuring your subfloor is genuinely clean and safe for your new flooring to be laid. We use specific techniques to ensure the adhesive is handled without spreading dust throughout your property.

We don't just "rip things up." Our process follows strict HSE guidelines to keep you and your family protected. We use professional "wetting-down" techniques to suppress dust, ensuring no fibres become airborne during the lifting process. Our team uses specialist H-class HEPA vacuums for a deep clean and wears full RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) throughout the project. Once we've lifted the materials, they are double-wrapped and sealed on-site. As a registered waste carrier, we’ll transport everything to a legal disposal facility and provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This isn't just paperwork; it’s your legal proof that the asbestos has been disposed of responsibly and won't come back to haunt you later.

We know the local property types well, from the charming cottages in the Vale of Belvoir to the mid-century family homes where these materials were standard.
