Timber and bamboo floor removal lifts hardwood, engineered timber and bamboo flooring, along with the adhesive holding it down, and prepares the subfloor for whatever comes next.

Timber and bamboo floors are bonded with some of the most stubborn adhesives in the trade, and direct-stick, floating and secret-nailed floors each behave differently. Our team uses ride-on and walk-behind scrapers to lift the boards efficiently, then grinds the subfloor to remove glue residue and ridges so it is flat and ready for new flooring. The whole process is dust-controlled, and all debris is removed.
What affects the cost of timber floor removal
Timber and bamboo floor removal is quoted on area and difficulty:
- The floor area and the type of timber or bamboo
- How the floor is fixed: floating, direct-stick or secret-nailed
- How much adhesive residue needs grinding off the subfloor
- Site access and the volume of waste
We measure the job and provide a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.
How long timber floor removal takes
A standard room or home of timber flooring is usually lifted and the subfloor prepped within a day or two. Larger areas and stubborn direct-stick adhesive take longer. Because we bring proper scraping and grinding equipment, the job moves far faster, and far more cleanly, than hand removal.
We remove hardwood, engineered timber and bamboo flooring from homes, units and commercial spaces, often alongside vinyl and carpet removal and tile removal when a whole floor is being replaced, and as part of a full residential strip out.
Strip It Out is a family-owned, fully licensed and insured team with more than seven years of flooring removal experience across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. We leave the subfloor genuinely ready for your new floor. Call for a free timber or bamboo floor removal quote.
