Preparation for Professional Tile Removal

At the start of any project to remove floor tiles, our team focuses on thorough preparation to ensure the job is safe for the removal workers and owners of the building site. Before we begin, we gather all necessary tools, such as protective goggles, heavy-duty gloves, a dust mask, chisels, hammers, a power scraper, and a pry bar. To maintain a clean environment, we cover nearby surfaces with protective sheeting and open windows for proper ventilation.

Next, we assess the floor and identify any loose tiles that can serve as starting points. We also make sure the area is clear of furniture and any items that could be damaged. Before removing any floor tiles, we take note of any underfloor heating systems or hidden wiring, which are then shut off for safety. By carefully preparing the area, we set the stage for a smooth tile removal process.

Tile Removal Process

Once the area is prepped, we begin to remove floor tiles with precision and care. Starting from a corner or a loose tile, we use a chisel and hammer to break the grout around the tile’s edges. Our team works systematically, positioning the chisel under the tile and gently tapping with a hammer to loosen it. In cases where tiles are more resistant, we switch to a pry bar or power scraper, which speeds up the process while maintaining control.

We remove floor tiles one at a time, taking care to avoid damaging the underlying surface. For tiles held down with strong adhesives or mortar, our team uses specialised scrapers to remove all traces of residue. This ensures the floor is left smooth and ready for any new finish. Throughout the process, we focus on efficiency and minimising dust and debris, which keeps the area clean and disruption-free.

Final Clean-Up and Surface Preparation

After we successfully remove floor tiles from the entire area, our team performs a detailed clean-up to leave the space spotless. We start by sweeping up all large debris, then use high-powered vacuums to capture dust and smaller particles. Any remaining adhesive or mortar is scraped off to create a clean, level surface.

‍

Finally, we responsibly dispose of the removed tiles and waste materials. We happily leave the space, ready for the next phase, whether it’s a new tile installation or another type of flooring. Our professional approach to removing floor tiles guarantees a clean, smooth finish, allowing for a seamless transition to whatever comes next.
