Lifting an old floor looks simple until you start: adhesive, nails, dust, a screed that comes up with the boards, and a pile of bulky waste that nobody will take away. We do the whole thing — lifting, cleaning the substrate and disposal — and leave the room ready for the new floor.
What we lift
- Solid parquet — nailed or glued to the substrate
- Laminate — floating, and quick to take up
- Board flooring — long planks, often glued to the concrete slab
- Engineered wood — glued or click-system
- Sports and industrial floors — gyms, halls, offices
We work with pneumatic hammers, demolition tools, hand bars and industrial vacuums, so the job is fast and the room stays as clean as this kind of work allows.

The per-square-metre rates cover taking off the covering itself — the tiles or the floor, the beading and the thresholds, bagged up and the room left clean. They do not cover what sits underneath: adhesive, bitumen, render, waterproofing or cement screed. Those cannot be priced honestly before someone has seen how thick the layer is, whether it is reinforced, whether there is underfloor heating in it and whether it is sound or crumbling — so we survey the job on site and agree that price with you first. The survey in Belgrade is free.
The price depends on the type of floor — laminate is fast, solid parquet is not — how much adhesive there is, the area, the floor of the building and whether the substrate needs cleaning for the new covering.
Working with dust control
For clients living in the flat while the work goes on, we work with dust extraction: the vacuum runs off the tool, we damp-wipe between stages, and the waste is bagged and sealed rather than carried loose through the stairwell. The neighbours barely notice.
Lifting and disposal as one job
The hard part of a renovation is not the floor, it is the waste. The city refuse service will not take old boards left beside a bin, and leaving them there earns a fine. We handle it in one run:
- lifting, cutting down and bagging the flooring
- loading into our vans — 4.3 × 1.9 × 1.9 m of load space
- the tip fee, included in the price
- proper disposal, not a pile next to your building
If old furniture is going too, we agree a combined price and come once. See junk removal and tile removal.
Frequently asked questions
What does lifting a floor cost?
Laminate from RSD 820 (EUR 7) per m², solid parquet from RSD 1,170 (EUR 10), board flooring from RSD 1,300 (EUR 11). Those rates cover taking off the covering itself; adhesive, bitumen and cement screed are separate work and are quoted after an on-site survey. Carrying out is charged per 30 kg bag, RSD 300 to 900 depending on the floor, and disposal is RSD 17,500 (EUR 150) per van of up to 900 kg with the tip fee included.
How long does a room take?
A laminate floor in a normal room is a few hours. Solid parquet glued to the slab, with the adhesive to come off as well, can take a full day.
Do you clean the substrate for the new floor?
If you want it. Say so when you ask for a quote, because it is separate work and it is what decides whether the fitter can start straight away.
Is it very dusty?
Less than you would expect. We run extraction off the tools and seal the waste in bags, which is what keeps the rest of the flat clean.
Where does the old flooring go?
To the municipal tip, with the fee included. Not beside the bins.
Can you do it urgently?
Usually yes, including weekends, at no surcharge.
