Removed material taken away when you ask for it.

Broken-up tile adhesive in chips across a kitchen floor, partway through removal.

The old floor has to come up before the base can be checked and prepared. We take up tile, carpet, vinyl, glued timber, solid timber and skirting.

Old coverings come up before the floor can be read

Old coverings, adhesive, underlay and fixings come up before the floor can be checked or prepared.

  • Notched adhesive and broken tile pieces on a bare slab where a row of old terracotta tiles has been lifted, with a floor scraper resting beside them.

    Tile removal

    Tiles taken up and the surface underneath prepared for the next stage.

  • A bedroom with most of the old carpet taken up: the bare slab swept, the last strip still down along the far wall, and the cut carpet rolled and taped by the door beside a bag of underlay.

    Carpet removal

    Carpet, underlay, staples and fixings all taken up.

  • Sheet vinyl torn up across half a laundry floor, dark adhesive and grey backing left on the slab and torn pieces in a tub by the door.

    Vinyl removal

    Vinyl taken up and the surface underneath prepared for the next stage.

  • Direct-stick timber boards lifted off a slab with a pry bar, the notched adhesive ridges visible underneath.

    Glued timber pull-up

    Glued-down timber pulled up off the slab.

  • Old timber floorboards being levered up off their battens with a wrecking bar, the lifted boards stacked by the wall beside a bucket of nails and a broom.

    Solid timber pull-up

    Solid timber floors pulled up.

  • Painted skirting partly taken off a wall, a pry bar resting at a joint and removed lengths with nails still in them lying on the slab.

    Skirting removal

    Skirting taken off where the work needs the wall clear. Removal only.

A kitchen slab after the tiles came up: adhesive ridges still on the floor and two tubs of broken tile.

Removed material can be taken away

Ask for it when you get in touch. It's charged separately. The tile, carpet, vinyl or timber that comes up goes with us instead of staying stacked on site.
