How To Remove Chrysotile Asbestos Tiles In Sussex

Asbestos was once a popular building material due to its fire retardant properties and durability. However, this mineral has been found to be carcinogenic, and exposure to it can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious health problems.

If your home or office in Sussex was built in the 1960s to 1980s, then it's highly likely that you have asbestos-containing materials, such as floor tiles. If you suspect that your flooring contains asbestos, then you must have it tested by a qualified professional before doing any removal work.

How To Identify Asbestos Floor Tiles

In the past, asbestos was used in various building materials, including floor tiles, insulation, roofing, and more. If you suspect that your flooring contains asbestos, then you must have it tested by a qualified asbestos testing company.

When performing the test, the technician will take a small sample of the material and analyze it for asbestos content. If the results confirm the presence of asbestos, then you should contact Affordable Asbestos Removal Sussex to have the tiles removed safely.

Asbestos floor tiles are usually 9x9 inches square, and they have a distinctive appearance. They are often black or dark-colored, and they have a pattern that resembles a woven cloth or burlap texture. However, not all tiles that look like this contain asbestos, so testing is necessary to confirm the presence of this hazardous material.

How To Safely Remove Asbestos Floor Tiles

Here's how we safely remove asbestos floor tiles from homes and offices in Sussex:

1. We shut down the HVAC system to prevent the spread of asbestos dust.
2. We wet the work area to prevent the fibers from becoming airborne.
3. We use specialized tools to carefully remove the tiles from the floor, ensuring that they remain intact.
4. We double-bag the tiles and place them in a labeled, leak-proof container.
5. We transport the container to a licensed asbestos disposal facility for proper disposal.
6. We clean up the work area using HEPA-filtered vacuums and damp cloths to ensure that no asbestos fibers remain.
