Is this glue or mould underneath tiles?

I've ambitiously decided I would rip out these tiles in my bathroom. These tiles don't get wet. I was wondering if this is just glue or glue and mould?

 

And how do I remove it?

Re: Mould?

Hi @jmillar,

 

It sounds like it would be a good idea to get the adhesive you have found tested regardless. If you've got any concerns about it being asbestos, then it is definitely a good idea to have it tested.

 

You can access resources from the Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency for guidance on safe practices. Prioritise safety by educating yourself and seeking professional assistance when needed.

Kind of a Big Deal

Re: Mould?

To my eyes it looks like a Dunlop premixed wall adhesive product? Dark in colour and dries with a 'sponge' like quality for flexibility.

Just a thought.

Cheers.
