Tile Removal

Proper preparation is critical to achieving truly dust-free tile removal. At Knock Out Strip Outs, we take the time to set up each site correctly before any tiles are lifted, ensuring maximum dust control and protection of surrounding areas.

Our preparation process includes isolating work zones, sealing doorways and vents where required, and setting up industrial dust-extraction systems connected directly to our removal equipment. Floors, walls, and fixed surfaces are protected to prevent damage, while safe access and clear work areas are established for efficient operation.

By preparing the site thoroughly from the start, we minimise airborne dust, maintain a cleaner environment, and ensure the space is ready for the next trade with minimal downtime.

The right preparation means cleaner removal, safer sites, and better results.

At Knock Out Strip Outs, our tile removal process is designed to be efficient, controlled, and safe for the underlying substrate. Every job begins with an assessment of the tile type, adhesive, and substrate condition to determine the most effective removal method.

We use purpose-built tile removal machines and hand tools suited to the floor system, allowing tiles to be lifted cleanly rather than shattered unnecessarily. Where tiles are direct-stuck, we adjust blade angles and machine settings to reduce gouging and surface damage.

Throughout the removal process, debris is continuously managed to maintain a safe work area and improve efficiency. Once tiles are removed, the surface is inspected and prepared for the next stage of works, whether that involves grinding, patching, or installation of new finishes.

By following a methodical, trade-proven approach, we deliver consistent results and leave a clean, workable surface ready for what comes next.

At Knock Out Strip Outs, our glue removal process is designed to efficiently remove stubborn tile adhesives while keeping dust to an absolute minimum. After tile removal, remaining glue is assessed for thickness, hardness, and coverage to determine the correct equipment and blade setup.

We use heavy-duty jack hammers fitted with specialised scraper blades to mechanically lift and shear the adhesive from the concrete surface. This method removes glue cleanly without excessive grinding, helping preserve the integrity of the slab.

To remain dust free, all equipment is paired with industrial dust-extraction systems that capture fine particles at the source as the glue is being removed. Debris is continuously cleared during the process, maintaining a safer work environment and preventing dust from spreading throughout the site.

Once complete, the surface is inspected to ensure glue residues are removed and the substrate is ready for grinding, polishing, or new floor finishes.

Controlled removal. Minimal dust. Reliable surface preparation.

At Knock Out Strip Outs, our concrete grinding process is used to level, clean, and prepare concrete surfaces for new flooring systems, coatings, or finishes. Each project begins with an assessment of the slab condition, including surface hardness, contaminants, and existing coatings or adhesives.

We use commercial-grade concrete grinders fitted with the appropriate diamond tooling to suit the application, whether the goal is surface levelling, adhesive removal, or profile preparation. Tooling is adjusted as the grind progresses to achieve a consistent finish without overworking the slab.

All grinding is carried out using industrial dust-extraction systems that capture airborne particles at the source, keeping the process virtually dust free and maintaining a safer work environment. Progress is monitored continuously to ensure flatness, correct surface profile, and readiness for the next stage of works.

The result is a clean, properly prepared concrete surface that meets industry standards and is ready for coatings, polishing, or floor installation.

Tile removal is notoriously one of the messiest parts of any renovation. When tiles are smashed and the adhesive is ground away, it creates a massive amount of fine white dust that can coat an entire property in minutes. At Knock Out Strip Outs, we use a specialized system designed to keep your home or business breathable and clean throughout the entire process.

Instead of traditional methods that let dust fly free, we use high-powered dust extraction units connected directly to our jackhammers and floor grinders. This captures the dust the very second it is created. We also set up heavy-duty floor-to-ceiling plastic barriers to seal off the work area, ensuring that the rest of your property remains untouched.

Once the tiles and subfloor are removed, we don't just leave a pile of debris for you to deal with. We perform a deep HEPA-vacuum of the concrete slab to remove every trace of silica and glue residue. This leaves you with a perfectly smooth, clean surface that is ready for your new flooring to be laid immediately. By choosing a professional virtually dust-free approach, you avoid the high cost of duct cleaning and the health risks associated with construction dust.
