Plan the complete assembly
Prepare a sound surface for the next finish.
We remove existing tile and prepare the exposed surface for the next finish. The scope starts with the floor or wall construction, bonded layers, access and the required finished height. We plan dust control, protection, debris handling and suitable patching or flattening before new tile work begins. Concealed damage or materials requiring specialist assessment are identified separately before further work.
For a shower replacement, send photos of the current enclosure and describe any leaks or loose tile. The installation plan should address the underlying assembly before a new finish is selected.
We agree on protection, removal, debris handling and the required substrate condition before work starts.

A project-specific local brief
What should be checked before tile removal & surface preparation in Gatineau?

Common questions
Prepare before requesting a quote.
Use the answers as a starting point and confirm the complete installation method for the actual property and product.
What should I discuss before planning tile removal & surface preparation in Gatineau?+
Start with approximate tile area and photographs, floor or wall location and known substrate, finish planned after removal. In Gatineau, the conversation should also cover existing water damage and substrate repairs and shower drain location and floor slope. For this project type, confirm floor and wall tile removal, adhesive and mortar residue removal, work-area protection and dust control.
Can I request tile removal & surface preparation from Tiling.ca in Gatineau?+
Yes. We provide tile removal & surface preparation in Gatineau. You work directly with Tiling.ca for your project. Availability is confirmed for the specific scope and schedule.
Can I book tile removal without new installation?+
Yes. We can quote removal and preparation as a separate scope. Tell us the existing tile area, substrate if known, access route and the finish planned next so we can agree on the condition in which the surface will be left.
Does removing tile leave a floor ready for new tile?+
Not always. Removal can reveal cracks, loose layers, moisture damage or uneven areas. We assess the exposed substrate and confirm the repairs or preparation needed before the next installation.
Does the quote include disposal?+
Debris handling, removal from the property and disposal are identified in the written quote. Building access, elevator bookings, parking and disposal arrangements affect the scope.
