Afternoon all, Can I please just canvas you all on the best way to remove old adhesive when removing tiles. Do you have any tips and methods please? new to it all so all advice appreciated. Thanks
Plasterboard - Unless the tiles were badly fixed in the first place or tubbed adhesive was used, you can pretty much guarantee that you will have to replace the board rather than just remove the adhesive
Concrete floor - SDS with chisel attachments followed by scraper
Wooden floor - scraper
Plaster walls - SDS if very tough, but usually scraper with new blade will suffice
Is there any truth that soaking the adhesive with water makes it easier?
Also I have read that on certain surfaces a wall paper steamer makes it easier??
