Hi there,
I want to tile my small kitchen floor, it is around 7-8 square metres and has an existing sheet vinyl flooring that has been glued directly onto the concrete sub-floor. I have purchased porcelain tiles (600mm X 600mm) from Topps Tiles, and they advised that with a specific adhesive the tiles could be placed directly over the vinyl. However, I did some research online and I've seen some advice stating that the Vinyl should be removed.
I attempted to take up some of the Vinyl but it was very time consuming, and the glue is very thick almost like rubber, and even with a scraper it was very difficult to remove it from a small section of the concrete floor.
I have attempted to book a tiler, but all are fully booked for the next few months. I was hoping I could get some advice as to if I should remove the Vinyl floor, or can it be tiled over. It is level expect for one high spot and was installed new around 7 years ago so is in good condition.
