How would you tackle this?

[Martino]

Now then guys just a quick one...How would you tile this....The tiles are absolutly solid as a rock and pretty flat for there age......Tile straight over??

 

[Dougs Third Go]

I'd lift them, but that's just my opinion.

 

[Martino]

These are curently flush with the existing floor boards....why would you lift them if they are a solid base?..if you life them you could cause all sorts of damage to the under concrete...probs have to slc to floor board height and then tile?

 

[Andy Allen]

is there a damp course under them?

 

[Saltire69]

You did ask

 

[EverDon Tiling]

I would rip them up aswell I don't agree with tiling over tiles but that's just my opinion.

 

[Bubblecraft]

I'd lift them. SDS will bring them up in jig time

 

[kilty55]

i would lift them as well

 

[Martino]

I Doubt there is damp proof under as its on the 1st floor lol...just really curious why everyone seems to want to lift them when they are solid?

 

[kilty55]

whats this room going to be martino ? to be honest it looks filthy i would remove them and re prep

 

[charlie1]

Lift them with SDS (1 hour (MAX)), Lay 2 bags slc (guestimate)... Go home and have your dinner, back out next morning and tile, grout up by 12 ish (guestimate), fit a nice transition strip and get your cash. Take the wife out for some lunch, then go home and sleep like a champion!

Charlie1 has written a 'how to do the job correctly' and now he feels.....EPIC! lol....

 

[gamma38]

I'm with everyone else, lift them, I don't see the point of ever going over tiles no matter how solid they feel.

 

[Ajax123]

I think you should leave them down but only cos that is what you want to hear.....

 

[Ian norris]

I would take them up and then you could redo that pipework with copper and hide it.
