Identify the building layer
Screed, levelling compound and structural slabs need different removal boundaries. Thickness and connection to surrounding components matter; the top surface alone is insufficient.
Services and reinforcement
Heating, pipes and reinforcement may be present. Provide drawings and records. Structural reinforcement is not treated as an incidental obstacle during removal.
Quotation and handover
Describe the retained layer and required end condition. Removal, structural work, repairs and a new floor are separate items. A quote must use the actual build-up rather than a general material name.
Preparation at a glance
- Document thickness and layers.
- Provide structural and service records.
- Specify the retained floor and repairs.
Frequently asked question
Is screed demolition the same as concrete floor removal?
No. Function, thickness and risks can differ, so both need an assessed scope.
