Many tiles have lifted extensively after 27 years. I have now removed almost all the remaining tiles. Nearly all of them could be removed easily without breaking.
The affected area is about 4 m² (43 sq ft) in a small bathroom in the attic studio.
15 m² (161 sq ft) of floor tiles of the same type in a total of two guest toilets and two bathrooms show no problems at all.
1) How should I proceed with the construction layers?
2) In the pictures, there is a gray substrate. Is that the screed?
3) I could also leave the work to the flooring installer. What would be the approximate cost for tile removal?
4) Is it sufficient to remove the layers with a scraper, or is a grinder needed?
One photo shows the transition to the parquet flooring in the adjacent room.
Thank you
