QUESTIONS

Floor Removal FAQs

Most types of flooring can be removed before installing new timber flooring. Here’s a breakdown of common flooring types and considerations for removal:

1. Carpet

  • Easily removed, along with underlay and staples.
  • Subfloor may need cleaning or repairs after removal.

2. Tiles

  • Ceramic, porcelain, or stone tiles can be removed, but the process may be labor-intensive.
  • Subfloor leveling or repair is often needed afterward.

3. Vinyl and Linoleum

  • Can be peeled up, though adhesive residue may require scraping or chemical removal.

4. Laminate

  • Floating laminate floors are usually easy to dismantle.
  • Glued laminate requires more effort to remove.

5. Old Timber Flooring

  • Existing timber can be removed if heavily damaged or unstable.
  • Sometimes, old timber can be sanded and refinished instead of being removed.

6. Concrete Coatings

  • Paints or sealants on concrete may need to be stripped before installing timber flooring.

Professional Assessment

The ease and cost of removal depend on the type of flooring, adhesive used, and subfloor condition. Professional removal ensures minimal damage to the subfloor and proper preparation for the new timber flooring.

Yes, floor removal can create dust and mess, especially with tiles, glued flooring, or old timber. However, professionals take measures to minimize it by:

  • Using dust extraction tools and vacuums.
  • Sealing off adjacent areas with plastic sheeting.
  • Cleaning up debris during and after the process.

Modern sanding equipment significantly reduces dust. Many professionals use sanders with built-in dust collection systems. While some fine dust may still escape, installers often seal the workspace and clean thoroughly after sanding.

The timeframe depends on the type of flooring and the area size:

  • Carpet or floating floors: 1–2 days for standard-sized rooms.
  • Tiles or glued flooring: 2–3 days, as they require more effort to remove.
  • Larger or more complex spaces may take longer.
  • Professionals usually dispose of old flooring materials responsibly.
  • Some materials, like timber or tiles, may be recycled or reused if in good condition.
  • Disposal fees may apply, depending on local waste management regulations.
  • Discuss recycling or reuse options with your contractor if you’d like to keep certain materials.
