Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles laid before 2000 frequently contain chrysotile asbestos fibres. This applies to both the tiles themselves and the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them to the subfloor.
We visit your property free of charge within the same week, inspect the tiles and adhesive layer, take samples where required, and confirm the composition before any removal is agreed.
Safe Lifting and Adhesive Removal
Licensed Disposal and Consignment Note
From free same-week survey through to licensed disposal, we manage every stage of your asbestos floor tile removal in full HSE compliance.
We visit free of charge within the same week, inspect the tiles and adhesive, and submit samples to a UKAS-accredited laboratory. Written results confirmed before any removal is agreed.
If asbestos is confirmed, you receive a fixed written quote within 48 hours. That price does not change once confirmed in writing.
Our UKATA-trained operatives lift tiles using specialist tools to minimise fibre release. The bitumen adhesive is then removed using controlled wet methods throughout.
All tiles and adhesive are bagged in compliant packaging and transported to an HSE-approved facility. Consignment note provided on completion.
We carry £10m public and employer liability insurance as standard on every floor tile removal job across Surrey.
Every operative is UKATA-trained. We do not subcontract or use agency labour on any job.
We do not revise a price once confirmed in writing. No estimates, no additional charges on completion.
Every waste load is tracked, every job is documented, and every customer receives a consignment note on completion.
FAQS
No, breaking, cutting, or snapping asbestos cement guttering deliberately causes the material to fragment and releases respirable asbestos fibres. All asbestos cement rainwater goods must be removed intact wherever possible and handled using methods that prevent breakage throughout the process. Deliberate breakage is not a permissible removal method under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
No, our team specialises strictly in the safe removal and licensed disposal of asbestos-containing materials. Installing replacement UPVC or aluminium guttering is a separate trade outside our scope. We confirm our exact removal scope in writing so you can easily arrange a replacement contractor.
In most cases, no, asbestos cement guttering removal typically falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work (NNLW) category. A full HSE asbestos removal licence is not required, but a UKATA-trained operative must still follow approved HSE procedures. We confirm the exact work category at the free survey stage before any quote is issued.
In most cases, asbestos vinyl floor tile and bitumen adhesive removal falls into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work category under HSE regulations. A full HSE asbestos removal licence is not required, but the work must still be carried out by a UKATA (UK Asbestos Training Association)-trained operative following approved procedures. We confirm the exact category for your job at the free survey stage before any quote is issued.
No. Removing asbestos-containing floor tiles without the correct training and controls is a criminal offence under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. Lifting tiles without proper wet suppression methods can cause the bitumen adhesive layer to shear and release respirable asbestos fibres. We carry out a free same-week survey and confirm whether removal is required before any renovation work begins.
Visual identification alone is not a reliable method for confirming asbestos in floor tiles or bitumen adhesive. Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles laid before 2000 are the most likely to contain chrysotile asbestos fibres, but laboratory testing is the only definitive confirmation method. Our free survey includes inspection of the tiles and adhesive layer and, where required, controlled samples submitted to a UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service)-accredited laboratory.
Once all tiles and bitumen adhesive have been safely removed, the subfloor surface is left clean and clear. We do not carry out subfloor repairs or lay new flooring as this is a separate trade outside our scope of work. We confirm the exact removal scope in your fixed written quote so you can easily arrange a flooring contractor to complete the next stage.
Yes. Where the composition of the tiles or adhesive has not already been confirmed by a previous test, our operative takes controlled samples at the free survey visit and submits them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. We provide written results before any removal is agreed or carried out. Removal is only confirmed once the presence of asbestos has been established by laboratory analysis.
