Asbestos Floor Tiles

The vinyl floor covering in this
picture was lifted slightly to reveal
older floor tiles beneath.
The floor tiles were tested and
found to contain asbestos.
This was a type 3
survey.

These stair
nosings contain
asbestos.
Originally laid in the early
1970's, it's unlikely that you would get
any fibre release from them and therefore
there is no risk to health in leaving
them in position.
It's impossible to tell by
looking at a material to know if there is
asbestos present. These were tested and
came up positive.

Our
Favourite Asbestos Find!
Some asbestos surveyors
conducting a visual survey don't bother to look
above ceilings or in lofts and voids and
instead, presume the presence of
asbestos.
This box of original Marley
asbestos tiles was found in a loft in a shop in
the Midlands, holding down a loft hatch that
rattled in the wind!
The date of the survey was
March 2007. We avoided the temptation to place
them for sale on Ebay.

Remember, it is now a legal requirement for all
commercial premises to maintain an asbestos management
plan.
You have a duty to identify where asbestos may
be present in your building, in order to safeguard the
health and safety of your employees, visitors and
contractors.
This is not optional. For assistance with any
aspect of management or removal of asbestos, please call
us using the numbers given at the top of each
page.
