Paint & Epoxy Removal in Brisbane CBD & Inner City

Paint and epoxy removal strips old coatings, including epoxy, polyurethane, floor paint and sealers, from concrete and masonry back to a bare, sound surface ready for a new finish. Strip It Out provides paint and epoxy removal across the Gold Coast and Brisbane for garages, warehouses, retail floors and industrial slabs.

Coatings on concrete are designed to bond hard, so removing them properly takes the right equipment. We use diamond grinding and surface preparation methods to strip epoxy, polyurethane, paint and sealers without damaging the slab, then leave the concrete ground flat and profiled for the next coating or floor. The process is dust-controlled with HEPA extraction, and all debris is removed.

What affects the cost of paint and epoxy removal

Coating removal is quoted on area and how tough the coating is:

• The floor area being stripped
• The coating type and thickness: a single floor paint versus a built-up epoxy system
• How well the coating is bonded and the slab's condition
• The surface profile the next coating requires

We assess the floor and provide a clear, fixed quote before starting.

How long paint and epoxy removal takes

A residential garage floor is usually stripped and prepped within a day. Large industrial and warehouse floors are quoted on area and staged to suit the site. Dust-controlled grinding means surrounding areas stay clean throughout.

We remove coatings from garage floors, warehouse and factory slabs, retail and commercial floors, and driveways. Paint and epoxy removal pairs closely with our concrete grinding service and is often part of a warehouse and industrial strip out.

Strip It Out is a family-owned, fully licensed and insured team with more than seven years of coating removal and floor preparation across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. We hand over a bare, profiled slab ready for its new finish. Call for a free paint and epoxy removal quote.

Strip Out Services in Brisbane CBD & Inner City

Brisbane's CBD and inner-city ring is South East Queensland's busiest commercial strip-out market, and Strip It Out travels up from the Gold Coast to service it — the city centre, Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, West End, Newstead, Teneriffe, New Farm and the inner-east suburbs through to Bulimba and Coorparoo.

Commercial defits and make-goods

The inner city runs on commercial tenancy turnover. Offices around Queen Street, Eagle Street and Spring Hill, retail across the Valley and South Brisbane, and the dense hospitality scene in Fortitude Valley and West End all generate constant end-of-lease defit and make-good work. Our commercial strip-out and shop and office defit services are built for exactly this: scoping the works to the lease's make-good clause, coordinating with building and centre management, and working after hours where a tenancy or trading neighbours require it.

Inner-city residential

The inner ring is also some of Brisbane's most valuable residential property. New Farm, Teneriffe, Bulimba and Hawthorne are full of heritage worker's cottages and converted warehouses where renovation is constant, and apartment work is common. These jobs call for careful, dust-controlled bathroom and kitchen strip-outs, tile removal and non-structural wall removal — and, in apartment buildings, body-corporate-aware planning around lifts, loading docks and noise hours.

Urban access, handled

Inner-Brisbane jobs come with urban realities — restricted parking, lift bookings, building-management sign-in, tight loading windows. We plan access before we arrive and schedule around it, so a CBD strip-out runs as cleanly as a suburban one.
