Hello everyone,
I would like to hear your opinion on how long you think it would take to remove old floor tiles in the kitchen and hallway (estimated). The kitchen area is 13.85 m² (149 ft²) and the hallway is 14.21 m² (153 ft²). We plan to install laminate or vinyl flooring in both rooms.
My second question is how time-consuming and complex it would be to install water- or gas-based underfloor heating in an older house built in 1957, specifically in the living room, dining room, hallway, and study.
I am attaching two photos of the hallway and kitchen showing the current tiles.
What would be the most cost-effective way to dispose of old tiles, old radiators, and the removal of an old bathroom (3 m² / 32 ft²)? I am considering a medium-sized car trailer, as I think the rental cost might be cheaper than a medium-sized container.
I would really appreciate your answers.
Thank you in advance.

It always depends on many factors, as mentioned above, such as the mortar, whether you already live there and first have to spend hours sealing everything off against dust, etc. And of course, the craftsmanship skills...
Good luck!

It really depends, but I would say more like 2-3 days rather than 7-8.
About three years ago, we removed around 40m² (430 sq ft) of tiles in half a day. There were three of us, and we had a good Hilti. Most of the tiles came off pretty easily, but in the guest bathroom there were very thick tiles set in a thick bed of mortar, which was quite a tough job.
A manageable bathroom with two layers of tiles up to the ceiling was also done in half a day.
