    Floor tile cement removal.

    Help, please. Last year we tiled our bathroom and en-suite floors. We used the correct flexible cement and grout, but there has been so much cracking that they will have to come up. Is there an easy way to remove the cement from the floorboards? Many thanks, in advance. From Marion, Billingham.
