Hard graft is they are well and truely stuck! a decent hand scrapper and a free day!

as you could probably gather, im not that clued up on boilers, each to their own, i suppose! so why I thought i'd try here, so if I am being a little uneducated in the boiler department, and simple question rather than a sarcastic one may help?

Would that be ordinary Mick? or Mick Dundee?

The hot water is switched on on the boiler, but when i turn the taps on to run a bath, it runs cold for 5 mins, then finally goes warm, not hot. but then runs warm for a while then slowly goes cold again. its driving me mad, how hard is it to just get hot water? its a combi bolier if that helps?

that'll do me! saves me grouting the bleeding thing again! thanks

Just thought, when we lift amtico/karndean tiles, we heat them up first, makes it a bit easier. Not sure if it will work with your tiles, but you could give it a go with the wife hairdryer! long shot! :D

lol there is no quick and easy way to lift your tiles! haha pure solid elbow grease, or just re-ply over them! actually, you said it was originally plyed, then lift that ply, then re-ply with new ply. But your old ply will be ruined, if you try to take just the tiles off.
