    A Floor scraper:

    and lots of this:

    Perhaps a hot air gun to soften the glue.

    Mild heat like a fan heater or hair dryer and a floor scraper.

  • just to let anyone thinking of doing this we were able to remove the vinyl by scraping and it was hard work but using heat just produces noxious fumes.
