Cork Tiles

[ummmm]

Does anyone know how to get these dreadful things off the wall. I've been using a chisel but it's bloody hard work. Is there an easier way??

Please someone tell me there is..... :-(

[ummmm]

Thank you Zak.....

Do you think you'll have to go to the bother of removing all the glue if the wall will have to be replastered then tiled???

[ummmm]

Bummer......

I've had to stop as my knuckles are bleeding and I'm getting blood on the walls.

As some plaster has come away in may places I think it might be easier to just knock the plaster back.

just try not to damage the board underneith when removing skim. Any good DIY shop will sell a 6" scraper. Is has an 18" long handle and 6" wide disposable stanley sharp blades in. Absolutly brilliant piece of kit.

Im in the carpentry trade - mainly fitting kitchens so use it a lot for removing wall tile and soft floor tile adiesive.

Makes short work of any scraping job.

Cheers toleman.

There isn't any board underneath. It's like a layer of dusty plaster on top of a concrete looking plaster.

Tried that.....!!!

He's at work all day and I'm not at the moment so it seems only fair.

I have left him some other jobs to do........!!!!

[ummmm]

I could just burn the house down and claim on the insurance. It might be easier....!!!!
