How to remove slate tile flooring?

[Kelli-H]

We are revamping our pantry and wanting to remove the slate flooring.

Is this something we can do ourselves, or is it best to hire a professional for the job.

We will be hiring a professional for the rest of the house as its a large area, but that's a while off, whereas the pantry we can do ourselves.

I was wondering if a rotary hammer drill with sds chisel bit would help move things along?

I have found that I can manually chisel away at the mortar but obviously that is time consuming and labour intensive.

I would value your thoughts on this.

Thank you

Hello @Kelli-H 

My best advice is to make sure that your rotary drill is compatible with the SDS chisel. It will definitely expedite the removal of the mortar bed. I highly recommend giving it a go.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
