One enquiry for the tiles and the adhesive
Old thermoplastic or vinyl floor tiles may be fixed with black bitumen adhesive. Tell us whether the tiles are still down, partly removed or already gone, and what flooring work you have planned. We assess the tiles and adhesive separately, including which material any test result covers. The area, condition, substrate and access around fixed units help us quote for the removal and finish you actually need.
- Removal of asbestos floor tiles, bitumen adhesive, or both, as agreed
- Occupied homes, empty properties and commercial spaces assessed
- Access around kitchen units, edges and fixed furniture agreed before work
- Removal waste taken away, with a waste consignment note provided
Know what your floor will be left like
We agree the achievable finish before you book. The substrate, remaining adhesive and access around edges or fixed units can affect the result. Removal does not automatically leave the floor ready for a new covering. Floor repairs, levelling and fitting your new flooring must be arranged separately.
Useful information for your enquiry
Share the property postcode, approximate quantity or area, condition and access. Photographs and existing laboratory or survey reports help us assess the enquiry.
Please take photographs only from a safe position. Do not lift flooring, scrape a coating, open packaging or climb onto a roof for a quote.
Your questions, answered.
Can you remove bitumen if the tiles have already gone?
Yes, send photos of the exposed adhesive, the approximate area and any existing test report. We will review the substrate and condition before confirming the method and achievable finish.
What if I do not have an asbestos test result?
Send the information you have. We can discuss sampling if needed. A tile result does not automatically confirm the asbestos content of the adhesive beneath it.
Can you work around kitchen units?
Tell us which units and fittings will remain. We will explain any access limits and agree which areas are included before you book.
How soon will I receive a quote?
We aim to quote within one working day when we have enough information. If testing, a visit or more details are needed, we will explain the next step.
Can you assess a floor before I buy the property?
We can discuss targeted sampling with access and permission agreed through the owner or agent. Send the report, photographs of any already exposed areas and details of your proposed work. Do not lift fixed coverings to obtain photographs. We will explain access limits and whether a wider survey is needed; a result for one sample does not describe the whole floor or property.
Do asbestos floor tiles and adhesive always need removing?
Not automatically. Intact material that can remain undisturbed may sometimes be managed in place. Its condition, your planned work and the requirements of the new floor all matter. Discuss the asbestos information with a competent contractor and your floor fitter before deciding on removal or covering it; do not sand or grind a suspect floor to prepare it.
