Find out what they're made of.
Then if they're a health or fire risk treat accordingly.0 -
To be honest kevin007 whether the property is a HMO, contains one tenant or is your own home, you don't want polystyrene tiles in the property.
I've seen the aftermath of a "small" fire in a room with polystyrene tiles. However due to the tiles the effect of the fire wasn't small.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

If you are saying that they aren't polystyrene what's your concern? compressed card/paper doesn't sound like an issue to me?0
