Uplift, disposal & subfloor prep
Cleared, prepared, ready for what’s next
Old flooring doesn’t always need replacing straight away, sometimes it just needs to come out: clearing a room before a sale, before new floorboards or tiles, or simply before we lay something new. We lift it, dispose of it responsibly, and leave the subfloor ready.
What we can do for you
The different jobs we take on under uplift, disposal & subfloor prep, with straight answers to the questions we get asked most.
Full uplift & disposal
Old carpet, underlay, gripper rod or vinyl lifted and taken away for responsible disposal, so you’re not left with a skip or a boot full of offcuts.
- Carpet, underlay, gripper rod and vinyl all lifted
- Responsible disposal included, nothing left for you to deal with
- Priced from roughly £3–£6 per square metre
- Can be booked as a standalone job or ahead of new flooring
Subfloor preparation
Once the old flooring is up, we check what’s underneath: damp, damage, unevenness, and sort it before anything new goes down.
- Subfloor checked for damp and structural issues
- Levelling compound applied to even out dips and high spots
- Old adhesive or gripper nails cleared before relaying
- Honest advice if a subfloor issue needs a specialist before we continue
Before new flooring
Booking an uplift alongside a new carpet or vinyl install means one visit instead of two, and guarantees the subfloor is properly prepared before the new floor goes down.
- Booked as one job with your new carpet or vinyl install
- Subfloor prepared to suit the new flooring type
- Avoids new flooring being laid over old adhesive or debris
