  • How to lift or remove existing loose floor tiles?

    I have had some tiles fitted recently which have not been fitted correctly which do not seem to have enough adhesive used. They are quite loose in some areas when they have any weight on them & can be quite wobbly in some cases. I want to lift off the tiles so they can be refitted with more adhesive. Is there any simple way for me to lift off the tiles without causing any damage to the tiles themselves and the floors beneath? Is there any tools that could be used for this specific purpose?

    Stair Runner carpet fitting

    Carpet fitter wanted to use spray glue to stick down carpet? Yes he was using grippers and stair pads and bars, but wanted to glue the whole lot down to stop it from moving and curling. He used spray glue when cutting the carpet which melted the gloss paint on the stairs and he left dirty boot prints embedded in the melted paint. He also cut the carpet outside in the communal car park without putting down any protection, is this the norm for carpet fitters or would there be alternatives to prevent such damage?
