How we remove carpet
We pull the carpet from the wall, cut it into manageable strips, roll it and bag it. Underlay comes up next, then we lever out every tack strip around the perimeter. Finally we sweep the subfloor and pull leftover staples, leaving a clean concrete or timber surface ready for paint, sand-and-polish, or new flooring.

Carpet Removal for Marrickville properties
Need old carpet taken out in Marrickville? We lift carpet, underlay, gripper strips and staples, take it all away, and leave the subfloor swept and ready. In Marrickville, where homes are mostly Federation and interwar houses, semis and walk-up units, that often means planning access and protecting what's underneath.
Marrickville has a lot of Federation and interwar homes where carpet has been laid over original timber boards that can often be restored.
Uncovering original boards in Marrickville
In older homes there may be several layers — carpet, underlay, lino or masonite — over the original timber. We remove each layer and leave the boards clear so you can see their condition before deciding on sanding or new flooring.
Lifting carpet from Marrickville terraces
Terraces often hide original boards under carpet. We lift carefully, pull every staple and tack strip, and avoid prying damage so the boards are ready to sand. Narrow hallways and stairs mean old carpet is cut into small rolls before carrying out.
End-of-lease carpet removal in Marrickville
For landlords and agents, we can remove worn carpet between tenancies to fit tight changeover dates, and coordinate with new flooring if you're replacing it.
Carpet Removal questions from Marrickville
Everything Sydney homeowners and businesses ask before booking a flooring install.
What if there's lino or masonite under the carpet?+
We can remove the extra layers too. Let us know when booking so we allow time for scraping and lifting.
Will removing carpet damage my original floorboards?+
We lift carpet and gripper strips carefully and pull every staple, so boards are left ready to sand rather than gouged.
Can you remove carpet between tenants?+
Yes. We schedule around lease-change dates and can coordinate new flooring straight after.
Do you only remove carpet, or install new flooring too?+
We do both. Many Marrickville customers book removal on its own, but we can also install new carpet or hard flooring straight after.
What's left once the carpet is removed?+
A swept subfloor with carpet, underlay, gripper strips and staples removed, ready for paint, sanding or new flooring.
