as above , I have uplifted existing finger wood , removed the bitumen paper and hand scraped as best as possible. I would like to hire a buffer to remove remaining bitumen before dpm sandwiching the floor (its my own house) So i called into the local hire shop today , and the geezer Suggested a floor scabbler !! I was thinking more along the lines of a refina buffer with a diamond blade . But he says the scabbler will be fine on a floor screed ? Any suggestions guys Cheers nick
A scrabbler will pulverise your subfloor. Make sure you get some ear defenders and tell your neighbours to go out. Plus your going to fill your room with asbestos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A scabbler would do it, but possibly a bit overkill for the amount you want to remove and maybe a bit messy, personally, i would use a buffer with pcd blocks
I wouldn't bother trying to remove bitumen It's a horrendous mess and potentially can contain asbestos
