At Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex, we're here to guide you on how to remove asbestos floor tiles in Sussex so you can breathe easy and have a safe and healthy environment.

About Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in construction materials from the 1940s to the 1980s because of its durability, insulation, and fire-resistant properties. Asbestos was used in many materials including floor tiles, roofing, insulation, and even clothing. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can become lodged in the lungs and cause serious health issues like asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Asbestos fibers are thin, sharp, and brittle, and can easily break down into microscopic particles, making it difficult to detect. It's important to hire professionals to handle asbestos materials to prevent health hazards that come with exposure.

Asbestos Floor Tiles

Asbestos floor tiles were commonly used in buildings constructed between 1940 and 1980. These tiles can contain 10-25% asbestos fibers mixed with other materials like vinyl or asphalt. Asbestos floor tiles are safe to handle when they're in good condition, but once they're damaged, they pose a hazard to health. When floor tiles are damaged, cut, or disturbed, they release asbestos fibers into the air, which then can be inhaled.

How To Remove Asbestos Floor Tiles

Removing asbestos floor tiles is not a DIY project. It requires specialized equipment, trained professionals, and strict adherence to safety guidelines to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers. Here are the steps we take to remove asbestos floor tiles safely:

Step 1: Plan

The first step is to plan the asbestos removal project. Our team will assess the work area by conducting a thorough inspection, taking samples, testing the tiles, and developing an action plan. We also review the local regulations and obtain any necessary permits.

Step 2: Preparation

The work area should be cleared of any furniture, equipment, and people before we begin preparing for the asbestos removal. We set up a containment area with polyethylene sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into surrounding areas. We also wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, and boots, to prevent exposure.

Step 3: Removal

Our team carefully removes asbestos floor tiles using specialized equipment and techniques, including mechanical removal or wet stripping. We use a HEPA vacuum to clean the work area and surrounding areas to ensure all asbestos fibers are removed.

Step 4: Disposal

We pack the asbestos floor tiles in leak-proof bags and transport them to an approved waste disposal site. We ensure that all asbestos-containing materials are disposed of safely and in accordance with local regulations.

Step 5: Final Clean Up

After the asbestos removal is complete, we conduct a final clean-up of the work area and surrounding areas. We conduct an air test to ensure that there are no asbestos fibers remaining in the air.
