floor adhesive removal - TilersForums.com

[Chris Gibbs]

a builder has attempted to tile a floor with 800 x 800 porcelain tiles. no expansion joints, no anti fracture matting no back buttering... well as you can imagine the floor has failed. ive removed all the tiles, but the adhesive is a barsteward to remove. what machine would you recommend for removal?

Is levelling over it an option?

If it's well stuck , level it

cant as it needs to run under big bi fold doors

I think a scabbler is the best option...

If you know a screed company, some offer a Sanding service, I used one on a big floor that failed and I got called into to re-tile.

Are the bifolds not trimable

Why if it's not possible ok , but if it is chippy for half a day is cheaper than a floor grinder plus Labour

3 sets of them, 3m wide each. Plus self levelling cost ranging from 25mm deep to 10mm deep.
