Asbestos Vinyl Sheet Flooring & Paper Backing.

Sheet vinyl from the 1960s to early 1980s often has an asbestos paper backing, and unlike tiles, it tears when lifted, leaving fibre-rich paper bonded to the floor.

Where you'll find it

Kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms of homes and flats refitted before the mid-1980s, frequently hiding under one or two newer floor layers.

The risk

Lifting it dry is the problem: the backing shreds and the residue gets sanded or scraped by flooring fitters. Test before any floor replacement in a pre-1985 kitchen or bathroom.

Removal and cost

Removed wetted and rolled with the backing scraped under controlled conditions, typically £20 to £50 per m² including disposal, leaving a clean screed for the new floor. Figures are industry guide rates, not Innov8 Group prices, we're typically cheaper. Contact us for an official quotation.
