Hey all,
After removing the kitchen units I noticed under the plywood that is under the vinyl floor tiles all put up possibly 10 - 20 years ago, there is this cardboard paper stuff stuck the the floorboards and the tiles. Just wondering was this some sort of old backing to lino? The flat is from the 1920s. Though knowing just how much they loved to throw asbestos where ever they could in those days poisoning the future generations! Do you think this could be the nasty stuff? Feels papery like old card but can never be sure. Just though was card a more common thing they used under the lino tiles? Either way if I take it off I will probably try to steam it and give it a good soak.
