Expert Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Hedge End, Hampshire

How do you know if you're looking at asbestos? Often, it’s the size that gives it away—many older vinyl or thermoplastic tiles were exactly 9 inches by 9 inches. But the real hidden hazard is often the bitumen adhesive (or mastic) used to stick them down. This black, tar-like substance almost always contains Chrysotile, or white asbestos. Even if the tiles themselves are modern, that old glue underneath might not be. If you've discovered this in your Eastleigh property, the best thing you can do is stop what you’re doing. Give us a call at 023 8272 1620 and we can chat through what you've found. We even offer sampling and testing to give you 100% certainty before you proceed.

We don't just rip up floors. Our team at Stay Safe Environmental follows a strict, professional process to ensure your home stays clean and safe. We use a "wetting down" technique to suppress any potential dust before carefully uplifting the tiles to prevent them from snapping or shattering. Once the tiles are up, we tackle the stubborn bitumen adhesive. Every scrap of material is double-bagged and the area is thoroughly cleaned using specialist HEPA vacuums designed to trap microscopic fibres. We treat your home with the same care we’d treat our own, making sure it’s completely safe for you, your family, or your floor fitters to walk on.

One of the biggest worries for people in Hedge End is what happens to the waste once it leaves the house. You can't just throw asbestos tiles into a standard skip or take them to the local tip. As licensed waste carriers, we take care of the entire disposal process for you. Once we’ve finished the job, we transport the hazardous waste to a specialist facility and provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This is your legal proof that the asbestos was handled and disposed of according to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It’s essential paperwork to keep, especially if you ever decide to sell your property in the future.
