01 / Overview
Out with the old
Before new flooring goes down, old flooring has to come up. Tiles, vinyl, carpet, adhesives, coatings, screeds — whatever’s there, we remove it efficiently and leave a clean substrate ready for the next step.
Apex Floor Preparation operates ride-on scrapers and grinders that deliver production rates hand tools can’t match. We handle strip-outs from single retail tenancies to large-scale warehouse refurbishments — on schedule and within budget.
We remove
- Ceramic and porcelain tiles
- Vinyl sheet and planks
- Carpet and carpet tiles
- Adhesive residues
- Epoxy and polyurethane coatings
- Levelling compounds and screeds
