The biggest factor as to the success of this is how was the UFH installed? Was it immersed in self levelling compound prior to tiling? If so then I give you a 50/50 chance of success... All dependant on other factors too like how long the cement adhesive has been curing? Was the slc primed then tiled? What adhesive bla bla bla...

best set way to go about it, do not attempt to get chisel under tiles and lift!!! Hammer the tiles surface and lift small pieces. Watch those fingers though, wear gloves!

I can answer most of that, the plywood was coated a few times in some solution that was given with the heating mats, its called fastheat by prowarm to reduce heat loss. the mat was put onto of that then she laid quite a thick layer of flexi adhesive suitable for underfloor heating , its called kwik flex grey tile adhesive, the floor was laid was week tues and weds , hope this helps

Ok, ok, did she spread the kwik flex over the mat, then allow to set, then back to lay tiles?

I would say no, she covered it completely then laid tiles, but I need to check this, shes just made me an offer, that she will give me some money not sure if allowed to say how much to get someone to remove all tiles and if mat damaged no come back or she will come and remove them carefully herself, although shes got injuries, im thinking whether to meet her half way and get walls removed by someone and floors by her

shes saying she tiled over adhesive fairly quickly , so does that make it easier or harder to remove, do I let her in house to remove all these tiles lol is the question ive got to decide now

Yes, id her in to remove tiles however, how does she expect to settle the overall dispute? You will now need to buy more tiles / materials. Is she going to pay for this? If yes then let her get the tiles off.
