    It's easier to knock off the edges. There's less chance of breaking them as well than when getting it off the bottom. If the builder is doing it however, you have to consider if cleaning them up is cost effective.
    Ok thanks for the info, good to know. Yes the builder will be doing it all, so I’d be paying him for getting them suitable to re-lay again.

    It sounds like putting new down might be best, even if it’s more it might not be much. I’ve asked so waiting for estimates for both routes.
