Old tile query in 1950s house

[NewbieTiler99]

Afternoon all. I'm just starting a cloakroom toilet project and i need some advice regarding old tiles.

Having just ripped some old skirting off, i discovered that it had been bonded to some very old looking tiles that transition 90° bewteen the floor and the wall. Unfortunately some of them broke as i pulled the skirting away. Naturally being my first project I'm a little concerned about asbestos tiles. Ideally i need to remove the wall portion of the tile to get a nice flat wall to tile.

It may be a bit of a long shot but has anyone come across these types of tile before? Anything to worry about?

Thanks in advance!

They look like coves. Just made from clay
I don't think you have any worries about asbestos

Thank you for the reply! I suspected as much and i know it's difficult to tell based on a picture alone but it's good to get a second opinion.

Thought I'd add a couple of pics of the project! Will be tilling the floor and walls and adding a very compact toilet and sink!

That soil pipe is crying out to be dug up and set back closer to the wall.

I do a lot of them, makes a huge amount of difference having the WC against the back wall.

The tiles in question, they’re not flexible in any way are they? Difficult to tell from the photo.

I have thought about it but I have no Idea where to start on doing that!

Looks like salt glaze.

Not a diy job....

A days work for a Plumber. You’d need to check to see if you have enough length in the vertical run to be able to set the pipe back.

Hmm may be worth considering. In any case, i plan to carefully remove the collar, and fit a multikwik.
