Old floors often hide the real preparation work
Removal and stripping are often the first step in a replacement floor. Once carpet, timber, laminate, vinyl, underlay or adhesive is removed, the real condition of the slab or substrate becomes clear.
Oz Timber Floor can discuss removal alongside levelling, product supply and installation so the project is planned as one sequence instead of separate disconnected jobs.
Adhesive and substrate review
Stripping adhesive residue and identifying substrate issues before new flooring.
Access and site protection
Discussing disposal, access, dust, noise and site protection requirements.
Ready for new flooring
Preparing the floor for levelling, patching or installation after removal.
Replacement planning
Removal sets up the new floor
A clean removal scope helps avoid surprises when the replacement flooring is ready to install.
Hidden slab issues
Old flooring can hide dips, cracks, moisture concerns, poor repairs and adhesive build-up that need attention.
New flooring choices
Once the old floor is removed, hybrid, laminate, engineered timber or vinyl options can be matched to the site.
Install after removal
Plan replacement installation with trims, heights, doorways and adjoining surfaces already considered.
Site sequence
What to plan before stripping starts
Removal can affect timing, access, dust control, disposal and the preparation needed before the new floor goes down.
Different materials, adhesives and underlays require different removal expectations.
Consider parking, lifts, stairs, occupied spaces, furniture and other trades on site.
After removal, check for residue, uneven areas, moisture risk, cracks and weak repairs.
Use levelling, patching or surface preparation where needed before installing the replacement floor.
