Our Sydney epoxy floor removal service includes the following:
- Surface test and damp checking
- Scrub extraction, dust-controlled equipment for safe removal

Tear off of Waterproofing MembraneIf existing waterproofing is old and/or in poor condition, it can hold water and impede the ability to bond new waterproofing to it. We take out all kinds of membranes:
- Liquid-applied polyurethane
- Torch-on bitumen
- Sheet membranes
Our Sydney waterproofing removal services include rooftops, balconies, basements, and wet areas, and we ensure that areas have been prepared to allow any waterproofing system to be re-applied.
Paint, Sealant & Glue Removal
These surface coatings may include line marking, wall paint, or tile adhesives, and we can remove them through several surface profiling methods, including:
- Diamond grinding
- Shot blasting
- Soak in if the chemical stripper is safe and applicable
Our method has been developed to suit your type of surface and your goals for the project: aesthetic restoration to a full-scale renovation.
How Our Process Works
Our coating stripping is a quick, systematic process that enables your business to continue with its day-to-day operations with minimal disruption:
Step 1: Site Inspection
We evaluate the type of surface, thickness of the coating, adhesion, and any environmental considerations (such as ventilation and access). This allows us to decide the best & safest removal technique.
Step 2: Surface Preparation
The surrounding parts are protected to prevent contamination. For indoor works for dust extractors and machinery, the machines are changeable by hand, as well as the machines for different hardness of the surfaces or differences in texture.
Step 3: Coating Removal
Through mechanical grinding, shot blasting, or scraping methods, we strip away layers to reveal the base substrate.
Step 4: Clean Up and Assess the Final Lockicients
We vacuum up the area and make it scrupulously clean. We also perform moisture checks or substrate strength tests before recoating or resurfacing as necessary.
