how to remove slate tiles

Jan 28, 2007 2 Replies

We have a large area of floor, about 40m2 covered with slate floor tiles about 40cm x 60cm. We would like to remove these so that we can replace with a part wooden/ part slate floor. We would welcome any ideas/ suggestions about the best way to go about removing these.



How thick are they? How well stuck down? If they are fairly thick and not particulary well stuck a spade is probably your quickest method. It also depends on what percentage you want to reuse.

brute force and ignorance, or possibly brick acid will dissolve enough mortar and grout
