Professional Asbestos Floor Tile Removal
in Totton & the New Forest
Safe, certified removal of vinyl tiles and bitumen adhesive by Stay Safe Environmental.

Most homeowners we speak to are surprised to learn that the tiles themselves aren't the only risk. That black 'bitumen' mastic adhesive was used for decades and almost always contains asbestos fibres. While the tiles are often classified as non-licensed work, they still require professional handling. Imagine the risk of using a floor sander or scraper on that old glue; you’d be sending invisible, hazardous fibres into the air of your family home. We use controlled methods to safely uplift vinyl or thermoplastic tiles and manage the contaminated bitumen, leaving you with a clean, safe subfloor ready for your new LVT, laminate, or carpet.

How do we keep your home safe? It’s all about the details. We follow strict HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 on every job. Our team starts by damping down the materials to suppress any dust before carefully lifting the tiles to keep them intact as much as possible. We use specialist HEPA-filtered vacuums to clean the area and ensure everything is double-bagged and sealed before it even leaves the room. It’s a clean, efficient process designed to let you get back to your renovation as quickly as possible without any lingering worries.

You can’t just throw asbestos tiles in a standard skip or take them to the local tip. As licensed waste carriers, Stay Safe Environmental manages the entire disposal process for you. Once we’ve cleared your floor in Totton or the surrounding Hampshire area, we transport the waste to a specialist facility. We’ll provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note—this is your legal proof that the material was handled and disposed of correctly. Why take a chance with your health or your property’s compliance when you can have a certified professional handle it for a fair, transparent price?
