We’ve just taken up the laminate in our 1974 build as we’re looking to have new flooring throughout downstairs. I can already see the old black and white chequerboard tiles under the ceramic tiles that someone’s added in the kitchen and now we’ve just unearthed these in the dining room.

They look like Marley tiles which can contain asbestos.

I’m not planning on removing them but to leave them in situ and lay either self leaving compound screed over the floor to get everything level or simply put new flooring over the top if the rest of the downstairs is at the same level.

Question is, how safe are these to be exposed until we can get the floor sorted. They look intact, quite shiny and not crumbly or anything like that.

Thanks ☺️
