I am removing my kitchen floor tiles as there are unresolvable problems with floor movement and want to replace them with vinyl. How do I manage the removal & replacement where the tiles go under the units - cut them with an angle grinder along the edges of the units or try & go under them somehow?
 
Many kitchen unit plinths are removable, have you checked?
 
Yeah, I can take off the kickboards but there are some sections of the units that I cannot move - it's those bits I'm wondering about, better to try and revome the tiles from under them, then feed the vinyl underneath? Or cut the tiles straight down along the edges of the units...
 
Fein multi or similar tool...you are talking about the base unit edges that the kickboards are joined/screwed to...? Or I am getting this all wrong!!
 
Thanks, you're right, I don't have that particular tool but something similar. Any tips about cutting the tiles without damaging the much more delicate Kitchen units?

Couldn't you pout a thin coat of self leveler over and then vinyl over top, the gaps left by the tiles are never gonna be filled with the vinyl and it's going to end up being a place for dirt to collect and look a bit rubbish really.
