What tile removal covers

Controlled breaking and full debris clearance from floor to wall base, leaving a clean substrate.

  • Broken tile lifting

    Removing cracked or raised tiles without damaging adjacent walls or surfaces.

  • Adhesive bed removal

    Scraping off old adhesive beds to leave a flat, bondable concrete surface.

  • Wall tile removal

    Stripping wall ceramic and porcelain while preserving the plaster or block face.

  • Substrate inspection

    Checking the slab or plaster after removal for cracks, hollows or moisture.

  • Debris clearance

    Collecting and removing all broken tile debris from site on a daily basis.

  • Ready-base handover

    Handing over a clean, level surface ready for the new tiling team to proceed.

Signs your tiles need removing

  1. Hollow sound when tapped

    A tile that has lost its adhesive bond sounds hollow and cannot be fixed by grouting alone.

  2. Lifting tile edges

    Raised tile edges are a trip hazard and indicate adhesive failure beneath the surface.

  3. Cracks running across tiles

    Cracks crossing the tile body cannot be filled with sealant and will let moisture through over time.

  4. Moisture showing under tiles

    Dark patches or blistering in bathroom areas signal waterproofing failure that requires full tile removal to repair.

Before you call

  1. Mark out the removal area

    Measure the actual area in square metres because the quote is based directly on it.

  2. Count the tile layers

    If tiles were previously laid over an older layer, removal is deeper and takes more effort.

  3. Identify the substrate type

    Concrete slab, wall plaster or gypsum board each requires different removal tools and care levels.

  4. Know what runs beneath the tiles

    Shallow buried water pipes or electrical conduits below the slab must be identified before breaking starts.

What goes wrong with most finishing.

The finish is what you see every day, and its mistakes do not hide. These three are the most common.

  1. 01

    A rushed finish

    The finish is what you live with every day. Rushing it shows in every corner.

  2. 02

    Four contractors for one finish

    Tiling, gypsum, paint and aluminium crews who never talk to each other.

  3. 03

    After-care that never comes

    Once you have the keys, it is hard to find anyone to come back and fix what shows up.

The solution?

Full finishing, and maintenance after it, from one licensed company.

  1. A bathroom finished in modern marble

    Regular maintenance after handover

    And finishing on instalments if you need it.

How it works.

  1. Call or whatsApp

    Describe the area, tile type and reason for removal to arrange a site visit.

  2. Site assessment

    We measure the area and check tile layers and substrate condition on site.

  3. Quotation

    A clear quote covering removal and full debris clearance is provided.

  4. Removal works

    Tiles are broken, adhesive scraped off, and debris removed without damaging the base.

  5. Substrate handover

    The clean, inspected surface is handed over ready for new tile installation.

What sets the price.

No fixed rate applies because these combined factors determine the actual removal cost for each job.

Get a quote
  1. Total area

    Square metres to be removed are the primary driver of the overall cost.

  2. Number of tile layers

    Two or more layers require significantly more labour and time than a single layer.

  3. Adhesive type used

    Old epoxy adhesive is far harder to scrape away than standard cement-based bedding.

  4. Substrate condition after removal

    A damaged or uneven substrate needs extra levelling work before new tiles can be fixed.

  5. Site access difficulty

    Upper floors without a lift increase debris removal time and affect the overall cost.

Questions, answered.

Can only a section of tiles be removed rather than the whole room?

Yes, but stopping at a defined line requires cutting cleanly along a grout joint rather than breaking the boundary tile. If the same batch is still available the result is fine; if the tile has been discontinued matching the colour may be difficult.

Does tile removal always damage the concrete slab underneath?

Not necessarily. Correct tools and controlled technique preserve the slab surface in most cases. Damage occurs when wrong tools or excess force are used, particularly where old adhesive has bonded very hard to the concrete.

Is there a practical difference between removing ceramic tiles and removing porcelain tiles?

Porcelain is harder and tends to fracture into larger pieces, which can make lifting easier. Ceramic shatters into smaller shards faster. The bigger variable is the adhesive type and bond strength beneath the tile, not the tile material itself.

How is dust controlled during tile removal inside an occupied or partly occupied building?

The work zone is sealed off with protective sheeting, tools with integrated dust extraction are used where possible, and the site is swept daily. Dust cannot be eliminated entirely but it can be confined to a tight zone.

Must furniture and appliances be cleared before tile removal begins?

Yes, the area must be fully cleared. Removal generates vibration and debris that can damage anything left in place. Furniture also blocks access to corners and edges, which increases labour time and cost.
