Hey guys!
I am doing a whole kitchen demo which has included removing some ugly green tiles from the wall. It has left behind a lot of adhesive. Given it’s a fairly sizeable area and over rendered brick, could I please have some advice on products or tools that would help me get ride of this the fastest?
I bought some of the blush pink subway tiles from bunnings to replace the green ones!
I have had asbestos testing done 
Good Afternoon @EllieBee
Yah to getting rid of the old tiles and even some more yahs to having a nice cleanish surface to work with
Ive only ever removed tiles off plasterboard and yeah ended up replacing plasterboard. 😕 Yours looks like its brick and concrete?
Have youtried using a paint scraper on the old glue? Even with a mallet to tap at it so its driven along the surface. If it is solidly set and not rubbery then potentially you could put new glue straight over it? (Its just an idea that ive seen people do, not sure how wise it is) I figure if its still holding strong after removing the old tiles then potentially it will stay that way. If its a rubbery glue then Id say it has to go.
So tools Id use,
Paint scrapper (maybe 5 - 7cm wide blade)
Mallet for tapping.
Wire brush for powered drill,
Saftey Specs for sure.
Probarly a mask.
