Vinyl Floor tiles - remove or not

[Kimberley88]

Hi

I have just removed the floor tiles from the kitchen and underneath are vinyl floor tiles stuck to a bitumen floor, they are stuck well and as the kitchen floor is not level I want to screed it.

Do I need to get the vinyl tiles up or can I screed on top of them, the tiles came up really easily which I guess was because they were stuck to the vinyl.

Help and ideas appreciated.

See this and click onto "Tiling over existing floor coverings" I know it said floor tiles but floor screed will have the same effect.

Thanks Masona,

Looks like its down on the knees and get scraping.

The tiles should be easy to lift by applying a little heat, hairdryer might be safer to do.
