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 Woollahra properties
Need old carpet taken out in Woollahra? We lift carpet, underlay, gripper strips and staples, take it all away, and leave the subfloor swept and ready. In Woollahra, where homes are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and grand semis in tree-lined heritage streets, that often means planning access and protecting what's underneath.
Much of Woollahra is heritage-listed or in conservation areas, and original hardwood floors are common under later coverings.
Lifting carpet from Woollahra 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 Woollahra's heritage homes
We take extra care around skirting boards, architraves and fireplace hearths in older homes, so removal doesn't damage period details.
Uncovering original boards in Woollahra
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.
Carpet Removal questions from Woollahra
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.
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.
Do you only remove carpet, or install new flooring too?+
We do both. Many Woollahra 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.
