Total Floor Prep Solutions specialises in professional subfloor preparation.
This includes removing existing floor coverings, clearing adhesives and residues, grinding and levelling concrete, and preparing surfaces so new flooring can be installed correctly.
Most flooring failures start at the subfloor.
If old glue, coatings, uneven slabs, or contamination are left behind, new flooring can lift, crack, sound hollow, or wear prematurely. Proper preparation prevents those issues before installation begins.
Preparation is carried out for:
Tiles and large-format tiles
Timber, hybrid, and vinyl flooring
Carpet installations
Waterproofing systems
Epoxy, polyurethane, and polished concrete finishes
The preparation method depends on the final floor system.
