hi all, we have a few amtico tiles on the floor that have lifted, the floor has been down for about 12years , i havent messed with it yet but i get the feeling they will pop out at some stage, is it something i could do myself, buy some amitco glue lift and stick them down or replace the tiles completely?

Doubtful that you'll be able to lift and re-lay the Amtico - but you could give it a dry run to try and re-lay it?
It would be worthwhile you finding out the cause of it lifting eg hot weather, UFH hot spot, structural etc.
Probably a case of replacement tiles.

Check the edges of the tile field to look for contact and buckling.

i have spare tiles or do you think its worth getting someone in to fix
 
Either way. If you are handy you could DIY it with a hired hot air gun - otherwise get a floorperson in. You will probably be charged for half a day.
