Marley Floor Tiles

[curlycan]

Hi All
Just starting my first floor and have had to remove these tiles but the glue (which smells like bitumin ) seems to have soaked into the concrete. Does this need removing or is there a chemical I can use to remove it. Thankfully it's my own floor and not a customers.

thanks in advance
Phil

Remove as much as you can, some self levelling compounds are suitable for screding over once most this has been removed. You may need to hire and abrasive machine to aid in the removal.

If I have worked on sites that have had these tiles on the floor and know that some of these kinds of tiles can contain asbestos!

Thanks, didn't think there would be an easy fix
