Strip Out of Flooring
Step 1: Stripping the Existing Vinyl
The first stage involved a full strip-out of the old vinyl flooring, removing all bonded adhesives and surface contamination. This process ensures that no imperfections or residues interfere with the new layers and helps avoid future issues such as lifting, bubbling, or uneven wear.
We use specialist stripping equipment to remove the vinyl safely and efficiently, especially in commercial and high-traffic environments where time and precision matter.
Step 2: Applying the Latex Screed
With the substrate fully exposed and cleaned, we then applied a 3–4mm latex smoothing compound across the surface. This self-levelling screed helps to:
Smooth out minor imperfections in the subfloor
Provide a consistent level surface for the new vinyl
Increase the adhesion and durability of the final layer
Improve underfoot feel and comfort
We ensure the correct product is selected based on subfloor condition, traffic levels, and installation environment — whether it’s for retail, hospitality, healthcare, or residential spaces.
Step 3: Ready for New Vinyl Installation
Once cured, the latex surface provides a clean, even base that’s perfectly primed for new vinyl flooring installation. This preparation not only enhances the finish of the final product but also extends its lifespan and makes future maintenance easier.
