How Long Does Floor Removal Take?

The time required depends on the type of flooring and how it was originally fitted:

  • Carpets – Quick to remove, often less than 10 minutes per room.

  • Vinyl – If only fixed at the edges, it can usually be lifted in minutes.

  • Laminate & Luxury Vinyl (LVT) – Removed plank by plank, so it takes longer and may vary depending on the size of the room, furniture, or how strongly the floor was glued down.

Our fitters will always let you know what to expect and ensure the process is carried out efficiently on installation day.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of uplift & removal depends on the size of the area and the type of flooring being taken up. Don’t worry — we’ll provide you with a clear, upfront quote before any work begins. Once agreed, you can pay the fitter directly on the day of installation, giving you complete peace of mind that everything is taken care of.
