Floor Hacking & Removal in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

Removing an old floor is heavy, dusty work, and it is the stage that reveals what you are actually dealing with underneath — which is why we assess and report on the exposed subfloor rather than just clearing and leaving.

Cost Factors

What affects the cost of Floor Hacking & Removal?

Understanding what drives price helps you compare quotes fairly and prepare useful details for assessment.

Floor area

Priced per square foot.

Existing floor type

Loose-lay vinyl lifts quickly; well-bonded tiles or glued-down timber take far longer.

Adhesive residue

Old adhesive that has to be scraped back adds significant labour.

Disposal logistics

High-rise removal via service lift takes longer than ground-floor access.

FAQs

Floor Hacking & Removal — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

What usually turns up under an old floor?+

Most often an uneven or patched screed, sometimes old adhesive that has to be scraped back, and occasionally damp. None of these are unusual, but they all affect what the new floor needs. That is why we assess before you commit to a laying date.

Can I lay a new floor straight after hacking?+

Sometimes, but not always. If the subfloor is flat, clean and dry, yes. If it needs levelling, the levelling compound has to cure first, and that takes time. Planning for a possible levelling stage avoids a stalled job.

How much dust will there be?+

Removing tiles is genuinely dusty, and fine dust travels beyond the room. We seal off access routes and protect what stays, but if you are living in the property, expect the area to be out of use and to need cleaning afterwards.

Do you take the debris away?+

Yes, we bag and remove it from the property. Bear in mind that some condominiums and local councils charge for bulk waste disposal or require it to go out at specific times. Where that applies, we flag it before starting so it is not a surprise cost.
