I've just started to remove old vinyl floor tiles in the kitchen with
a hammer and wall scraper as a bolster is a bit too thick to get under
the tiles. Is there a better method to doing this or am I going at the
best possible way? The other thing I need to get rid of is a black
type of material which looks like tar but is most probably adhesive
stuck to the concrete floor. Any suggestions?

In a way I should have listened to a mate and got the lock in laminate
flooring which looks like floor tiles but I prefer ceramic tiles
although the work has made me sweat a few litres this morning.



Actually, looking at the way these tiles are coming off i'm not sure if
they are vinyl as these just chip off in small bits when hitting them with
the hammer and wall scraper.
