Many properties in South Kirkby, particularly those built or refurbished before the year 2000, may contain asbestos in their floor tiles and the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them. These materials, while generally safe when undisturbed, can release dangerous asbestos fibres into the air if damaged, cut, or improperly removed during renovations or repairs. Inhalation of these fibres poses serious health risks. Our service begins with thorough asbestos surveys and testing, confirming the presence of asbestos before any work commences. This crucial first step ensures we only proceed with removal when necessary, providing an evidence-based approach to safeguard your property in South Kirkby.

Our professional asbestos floor tile removal process is designed for maximum safety and efficiency for our South Kirkby clients. It typically involves:

• Initial Survey & Testing: A trained surveyor visits your South Kirkby property to identify and take samples of suspect floor tiles and adhesive for UKAS-accredited laboratory analysis.
• Safe Containment: Once asbestos is confirmed, we establish a controlled work area, often using barriers and negative pressure units to prevent fibre release to other parts of your property.
• Careful Removal: Our licensed and trained specialists meticulously remove the asbestos-containing floor tiles and bitumen adhesive using approved techniques and specialised equipment.
• Site Clean-up: The area undergoes a thorough clean-up using H-type vacuum cleaners to ensure no asbestos debris remains.
• Hazardous Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, labelled, and transported by licensed carriers to approved hazardous waste disposal sites, providing you with all necessary consignment notes.
• Post-Removal Air Monitoring (if required): For larger or higher-risk projects, we can arrange for independent UKAS-accredited air testing to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation.
