We Remove All Common Floor Coverings
Our team at Fraser Coast Waterproofing is made up of trained industry experts with years of experience. That means we’re comfortable removing all common types of floor coverings, including:
Screeds
Depending on the type of screed you have, we'll make use of a number of different tools and machinery, including pry bars, hammers, pneumatic floor scrapers and power sanders. We may also utilise an enzyme cleaner for oil bond screed.
Floor And Wall Tiles
There are a number of options available to us here, and the tool used will depend on how stubborn your tiles are to remove. For floor tiles, we'll probably use a rotary impact hammer or a jackhammer. For wall tiles, pry bars and hammers are usually very effective.
Vinyl
A heat gun is invaluable when trying to remove vinyl flooring as the adhesive applied when it's first laid can be difficult to scrape away. Other tools used during the process include pry bars and hammers.
Glues
In the past, many people have turned to toxic chemicals to remove glue residue from floors, but there are more environmentally-friendly options available today. We use a diamond grinder, which is perfect for removing thin coatings, glue and adhesives.
Timber
Timber flooring that is glued and nailed down can be hard to remove, which is why our team's toolkit when dealing with wooden floors includes circular saws, pry bars and nail claws.
Carpet
It’s fairly easy to pull up an entire room of carpet, but it's not easy to roll, transport and dispose of it. Some of the tools we use include heavy-duty utility knives and staple removers as well as pry bars and hammers.
Epoxy
The best way to remove epoxy is to soften it first using acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Once the surface has softened, we'll scrape it back using pneumatic floor scrapers and hammers.
Membranes
Due to their waterproofing qualities, membranes and their adhesives can be very tricky to remove. One of the best tools for lifting floor membranes is a pneumatic floor scraper.
Our floor stripping services use the latest tools of the trade and heavy-duty floor stripping machines to remove your existing floor coverings. We maintain our machinery regularly so that our work is always top-notch and streamlined. Once we’ve removed the floor covering, we can use
concrete grinding
tools to remove any residual tile glue or adhesives. This helps us ensure that the flooring is correctly prepared and ready for your new surface.
Another route that we can take for some jobs involves using a mix of sandblasting techniques and shot blasting methods. We start by removing all floor coatings with a concrete grinding machine before sand or shot blasting. We may also use chemical strippers if the job calls for it.
It’s important that you use a professional service for this, as a poor DIY job where old sealers, coatings and floorings still remain can make it very difficult to fit new flooring. That’s why we only ever use the best tools for the job.
Finishing Floors With Our Dustless Diamond Grinder
When working with timber or concrete flooring, we can finish the job with our dustless diamond grinder. This is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution to preparing a concrete or timber surface. The end result is a perfectly smooth and levelled floor that is ready for new flooring.
We find that using a dustless diamond grinder for this type of work is the most efficient method because it’s clean, fast and provides an excellent final result.
