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.
