removing tiles..!

[ninjatiler]

Hi guys i need to remove a handful of tiles i have just layed, ceramics on to a wooded floor using 2 part flexi not grouted any tips please

[robbo]

Hammer and bolster or sds drill with tile removing bit.....The tiles will quite possibly break when coming up though...

[Dave]

Why do you have to take them up NJ..?...a hammer and nicker would be best for just a few....

[ninjatiler]

This floor would have been perfect if i wasnt so stupid i tiled the first half as normal then the second half i started 0ne row across the top of the room and then tiled from that row down instead continuing from the tiles i had just layed..result big grout lines on the bottum row where the tiles have run out.....hope this makes sense to you and thanks for the replys...also will the addy be differcult to remove with it being of a rubber content...

Tiles will come up ok............2 part adhesive will be a git to remove.......even with something like a fein. Rubberised addy is'nt easy to get up

I can imgaine cj, thinking about buying a large floor scrapper see if that will do the trick

Once you got the tiles up a very sharp chisel will lift the 2 part or get one of the proper scrapers form Trade tiler and extra blades. Takes a bit of effort but will come up clean.

Ninja,
Once the tiles are up (sweat and tears i'd imagine) if you use a tool like the Tileasy HD scraper the adhesive will come up ok. Very sharp though so only use it when you're calm.

Their Bulldog scraper is more for big floors and more cement based products you could do more damage than good ie chipping other tiles. What two part are you using is it Bal or Topps if it is the Topps it seems to lift easier.

As I have said if not to large an area get cheap chisels out of Focus, Argos etc or get a Heavy scrapper like this one at TradeTiler.Ltd

You can get various ones from different merchants.

I have used them and they work.
