RAF Cleaning

Restoring raised access floors by removing adhesive, extending lifespan, and reducing costs

Tackifier and Adhesive Removal for Raised Access Floors

Old tackifier and carpet tile adhesive can leave raised access floors in poor condition and unsuitable for new finishes.

Our raised access floor cleaning service removes adhesive residue from RAF panels on site, helping bring the floor back up to standard without unnecessary replacement. We use a combination of the right chemicals and floor machines rather than scrapers, which is quicker, cleaner, and far less rough on the panels.

For CAT A and CAT B fit-out projects, this can save time, reduce cost, and leave the floor ready for the next stage.

Why Tackifier Removal Matters

Old flooring often leaves behind tackifier and adhesive residue that needs to come off before new finishes can go down.

If it is left in place, it can affect the finish, make installation harder, and leave the floor in poor condition. Removing that residue properly helps get the panels clean, smooth, and ready for what comes next.

Benefits of Raised Access Floor Cleaning

Avoids Unnecessary Panel Replacement

RAF cleaning can bring raised access floor panels back up to a usable standard, helping avoid the cost and waste of replacing panels that do not need to be thrown away.

Less Risk of Damage Than Scraping

We use the right chemicals and floor machines rather than scrapers, which helps remove tackifier more cleanly and with less risk of damaging the panels.

Ready for New Finishes

Removing old tackifier and adhesive residue helps leave the floor cleaner, smoother, and better prepared for the next stage of the fit-out.

Suitable for CAT A and CAT B Fit-Outs

RAF cleaning works well on refurbishment and fit-out projects where the floor needs to be cleaned off and prepared for new finishes.

Helps Keep the Programme Moving

A quicker and more practical method helps get the floor ready for the next stage without creating unnecessary delays.

The work is completed on site, which helps avoid the extra time, disruption, and cost that can come with removing and replacing the floor.
