How do i remove a bathroom carpet that has been glued to the floor as i want to put lino down

[scotcat]

I have a bathroom carpet which is glued solidly to the floor. I want to remove it and put textured non slip lino down

[rowanwitch]

pull up what you can then attack the glue with a hot air stripper and a scraper

What type of floor is it?

Don't know what the brands would be in the U.K., but here in the U.S. one would find wall-paper stripper at the DIY store, either in a premix jug or a mix-required bottle. At any rate, warm the mixture up in a throw away pan or bucker, using a spray bottle or garden sprayer, spray it on top of the offending carpet until it's quite wet. Let it set for an hour or so and then, using a pair of pliers (no, not two airplane pilots from Puerto Rico) pull up a corner and keep pulling. Once it's up, use more spray to remove remaining glue...

Thanks all, the dremel tool looks fab but i'll try pulling up and doing the heatgun and scraper method first, tis not a huge space. The wee bit floor i can see looks good underneath (wooden)
