Floor Stripping Preparation Checklist
How to prepare for our visit.
We have created this handy Preparation Checklist to make it easy for you to work through what needs to be done before we arrive and so that your property is ready for work to commence at the agreed time. This prior preparation on your part is essential. Please do not hesitate to call us before the job is scheduled to commence if you need clarification on any of these points or have other questions.
- Remove everything from the area in which the work is to be performed; all furniture including couches, TVs, cabinets, pool tables, fridges, dishwashers, pictures, mirrors, curtains, blinds and personal effects.
- Kitchen cupboards are to be cleared completely if an entire strip out is to be performed or, if only the floor is to be removed, the pantry will need to be cleared and cupboards taped and covered with a dust sheet to prevent dust entering.
- Bathrooms are to be cleared completely if All Floors Demolition is to perform an entire strip out in this area.
- Clear access is needed in and out of the work area for ease of waste removal and machine accessibility.
- All openings such as doors and windows in the area in which the work is to be performed, need to be unlocked.
- Taping or sheeting off of doorways is recommended for areas to which no access is required. Covering of items is essential where they cannot be removed or are located in rooms where large openings prevent sheeting.
- Air conditioning units need to be turned off and covered.
- Smoke/fire alarms must be isolated or turned off prior to commencement of the job as dust may trigger an alarm.
- As removing floor coverings, stripping out bathrooms and concrete grinding is noisy it is the client's responsibility to ensure they have notified all people who would potentially be affected.
- When floors which are being removed have skirting boards, it is highly recommended that the skirting boards are removed to ensure a first class result and to prevent any damage to them or to the wall above.
- When floors are to be removed in a toilet area it is recommended that the toilet system be removed to prevent damage.
