Expert Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Newport, Isle of Wight

It isn't just the tiles themselves that usually cause the headache. Have you noticed a black, tar-like substance stuck to the concrete floor once the tiles are up? That’s bitumen mastic, and it’s notorious for containing asbestos fibres. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can just sand it off or pour self-levelling compound straight over it. Sanding is particularly dangerous as it turns that adhesive into a fine, toxic dust that lingers in the air. We use specialised techniques to strip both the tiles and the adhesive safely, leaving you with a clean, prepped floor that’s actually ready for your new LVT, laminate, or carpet.

Why choose a local team? Because we know the Island and we care about our reputation here. Serving Newport and the surrounding area within a 25-mile radius, Stay Safe Environmental is fully trained for non-licensed and NNLW (Notifiable Non-Licensed Work). We don't just "rip and skip." We follow strict HSE guidelines, using HEPA-filtered vacuums and wetting agents to keep dust at zero throughout the process. Every job we finish comes with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note, giving you the legal proof you need that the waste was disposed of at a licensed facility, which is essential if you ever decide to sell your property.
