Asbestos Floor Tile Removal

Local Asbestos Floor Tile Removal Services


Asbestos floor tiles were commonly used in properties built before the 1980s and often contain between 2 – 5% Chrysotile (white) asbestos. While these tiles are durable and generally safe when undisturbed, damage or wear can release harmful asbestos fibres into the air, posing serious health risks such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
