Service Overview
How Excellence Tilers helps with tile removal
See what matters before you request a quote, so you know what to send and what to expect.
What we help with
Tile removal for renovation and repair projects, including old floor tiles, wall tiles, adhesive, and preparation checks before new tiling. Your final quote depends on the surface condition, tile choice, room access, and finishing details.
Where we work
We help Cape Town clients by suburb, project type, and job details.
How we protect the finish
Every project should start with surface checks, set-out planning, and a clear explanation of what is included.
What you get
You get a clearer quote before work begins, including what may affect preparation, timing, and finish.
Before We Quote
What matters before old tiles are removed
These are the details that help us quote properly and avoid surprises once work starts.
Old tile removal can expose cracks, weak screed, damp areas, or old adhesive that must be handled.
Dust, access, disposal, and protection should be discussed before work starts.
New tiling can only start once the exposed surface is suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common client questions answered before you request a quote.
Can you remove old tiles?
Yes. We can remove old wall or floor tiles and review the exposed surface before new tiling starts.
Is tile removal dusty?
It can be. We explain access, protection, and cleanup expectations before the removal work starts.
Can new tiles be installed straight after removal?
Sometimes. If the surface needs repair, levelling, waterproofing, or drying time, that must be handled first.
