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 Paddington properties
Need old carpet taken out in Paddington? We lift carpet, underlay, gripper strips and staples, take it all away, and leave the subfloor swept and ready. In Paddington, where homes are mostly two-storey Victorian terraces on narrow lots, that often means planning access and protecting what's underneath.
Paddington sits within a heritage conservation area, and its terraces typically have steep, narrow staircases and original timber floors over suspended subfloors.
Lifting carpet from Paddington 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.
Careful removal in Paddington's heritage homes
We take extra care around skirting boards, architraves and fireplace hearths in older homes, so removal doesn't damage period details.
Carpet Removal questions from Paddington
Everything Sydney homeowners and businesses ask before booking a flooring install.
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.
Do you only remove carpet, or install new flooring too?+
We do both. Many Paddington 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.
