Paint & Epoxy Removal in Brisbane West

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.

Part of our broader internal strip out and demolition services — see the hub page for the Queensland regulatory framework, process, cost factors and contractor vetting checklist.

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 West

Brisbane's western suburbs form one of the city's most established residential corridors, stretching from the inner-west character belt of Paddington, Bardon and Toowong out through the Mid-West to the Centenary Suburbs along the Brisbane River. Strip It Out services the entire western corridor, with bathroom and kitchen renovations and full-home strip outs across the region's predominantly older housing stock.

Inner-West Character Homes

Auchenflower, Bardon, Milton, Paddington, Red Hill, St Lucia and Toowong contain some of Brisbane's most renovation-active streetscapes. The area is dominated by Queenslander cottages, post-war workers' homes and 1960s to 1970s brick veneers, all of which require careful strip out work. Heritage and character-overlay zones are common in Paddington and Red Hill, so structural elements like timber frames and original cornices are preserved during demolition where required.

We test for asbestos in any home built before 1990 and coordinate with builders and architects on heritage-sensitive strip outs. Timber floor removal in older Inner-West homes often involves layers of bonded adhesive that need professional ride-on scraping and substrate grinding.

Mid-West Family Suburbs

The Mid-West corridor — Ashgrove, Chapel Hill, Fig Tree Pocket, Indooroopilly, Kenmore, Kenmore Hills, Taringa and The Gap — is dominated by larger family homes on bigger blocks. Many are 1970s and 1980s brick homes now undergoing major kitchen, bathroom and full-home renovations. The Gap and Kenmore Hills in particular have a very active renovation market driven by upgrade demand from established residents.

Our most common Mid-West job is the full kitchen plus bathroom plus flooring strip out as part of a whole-home refresh, typically 3 to 5 days on site with HEPA dust extraction and floor protection in place.

The Centenary Suburbs

Jamboree Heights, Jindalee, Middle Park, Mount Ommaney, Riverhills, Seventeen Mile Rocks, Sinnamon Park and Westlake make up Brisbane's Centenary Suburbs along the western reach of the Brisbane River. Originally developed in the 1970s as part of the Centenary master plan, these suburbs are now seeing widespread renovation activity as the original homes reach their first or second renovation cycle.

We service the entire Centenary corridor with full residential strip outs, kitchen and bathroom demolitions and concrete grinding for new floor preparation, with consistent access to large blocks and double-driveway worksites.

Travel and Coordination

Brisbane West is approximately 80 to 90 kilometres from our Gold Coast base via the M1, Gateway Motorway and Western Freeway. We schedule full days on site and mobilise the right equipment for each job, whether that is HEPA extraction for tile removal or ride-on scrapers for timber floor lift-outs.
