Uplift & Removal Services in South Wales

Once you’ve placed an order with us, the old flooring will need to be lifted and removed before your new flooring can go down. Removing old flooring is a messy job, and there’s also the old accessories to get rid of, such as underlay, grippers, and carpet tacks. 

Once removed, the subfloor beneath needs to be inspected to see if any work needs doing. Finally, the subfloor needs to be swept and vacuumed so it’s free from dust and dirt, ready for the new flooring to be installed. We can also remove and dispose of your old flooring in a safe and sensible manner. All of this is included in the Uplift and Removal fee, so you can sit back and relax. 

The time it takes to remove your old floor depends on what type of flooring it is and how it’s been fitted. Carpet is very quick to remove, maybe even less than 10 minutes for an average-sized room, so this can take place on the day of fitting. Vinyl flooring that’s only stuck down at the edges can also be ripped up within minutes. Smooth flooring like luxury vinyl or laminate needs to be removed plank by plank so therefore takes a bit longer, and depends on other variables, such as whether the room is empty, whether any subfloor work needs doing, or in the case of dryback luxury vinyl, how well it’s stuck down and to what! All of this can be assessed ahead of providing a quote. 

That depends on what we have to do. But don’t worry, we’ll give you a clear quote and, once you’re happy to go ahead, we can make arrangements to remove the old flooring before your new one is installed.
