Has anyone got any advice for tile onto asbestos type floor tiles which are well stuck down? Last time I came across these I took them up but this client wants them to stay put!! Cheers in advance!

If they are well fixed and not moving I wouldn't go near them.
Tell him to call the removal people in.

Ray, I haven't got any picks but I'm there tomorrow so will take one if I remember. I'm not 100% they are asbestos it's just something i have been told in the past. They look just like vinyl tiles but apparently they can have asbestos in them. I'm not too fussed about that it's just if the tiles stay down ok when tiled on top of that concerns me.

I did one couple of years back. 25m2 and I covered them all in a thin layer of SLC.
