Tiles And The Glue Underneath
Many 9-inch and 12-inch floor tiles from before the 1990s contain asbestos, and so does the dark “cutback” mastic used to adhere them. Intact tiles sealed under newer flooring are low-risk, but lifting, breaking, or grinding them releases fibres.
Because the adhesive is often the bigger problem, simply pulling tiles up isn’t enough. We contain the space, remove both the tile and the mastic safely, and leave a clean subfloor ready for your new flooring.
Why It Matters
Why Floor Tile Removal Needs Care
Tiles Break Easily
Old tiles crack and shatter as they're pried up, and broken asbestos tile releases fibres straight into the room.
The Mastic Matters
The black glue under the tile often contains asbestos too, and scraping or grinding it is a common way fibres get released.
Subfloor Ready
Proper removal clears both tile and adhesive, leaving a clean subfloor so your new flooring sits right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just tile or lay flooring over asbestos tile?
Sometimes intact tile can be covered rather than removed, which avoids disturbance. But if tiles are loose, damaged, or in the way of your plans, safe removal is the better long-term solution. We can advise on your options.
Is the glue under the tiles really a concern?
Yes, often more so than the tile. The black mastic adhesive frequently contains asbestos, and scraping or grinding it releases fibres, so it needs to be handled as carefully as the tile itself.
Will my subfloor be ready for new flooring?
That’s the goal. We remove the tile and adhesive and leave the subfloor cleaned, so you can move ahead with your new flooring. We’ll flag any subfloor repairs if needed.
