Likelihood of asbestos in this linolium or adhesive
We are removing this floor in our Victorian house to lay tiles in the kitchen.
Taking out the kitchen space we thought there is a chance of asbestos but didnt consider it before.
How likely do you think this is to contain asbestos? I have a feeling this was laid in 2006 when planning permission was granted to move the outhouse toilet inside as a WC. Where I believe the kitchen was also moved around. The lino runs into the toilet so another reason for me to suspect this.
All the linolium goes around the new kitchen, the kitchen worktops don't sit on the linolium , but on concrete. so I am fairly confident this was laid as part of that process.
I found this catalog from 2004 in our house documents which again led me to believe this was all part of that process. Again on the spec the width is 2m per roll which lines up with the markings of the floor.
It rolls up and most of the cement/adhesive (not sure what it is) rolls up with it but some stuff stayed on the floor and is basically like sand. Under that is a cement block with bubbles on it which I think is from the leveling compound maybe?
I just want to know if I'm panicking or if it sounds likely to be asbestos.
