Removing Floor Tiles From Yellow Tongue Sheeting
Previous owner has tiled straight onto yellow tongue floor sheeting.
Would like to remove the tiles and potentially go over the top with T&G hardwood flooring.
Any ideas to lessen work and damage to surface ? Or am I doomed to replace the whole floor ?
Thanks

I'll let you know tomorrow. I'm having the "professionals" do the job at my place, simply because it is a huge job and I don't have the time or inclination to do it myself - not to mention the ability to get 2 tonnes of broken tiles to the dump.
I tested an area, and it seems that a rotary hammer drill with a broad chisel would easily break the seal between the tile and the yellowtongue without destroying the floor - although it may depend on what type of adhesive was used.
Regards
Scott

Well, they've lifted the tiles (didn't take long at all with a big AEG electric jackhammer and a 4" blade) and now they're sanding off the glue. With all the noise going on, I'd say that the sanding is the harder part of the process, and not something that I would have been able to do myself. There's masonite going over the yellowtounge, so I guess it doesn't need to be too well finshed.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Regards
Scott
