Tiles that have removed the screed when removing the tiles - Tile Advice

[Leroy Brown]

Hi all I hope you are well. After a bit of advice. I am installing some plumbing under the floor in a kitchen which is getting re done. I did to the client I would take the tiles up do I can run my pipes etc. Any how, half the kitchen is 12mm plywood screwed down every 100 on to floorboards. I thought I had done the hard work getting the tiles off which was with a breaker in tiny little pieces. Any ideas on how to get the boards up as screw heads are covered with adhesive?

The other half of the kitchen is in an extension and had electric underfloor heating. Taking up these tiles has taken up a lot of the screed. What's the best thing to do there?

Thanks all.

You can sometimes get plywood to lever up with a chisel or crowbar under it, a bit at a time. Other that that you'll need to find the screws and get a Stanley blade into the crosses on top to remove some adhesive, then unscrew with drill. It is a never-ending joy the tiling game. There may be a better way, can anyone help? Then use levelling compound to get both areas flat again.
