We take off floor coverings, screed and tiles. We collect the waste and take it away in the same visit.
Lifting floors and tiles looks simple until work starts: under the laminate there is usually a sub-base, under that a screed, and only then the structural floor. Every layer makes its own waste, and the screed is the heavy part — twenty square metres can give two tonnes. We take off every layer down to whatever base your next step needs, then collect the waste and take it away the same day.
Covering, sub-base and screed. We agree how deep to go, based on what goes down on top.
We sheet up adjoining rooms and exits. Breaking out screed is the dustiest job there is, so we plan for it.
Two tonnes of screed is 60–70 bags. We carry them down, no lift included.
If damp, old tanking or a damaged base turns up, we tell you at once so you can plan ahead.

The crew arrives at a time you choose — often the same day or the next.
We work the price out from the photos and agree it with you. We only start once you have confirmed.
We work cleanly and tidy up after ourselves.

Book a collectionThis is why floor jobs so often turn out bigger than they look — under the visible covering there are usually two or three more layers.
Laminate, parquet, linoleum or carpet. The lightest layer — 20 m² of laminate is about 1 m³ and only 150 kg. It comes up quickly.
Under the covering there is usually plywood, chipboard, an old boarded floor or a levelling layer. In Soviet-era blocks, often a boarded floor on joists with sand or clinker beneath it, which also has to come out.
The heaviest layer. Five centimetres of screed across 20 m² is about 1 m³ and weighs around two tonnes. Breaking it out is a job in its own right with a breaker, and it largely sets both the duration and the cost of removal.
Breaking off tiles and mortar throws up very fine dust that settles in every room if it is not contained. We sheet up doorways, exits and adjoining rooms — standard, not an extra.
Ten square metres of wall tiles with mortar weighs 300–400 kg. Bathroom walls and floor together easily reach 400–600 kg — 15–20 full bags to carry down the stairs.
If you are laying new tiles, the old mortar bed usually has to come back to the base so the surface is level. That doubles the waste, and we build it into the quote from the start.
In a bathroom there may be old tanking under the tiles, which also has to come off before the new goes down. We tell you what we find so you can plan the next step.
