[QUOTE="bureaucrazy, post: 962188, member: 10458"] Thanks Dave. The photo colours are orangey cos of the lighting but the stuff on the lintel is grey and looks like tile adhesive but I can't be sure what it is. I thought bonding was a pinkybrown colour. It is not as soft as bonding. You may be right though. it also has wavy grooves running along it. They must have used some sort of toothed trowel when it was applied. The wavy white lines look like another sort of adhesive (tubbed?) left in the wavy grooves when old tiles were removed. I can't remember what was there before the builder ripped it all out. I think the best option is to get it removed but there will likely be a thin layer still stuck to the rough concrete surface. Not sure if that can be just primed and tiled on of if as you suggest a board should go over it. Surely that would only add more weight though? I think the concrete is too hard to drill and screw.
