Old Floor Removal & Disposal in Melbourne

It is also the messy first step that has to be done right before any new floor goes down.

Clean, Dust-Controlled Removal & Disposal
Old floor removal is where the mess happens, so we manage it properly. We use dust control on grinding and scraping, protect the areas we are not working in, and bag or bin the debris as we go. When we leave, the old floor is gone, the subfloor is swept, and the space is ready for preparation or a new floor, not covered in dust and offcuts.
