Found old floor tiles during your renovation?
It happens more often than you’d think. You’re finally getting around to ripping up that dated carpet in your Shirley semi-detached, or maybe you're prepping a shop floor in Southampton city centre, and there they are. Brittle, 9-inch vinyl tiles stuck down with a stubborn black glue. If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, there is a high chance these are asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). While they are relatively safe if left completely undisturbed, the moment you start snapping them or trying to sand back that black adhesive, you are looking at a real health risk. That’s where we come in.
Vinyl tiles and that pesky black adhesive
Many homeowners don't realise that the danger isn't just in the tiles themselves. It is often hiding in the 'bitumen mastic'—that tar-like black adhesive underneath. Both the tiles and the glue frequently contain chrysotile, commonly known as white asbestos. When these materials are broken, scraped, or ground down, microscopic fibres can be released into your home. We’ve seen plenty of DIY jobs go wrong because someone tried to 'just scrape it up' with a spade. It is simply not worth the risk to your family or your lungs. We use specific damping-down techniques and specialist tools to keep those fibres exactly where they belong: in our sealed waste bags, not in your air.

Who We Are
Professional removal process across Hampshire
We don’t just turn up and start pulling things up. Our team follows a strict, safe process to ensure your room is ready for your new flooring as soon as possible. First, we isolate the area to prevent any dust from travelling through the house. We use H-Class HEPA-filtered vacuums to catch the tiniest particles and keep everything damp to suppress dust throughout the removal. Once the tiles and mastic are removed, we double-bag everything and provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This is your legal proof that the asbestos was disposed of correctly at a licensed facility. Whether you are in Bassett, Totton, or Bitterne, we treat every home with the same level of meticulous care.

Answers to common questions about our Asbestos Floor Tile Removal in Southampton
How can I tell if my old floor tiles contain asbestos?
It is hard to identify asbestos just by looking at a tile. However, if your Southampton property was built or refurbished before 1999, there is a high chance the flooring contains it. These tiles are often 9-inch or 12-inch squares and can feel quite brittle. Often, they are stuck down with a thick, black glue. If you find these during a DIY project, the best thing to do is stop work and let us take a look. We provide quick testing to give you a definitive answer.
What is the risk of removing vinyl floor tiles myself?
The main danger comes when the tiles break. This releases microscopic fibres into the air. If you use a scraper or a power tool to get them up, you create a lot of dust that is very hard to clean up. Our Hampshire asbestos removal team uses controlled methods and industrial vacuums to stop any dust from spreading through your house or office. Hiring a professional means you don't have to worry about contaminating your living space or your lungs.
Do you also handle the black bitumen adhesive under the tiles?
Yes, we specialise in bitumen adhesive removal. It is very common for the black "mastic" glue used for these tiles to contain asbestos as well. Even if the tiles come up easily, the sticky residue left on the concrete can still be a hazard. We use specific techniques to remove this layer, leaving you with a clean subfloor that is ready for your new floor installer to start their work.
Is a licensed asbestos contractor needed for floor tile abatement?
Most floor tile removal is classed as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work. However, you still need a team that follows HSE compliant removal practices. We provide the necessary transit and disposal documents to prove the waste was handled legally. This is vital if you ever sell your property, as surveyors will often ask for proof that any known asbestos was removed by a professional.
How do you manage vinyl floor tile disposal?
We take the responsibility of waste very seriously. All asbestos waste is double-bagged in specific, labelled sacks before it leaves your property. We then transport it in our own vehicles to a licensed hazardous waste site. As a domestic asbestos disposal specialist, we make sure that nothing is left behind and your property is completely clear of debris before we finish the job.
