Dismantling of the floor covering

The initial stage of any major renovation is certainly the dismantling of the old floor covering. Moreover, it must be removed, regardless of what is planned to be laid on the floor in the future. Because if the new material is laid on the old one, it will wear out very quickly and will require another replacement.

Despite the simplicity of the process, dismantling work of this plan has some peculiarities. In the absence of certain knowledge and skills, important communications of the premises can be damaged. Therefore, it is advisable to hire qualified workers to carry out such work. The company LLC "RSK ALBA" is always ready to provide assistance, offering a turnkey dismantling service in Kiev.

Dismantling of wooden, parquet and linoleum flooring in Kyiv

The methods and tools for this process are usually chosen depending on the type of material the old floor is made of.

Wood on logs

In this case, the company's workers first remove the skirting boards, and then begin to remove the boards. Work begins in the direction from the walls. This takes into account the need to preserve the material - in case the coating is to be installed again. If the boards are no longer to be used, they can be sawn during the removal process.

The next stage is the removal of old logs. Of the tools, a crowbar or a mount is usually used. Such work requires special care, since there may be communications or ventilation shafts under the logs. There may also be a lining of insulation cotton wool, which is also extremely important to remove carefully.

Parquet and linoleum

Parquet or laminate is easily removed if the floor is laid from modern materials that have connecting locks in their design. Removing the floor covering is somewhat more difficult, since it can be glued to the base or fixed with nails. In this case, the elements are removed one by one, picking up with a chisel and tapping with a hammer. You can remove the glued lamellas after warming them with a construction hair dryer.

To remove linoleum, carpet, etc., first remove the baseboards, after which the material is rolled up. If the old covering was attached with glue, then it must be torn off using physical force. If necessary, you can also use a construction hair dryer.

Dismantling of concrete and tiled floors

These types of materials require several stages of removal. When removing the tile, it is also important to consider whether it will be reused.

Tile removal

This process is quite complicated and requires a lot of effort. At the beginning, the craftsmen clean the joints, removing the grout from them. To do this, they first wet it with water. The tile itself is removed using a chisel.

If the material is laid on a cement mortar, it will not be possible to remove it without damage. In this case, the craftsmen use a perforator with a specialized nozzle. Upon completion, the freed surface is cleaned of cement residues in preparation for further work.

Dismantling of concrete floor

Removing the screed from concrete will be necessary if it has many defects and is covered with mold and fungus. If the screed is laid in one layer, then it is quite possible to cope with it using a sledgehammer and a small chisel. With a concrete thickness of 3 cm and the presence of a reinforcing mesh, a jackhammer or a powerful perforator is usually used. Also, an effective result is provided by a circular saw with a diamond cutter.
