Many tiles had lifted extensively after 27 years. I have now removed almost all the remaining tiles. Almost all of them were easy to remove without breaking.
It is about 4 m² in a small bathroom in the attic studio.

15 m² of floor tiles of the same type in a total of two guest WCs and two bathrooms show no weaknesses.

1) How should I proceed with the construction?
2) In the pictures, a gray substrate can be seen. Is that the screed?
3) I could also leave the work to the floor layer. Approximately how much does he charge for the removal?

4) Is it enough to remove the construction with a spatula, or is a milling machine needed?

One photo shows the transition to the parquet floor of the adjoining room.

Thank you

Are you sure that everything is okay with the substrate? If tiles lift after only 27 years and can be removed whole.....that would make me think. Moisture in the substrate?

Between the tiles and the build-up it was very dry. There is hardly any adhesive on the tiles (see photo). Only on one tile did some of the build-up remain. It was the last room to be tiled. Possibly the tiler ran out of adhesive and was sparing with it. However, a tenant once left the roof window open during heavy rain. A neighbor noticed it. But that was several years ago.

If the screed is fine, why should it be removed? What is your plan?
