My "friend", who's a bit of a DIY pillock, glued cork tiles to the floorboards with evo stick because he couldnt be bothered to put hardboard down, could anybody suggest the easiest method of getting some of them up after 25 years to do a repair job? Heat, solvent, BFI? I'll pass the answers on to my "friend".

Hire a Floor Tile Lifter machine
Bit of an overkill wouldn't you say? for just some tiles.
To the OP if its the old *Evostick* thats a bugger of a glue to soften if its took well to the tiles.
Me thinks its a ripup job and lay the boarding. :-(
Nope. Having tried to remove only 10 sq ft of them previously with a bolster chisel I finfd the machine superb in it's function
Going to those extremes why not just set fire to them ;-^
Following up to Mr Alun Davies
my "friend" has removed two with a chisel and it was a bloody pain, I didnt know such a machine existed. I mean he didnt know.
