Reclaimed Flooring - Any Experience Of Parquet Tiles?

[humbersloop]

I'm looking at a couple of types of reclaimed floor and at the moment there's some parquet tiles on Gumtree that look very reasonable but would need cleaning up before relaying them. Not sure yet what adhesive they were laid with, have an enquiry in on that.

Firstly, any advice on doing that would be welcome - eg is it an awful or specialist job that's often not worth it? Secondly, never bought from Gumtree before so any thoughts on that would be welcome.

Thanks

If the old parquet was laid with bitumen adhesive, a tip for getting it off is to put the tiles in plastic bag in the freezer - it chips off more easily. Some advice from the professionals here..
