Taking up of ceramic floor tiles - advise please

[karen2906]

Regarding my former post of having substandard ceramic tiles fitted to my kitchen floor. To take B & Q to the small claims court I will need to get a quote for having the tiles taken up and new ones fitted. Would a tiler take up the existing tiles or will I need to get in touch with a builder for this quote.

a tiler will take them up providing he wants the job

yes,if a tiler wants the job of laying your tiles he would lift the old ones and make good any damage to your floor,could be a bit costly,SORRY didnt read your previous thread,but depending on what your tiles are fixed onto it could be a pig of a job i.e concrete.But definately no need to employ a builder

The tiles are on concrete, about 8 sq. metres, how much do you reckon - roughly it would cost to take them up & make the floor good.. I need to throw a quote at B & Q
Thanks

Karen..also you might have to consider that the new batch of tiles could be a totally different colour code to the first lot....so in theory this might have to be a total re-tile...

i hope the kitchen was fitted and then the floor tiled otherwise there will be big problems.

Yes it was Brian. I do realise that all the tiles will have to come up - I dread it !!!!

8m of tiling on concrete SHOULD come up in a day....£120

May need to self level floor...................................£75

Retile in ceramic Tile............................................£2 00

= £395

Or for BnQ............................................... ...........£500


Oh...........plus disposal of old tile............................£50

Iye, for B&Q id quote high. They do us no favours selling poor quality tiles! CJ's estimate seems fair and should cover most unforseen problems.
