For most people, spending money on stripping, cleaning and preparing floor surfaces isn’t top of the wish list! If you’re improving your commercial or residential property, it’s natural to focus on the end game: a stunning floor with a beautiful covering. Alas, our experience is – people overlook a critical step in the process: professional preparation.

In our first article, I’m going to explain why stunning floor coverings deserve to be laid on suitably prepared floor surfaces. It sounds so obvious but, before investing $100s / $1000s in a new – carpet, tile, wood, or slate floor – it’s important to remove the old flooring. If this sounds complicated – relax, because professional floor stripping is our thing!

If you’ve not considered this important step in the refurbishment process before, then you’re not alone. Stripping floors is one of those hidden components that people overlook. Sometimes, as a result of this being an unexpected task – and therefore an unbudgeted task – people hire unskilled labourers or take a DIY approach – often, leading to less than ideal results.

Using specialist equipment like jackhammers & grinders and removing industrial adhesives might sound simple, but there’s devil in the detail. In addition to the obvious health and safety concerns, there’s also the risk of damage. In contrast, a little money spent up front – on hiring professional floor strippers – maximizes the longevity and beauty of your new flooring, and minimises the risk of damage, disruption, etc.

In this regards, using a Master Builder registered floor-stripping expert – can be seen an investment. In essence, this is what we do – the professional preparation part of the process. Simply put, our experienced technicians safely remove unwanted floor coverings, such as – tile, wood, cork, paint, vinyl, carpet, glue, slate, etc. – stripping, cleaning and preparing the surfaces.

The perfect floor begins with professional preparation, so – if you’re planning to invest in your flooring – ensure you take the right steps, and select a professional, floor stripping business!
