Expert Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Petersfield, Hampshire

Most people we chat with in Hampshire tell us the same thing: they started a renovation and suddenly hit a layer of old '9x9' tiles. These 9-inch by 9-inch squares are a classic sign of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Often made of vinyl or thermoplastic, these tiles usually contain Chrysotile (white asbestos). But here's the bit many people miss—the black, tar-like adhesive underneath, known as bitumen mastic, almost always contains asbestos fibres too. You might be tempted to just scrape it off yourself, but that is when it becomes dangerous. When you break these tiles or sand down that old glue, you're releasing invisible fibres into the air of your home. Why take that risk? We provide professional asbestos testing and surveys to give you 100% certainty before you even pick up a hammer.

You might wonder why you can't just throw these tiles in a standard skip. Because they're hazardous waste, they require a very specific handling process to keep everyone safe. When we arrive at your property in Petersfield, we don't just start ripping things up. We use a 'wetting' method to suppress any potential dust and carefully lift each tile to keep breakage to an absolute minimum. We also use specialist HEPA-filter vacuums to ensure the subfloor is spotlessly clean. Once the tiles and bitumen are removed, everything is double-bagged and sealed. As licensed waste carriers, we take it all to a dedicated facility and provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This bit of paper is your legal proof that the job was done right and the waste was disposed of responsibly. It’s all about giving you total peace of mind.
