Floor and screed demolition
in Riga and across Latvia

Professional floor and screed demolition

Floor and screed demolition is an important preparation stage before renovation, reconstruction, redevelopment or installation of a new floor covering. Properly performed demolition allows old flooring layers to be removed, the base to be cleaned, its condition to be assessed and the premises to be prepared for the next construction or finishing stage without unnecessary delays.

We carry out floor demolition in apartments, private houses, offices, shops, commercial premises, warehouses, production areas and other facilities in Riga and across Latvia. We work both in small rooms and on large-scale projects where speed, organisation, sufficient manpower, proper tools and timely construction waste removal are especially important.

Before starting the works, we assess the type of floor covering, screed thickness, base condition, room area, access conditions, floor level, amount of waste and requirements for carrying out and disposal. This approach helps plan the work sequence correctly, calculate the cost more accurately and organise demolition so that the site can be prepared for the next stage as quickly as possible.

Removal of floor coverings in apartments, houses and commercial premises

We remove different types of floor coverings, including tiles, laminate, parquet, linoleum, PVC flooring, vinyl flooring, carpet flooring, wooden floors, glued and mechanically fixed coverings. Each material requires a suitable removal method: tiles and glued coverings usually take more time, while laminate, parquet or carpet can often be removed faster if there are no complex fixings or thick adhesive layers.

In apartments and private houses, floor demolition is often required before major renovation, floor replacement, redevelopment or preparation of the base for a new floor structure. In offices, shops and commercial premises, the speed of work is especially important in order to reduce downtime and prepare the premises faster for further renovation, finishing or use.

If the site has several layers of flooring, such as old linoleum over wooden boards, tiles over screed or glued PVC flooring on a concrete base, the demolition method is adapted to the specific situation. The goal is not only to remove the old material, but also to prepare the base efficiently for the next stage of works.

Concrete and cement-sand screed demolition

Screed demolition is a more labour-intensive process, especially when thick concrete screed, cement-sand screed, old cracked layers or uneven hard bases need to be removed. Such works are often required before installing a new floor structure, waterproofing, underfloor heating, replacing utilities or carrying out full reconstruction of the premises.

When removing screed, it is important to choose the correct tools and working method so that the demolition is performed quickly, but without unnecessary damage to slabs, engineering systems or neighbouring structures. Before the works begin, we assess screed thickness, possible reinforcement, base type and the possible location of utilities under the floor or near the working area.

On large sites — warehouses, production premises, retail areas, office buildings and technical zones — screed demolition requires good organisation and enough working resources. This allows large volumes to be removed within shorter timeframes while construction waste collection, carrying out, loading and removal are organised in parallel.

Fast work organisation and construction waste removal

Floor and screed demolition creates a significant amount of construction waste: broken tiles, concrete, cement fragments, adhesive residues, wooden elements, linoleum, PVC, carpet and other flooring materials. To prevent the work from stopping and the premises from turning into a waste storage area, collection and removal of waste should be planned together with the demolition process.

We organise collection, packing, carrying out, loading and removal of construction waste after the works or during the demolition process if the project involves a large volume. This is especially important in multi-storey buildings, commercial premises, warehouses and production facilities, where order, access to working zones and the ability to continue other construction works without delays are essential.

Our goal is to carry out floor and screed demolition quickly, practically and in an organised way — from removal of the floor covering to base cleaning and construction waste removal. This format is suitable for private renovation projects, commercial premises and large facilities where deadlines, volume, clear organisation and readiness for the next stage are important.
