    I have a customer who wants 20+ cork tiles replacing in her kitchen floor, currently 25m2 area.
    I have to uplift and relay the exisiting aswell as new ones she has bought to replace the damaged/scratched ones.

    Never done this before with cork and just wondered is there anything to look out for?
    Come on you veterans dont be shy :cool:

    Oh man I remember Cork tiles there were an absolute nightmare to get up, never come across them any more thank God. Not heard of loose laid Cork tiles before?
    Even worse were Wicanders Cork tiles anybody remember them?
    They were like LVT'S with a Cork sandwich in the middle, everytime I laid them on a job I had to go back to sort out expanding/loose ones.
    Nightmare.
