Renovation strip-out

Floor underlay removal

Remove an identified underlay after floor assembly and disposal requirements are reviewed.

Start with the right scope.

Removal, dismantling, clearance and appropriate disposal. New fixtures and replacement work have their own HAUSE destinations. Selective removal needs a clear line between demolition and what remains.

What the project brief should cover

For floor underlay removal, describe the existing condition, the intended outcome and anything that limits access or timing. Include clear photographs and product details when discussing the job with a provider. Do not submit entry codes, payment details or sensitive records in the form.

  • Drawn removal limits. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
  • Building age. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
  • Hidden services. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.
  • Protection plan. Record what is known and mark anything that needs an on-site check.

What to confirm before agreeing

Do not disturb suspected asbestos or other hazardous materials; arrange assessment before work.

Ask for a written scope that identifies preparation, protection, connected trades, disposal, finishing and the agreed completion checks. Confirm the responsible provider’s qualifications, insurance and any local requirements for this work. Ask how concealed conditions and changes are approved before additional charges arise.

Budget and timing

Location, access, existing conditions, product choices and the work included affect the quotation. This page describes a type of request; it does not promise a price, local availability, an appointment or a verified provider match. Confirm any assessment fee and commercial terms directly.

Leave the next stage clear.

Agree whether the space is left cleared, swept, stripped or repaired. The next trade needs a documented handoff.
