Apartment Magnesite Flooring Removal Before New Floors Go Down

Site issues to consider

• Apartment renovations stall when hidden magnesite is found under carpet, vinyl, or timber.
• Access windows, lifts, parking, noise rules, and waste handling can complicate small units.
• The slab may need grinding or levelling before the new flooring system is installed.

Planning the work

• We scope apartment access, floor area, topping condition, and handover requirements up front.
• Removal methodology is planned to reduce avoidable disruption in occupied buildings.
• The cleaned slab can be assessed for grinding, patching, moisture issues, and levelling needs.

If asbestos is suspected

Do not disturb material you suspect may contain asbestos. Arrange assessment, sampling and any asbestos-related work through appropriately qualified asbestos specialists before removal or renovation proceeds.

Common questions

Can magnesite be removed in an occupied apartment building?

Often yes, subject to access, building rules, work-hour restrictions, and safe waste handling. These items are checked during assessment.

Should I remove magnesite before ordering new floors?

You should confirm substrate requirements before installation. Many flooring systems need magnesite removed and the slab prepared first.
