Expert Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Southampton, Southampton

Why can't you just scrape them up yourself? It’s a fair question. The problem is that when these old thermoplastic or vinyl tiles break—which they inevitably do when you’re prying them up—they can release microscopic asbestos fibres into the air. If you start sanding or grinding that stubborn bitumen adhesive to get a level floor, you’re creating a much bigger hazard. Most people we talk to in Southampton didn't even realise the glue was the problem until they started digging. We use specialised techniques to suppress dust and lift materials carefully, keeping your home and your family safe from invisible risks.

We don’t just come in and rip things up. Our team follows a strict safety programme to ensure your property remains uncontaminated. We start by damping down the area to stop any fibres from becoming airborne. Using professional-grade tools, we carefully uplift the tiles and the mastic, then use HEPA-filtered vacuums to clean every last speck of dust. Everything we remove is double-bagged and sealed right there on-site. Because we’re fully licensed waste carriers, we don't just leave it in your wheelie bin; we transport it to a specialised facility and provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note for your records.

Being based right here in Southampton, we know the local housing stock well, from the Victorian terraces in Shirley to the post-war semis in Totton.
