Uplift & Removal Service

Leave the Heavy Lifting to Us — Uplift & Removal Service Available When You Order!

Need help with removing old flooring? Let Carpet Outlet take care of it for you!

Out with the old and in with the new! At Carpet Outlet, we can arrange for the hard work to be taken care of — so you don’t have to lift a finger.

While removing old flooring might seem like an easy DIY task, it can often be more hassle than expected. That’s why Carpet Outlet offers an Uplift & Removal service through our trusted fitting partners.
Please note: This service is chargeable and only available when you place an order for new flooring with us.

What’s included in the Uplift & Removal service?

Once your new flooring order is placed, we can arrange for your old flooring to be professionally removed. This includes:

  • Uplifting and disposing of the existing flooring (carpet, vinyl, laminate, etc.)
  • Removing old accessories like underlay, grippers, and carpet tacks
  • Inspecting the subfloor for any necessary preparation work
  • Sweeping and vacuuming the subfloor to leave it clean and ready for your new floor

Our trusted fitting partners will handle the disposal of the old materials in a safe and responsible manner. All of this is included within the Uplift & Removal fee, offering you complete peace of mind.

How long does it take to remove old flooring?

The time needed depends on the type of flooring and how it was fitted:

  • Carpet can usually be removed very quickly — often in less than 10 minutes for an average-sized room — and is typically done on the day of fitting.
  • Vinyl flooring that is perimeter stuck can also be uplifted within minutes.
  • Luxury vinyl and laminate flooring require more time, as each plank must be lifted individually.
    The duration may also vary depending on whether the room is empty and if any subfloor work is needed. Our Carpet Outlet home consultants will be able to assess everything during your home visit.

How much does it cost?

The cost will depend on the type and amount of flooring to be removed.

We’ll always provide a clear quote before any work is arranged, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Payment for the Uplift & Removal service is made directly to the fitting partner on the day your new flooring is installed.

We can also arrange professional fitting through our trusted partners, ensuring a perfect finish for your new carpet, vinyl, laminate, or artificial grass.
