[Mr Tiler]

what to do when you encounter these? I knew there was more to these than just vynil tiles.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

marly tiles !! i used to lay them years ago !! strip them -up and the black tar stuff underneath ....first

 

[Mr Tiler]

what about the asbestos in them? I have no knowledge of asbestos don't know what it is or what it is in! but I know its dangerous and theres a high risk of lung disease when handling.... its one of the things on my list lol. do they have to be tested beforehand too?

Ah fair enough.... You still got time to develop asbestosis then. A good dust mask although technically if you are not licences you should not be dealing with asbestos waste....

Oh and happy birthday for Sunday...

You should really dampen the area down too, as it stops any asbestos fibres floating round. I'm unsure of the rules with Marley tiles!?! Normally if you think asbestos is present, you should report it, and get it tested..

Take aspestos seriously, it's a killer.
