Uplift & Removal Service
We can arrange for the hard work to be taken care of.
Getting rid of your old flooring might look like an easy DIY job, but it often ends up being more time-consuming and challenging than expected. At Crazy Price Carpets, we can coordinate with experienced independent fitters to make sure your new flooring is installed to the highest standard. As part of their additional services, they offer uplift and disposal of your old flooring. Please keep in mind that this service is only available when you purchase new flooring from us.
What’s included in the Uplift & Removal service?
Once you’ve placed an order with us, the fitter will need to take up the old flooring before your beautiful new flooring can go down. Removing old flooring is a messy job, and there’s also the old accessories to get rid of, such as underlay, grippers, and carpet tacks. Once they’ve been removed, the subfloor beneath needs to be inspected to see if any work needs doing. Finally, the subfloor needs to be swept and vacuumed so it’s free from dust and dirt, ready for the new flooring to be installed. The fitter will also remove and dispose of your old flooring in a safe and sensible manner. All of this is included in the Uplift and Removal fee, so you can sit back and relax.
How long does it take to remove old flooring?
The time it takes to remove your old floor depends on what type of flooring it is and how it’s been fitted. Carpet is very quick to remove, maybe even less than 10 minutes for an average-sized room, so this will normally take place on the day of fitting. Vinyl flooring that’s only stuck down at the edges can also be ripped up within minutes. Smooth flooring like luxury vinyl or laminate needs to be removed plank by plank so therefore takes a bit longer, and depends on other variables, such as whether the room is empty, whether any subfloor work needs doing, or in the case of dryback luxury vinyl, how well it’s stuck down and to what! All of this can be assessed by a Tapi home consultant when they visit.
How much does it cost?
That depends on what the fitters have to do. But don’t worry, we’ll give you a clear quote and, once you’re happy to go ahead, we can make arrangements with the fitter so you can breathe a sigh of relief that the old flooring will be gone before your new one is installed. Simple pay the fitter directly for this service on the day they fit your new carpet or flooring.
