At Asbestos Removal Newark, we specialise in safe, low-disruption removal of thermoplastic vinyl tiles and the hazardous bitumen adhesive found beneath them. Whether you are renovating a terraced home in Newark town centre or modernising a 1970s property in Balderton, our Newark asbestos floor tile removal service leaves you with a clean, ready surface for new flooring.

We handle everything from identification and testing through to removal and legal disposal, protecting your family and property value.

Asbestos floor tiles may look harmless on the surface, but they pose significant risks when disturbed. Attempting to pry them up yourself can snap the tiles and release fibres into your home.

This is why Newark homeowners rely on professional Asbestos Floor Tiles Newark specialists. When these tiles or the adhesive beneath them are drilled, scraped, sanded, or broken, they can release hazardous dust.

• Fibre Release: Snapping tiles releases white asbestos fibres into your living space.
• Contamination: Dust settles on carpets, curtains, sofas, and clothing, creating long-term exposure risk.
• Disposal Issues: Newark tips do not allow asbestos or mixed flooring waste.
• Hidden Adhesive Danger: The black bitumen adhesive under the tiles often contains asbestos.

Our trained Newark team eliminates these risks through clean, controlled asbestos tile removal procedures.

1. Safety & Containment

We seal off the room, tape doorways, and use H-Class extraction to prevent dust escaping into the rest of the property.

2. Removing the Bitumen Adhesive

The adhesive usually contains asbestos fibres. Standard DIY tools cannot remove it safely. We use specialist scraping equipment and solvents to reduce residue safely.

3. Licensed Disposal

We bag and transport your asbestos flooring waste to an authorised hazardous waste facility. Fully compliant with UK law.

4. Certification

Every Asbestos Floor Tiles Newark job includes a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. Essential for property sales and insurance.

Removing internal asbestos flooring requires careful control to keep fibres contained. Our Newark process is efficient and tidy.

Step 1: Assessment

You send us photos and basic room dimensions. We can often identify asbestos floor tiles immediately.

Step 2: Site Preparation

We ask you to clear furniture the day before. We protect non-moveable items and seal the doorway with heavy polythene.

Step 3: Tile & Adhesive Removal

We lift tiles with minimal breakage using manual and mechanical methods. For bitumen adhesive, we use scraping equipment and safe softening agents to remove as much as possible.

Step 4: Deep Clean

We vacuum all surfaces using H-Type extractors to remove microscopic traces.

Step 5: Handover

Your room is left safe, clean, and ready for new flooring. You receive your disposal paperwork immediately.

How do you know if you need Asbestos Floor Tiles Newark services? While only a lab test can be 100% sure, there are common visual clues:

• Age: Was the flooring installed between 1950 and 1990?
• Size: Are the tiles 9 inches square (approx. 23cm)? This size is a classic indicator of asbestos content.
• Colour: They are often beige, brown, or green, sometimes with a marble-effect pattern.
• Adhesive: Is there a black, tar-like glue underneath them?

Do Not Guess. If you are planning to sand or screed over the floor, you must know for sure. We offer a rapid [Asbestos Testing Newark] service. We can pop round, take a small scraping of the tile and the glue, and give you a definitive answer within 24 hours.

Costs depend on the room size and difficulty of adhesive removal.

Typical Price Factors:

• Room Size: Price based on square metres.
• Adhesive Amount: Removing bitumen glue takes longer.
• Location: Ground floor rooms cost less than upper floors.

We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden extras. The price we say is the price you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just screed over asbestos tiles?

No. You must remove asbestos tiles and adhesive before any flooring work.

Is the black adhesive dangerous?

Yes. Bitumen adhesive often contains asbestos and releases fibres when disturbed.

How long does it take?

For a standard kitchen (approx. 12sqm), Asbestos Floor Tiles Newark removal usually takes less than a day. We can typically complete the removal and clean-up in 4 to 6 hours.

Do you remove the skirting boards?

Ideally, no. We try to remove tiles up to the edge of the skirting. However, if tiles are tucked tightly underneath, we may recommend you remove the skirting beforehand to ensure we can get every piece of asbestos out.
