Floor coverings and access hatch – how Q-Bot inserts the robot in the void?

The robot will be inserted through a small access hatch created in your floor (300 x 400mm). Our team of surveyors and installers are fully trained up to take up bare floorboards, carpet and laminate floorings, and replace it and make good at the end of the job.

By creating an incision in the floorboards, we will lift two up to create access to the underfloor space.

Carpets can be easily lifted and the bare floorboards under them.

Laminate flooring can be lifted if it has a beading. If the laminate is under the skirting board, we may need to create an incision along the skirting board to lift the laminate.

In some cases, Q-Bot can access the underfloor space via an alternative access hatch. Depending on the flooring, you may have a loose bit of the flooring under the stairs that can be lifted (sometimes near the fuse box).

You may find a gap to the void space near the stairs of your house.

If your kitchen has titles, it may have a different type of flooring in the kitchen units.

However, Q-Bot’s team cannot lift tiles, hard wood, glued engineering floorboards, glued carpet, and glued laminate. Therefore we will ask you to make your own arrangements to have these lifted prior to the Floor Health Survey and installation.
