Hi

Vynal floor tiles of a certain age may contain asbestos ( Chrysotile )

As the asbestos is incapsulated in to the product it’s unlikely to present any health issues. If there is damage then the whole of the flooring should be removed and replaced.

There’s know way of knowing without being tested whether your particular tiles are affected. You can have asbestos containing tiles as well as non asbestos containing tiles on the same floor.

It’s the landlords responsibility to address the issue.

Thanku There all disturbed under carpet even looks like Tarmac and conceited upstairs I ain't having council say we replace broken ones if in years to come or now no one suffers it's high on my list as of me dad ,won the case for the people protective clothing thanks for reply .

We live in social housing, our landlord does an annual check on the floor tiles and other parts of the house (sofits and facias) for asbestos deterioration, and they arranged for a professional company to get rid of our old floor standing boiler because it had asbestos too. But my dad who owns his own house was advised not to have his old asbestos garage removed, as it could be more dangerous to move it than to leave it.

I feel like I'm drama Queen but every floor needs to be sealed if it is a under carpert dreading it go Tarmac top stairs ice been scrubbing it all as of that women took a lot tiles left bag found it full of tiles the smell was the worst dust thanks answering

From my understanding if you can see hessem sack like material in worn floor tile that’s asbestos bit of tile.

School I worked at had classroom floors with worn tiles like I described kids use to throw them around as all broken up.

Then during asbestos survey managers had cord carpet glued over them just in time.

What makes you think they are asbestos? I wouldn't have thought so. I have asbestos in my lungs and I used to work with it, but never heard of floor tiles made of asbestos.

Many floor tiles contain Asbestos, often used in 60/70s

What if I'm wrong after two weeks here the smell hidden under stairs was bag full of the tiles they ripped up or there animals did in hall under stars removed the bag full of dust stunk the smell ain't so bad now two weeks even scrubbing the floors of mould animal toilet ect Thankyou

in reply toFaithfull

Mould can be deadly, it causes people to be very ill. Spray with hydrogen peroxide you can get this from Bobbys Healthy Shop on the internet. just as a precaution if its a big area wear a mask because of your condition. But it has never harmed me in fact I drank a teaspoon for many years with apple or orange juice but it has to be food grade H202

Good read. As asbestos is in many things still but while they are not distrurbed they do not present so much of a threat but once they become airborne they are a problem.

Hi vinyl tiles once broken can be a risk re asbestos, You can get this inspected by a professional surveyor who can give you a report that you could show the council to enforce your complaint. Try the web for a suitable professional in your are

I'm grateful for reply it's as soon as contractor said no we can't touch them we have to take photo as it could be harmful . So first thing in me head was check for toxins as this whole place was used as a animal farm pellets you name it I wanted sleep on street so bad.
