    ripped tiles up and adhesive won't budge

    Postby sammieboo56 » Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:20 pm

    hi guys hope someone can help. i bought cheapy adhesive tiles for my hall and they've been down 2-3 yrs. due to a move i had to rip all tiles up. the tiles came up no probs but now the adhesive is causing a bit of a problem, as my house is rented by a housing association it needs to be left spotless, they will rip tiles up and charge me so i want to get it done myself to save pennies you know how it is. any advice will a steamer work on it? or white spirit or summit.

    thanks Sammie xx
