Professional Floor Tile Removal & Concrete Preparation Across Melbourne

Remove old floor tiles and strip back existing tiled surfaces with professional floor tile removal. EarthQuake carefully breaks up and removes the existing tiles, then removes remaining adhesive, mortar and loose material to expose the underlying concrete. The surface can then be mechanically prepared and levelled as required, creating a cleaner, more suitable substrate ready for new tiles, grinding, sealing, resurfacing or another flooring system. Ideal for residential, commercial and industrial renovation and floor preparation projects across Melbourne.

Prepare the Concrete for New Flooring or Tile Installation

Old tiled floors can leave behind broken tiles, adhesive, mortar and other bonded material that must be removed before a new floor finish can be installed.


EarthQuake can remove:



  • Existing ceramic floor tiles
  • Porcelain floor tiles
  • Stone tiles
  • Tile adhesive and mortar
  • Grout residue
  • Loose and bonded surface material
  • Remaining flooring debris and contaminants
  • Surface material requiring removal before new tile installation

Tile Adhesive, Mortar & Grout Removal

Removing the tiles is only part of the process. Old floors often leave behind tile adhesive, mortar, grout and other bonded material that can prevent the next floor finish from being installed correctly.


EarthQuake can mechanically remove this remaining material to help create a cleaner and more consistent surface ready for new tiles, resurfacing, grinding, sealing or another flooring system.

Concrete Floor Preparation After Tile Removal

Once the existing tiles and adhesive have been removed, the underlying concrete can be assessed and prepared for the next stage.



Depending on the condition of the floor, preparation may include grinding, removing high spots, stripping bonded residue and cleaning the surface to create a more suitable substrate for new tile installation or another floor finish.
