Default Removing ceramic tiles from Plasterboard walls?

Usually best not to bother or try... just rip the tiled plasterboard down
and replace.

Beware "Paramount" style plasterboard walls - they would certainly not stand
this type of treatment (2 bits of plasterboard with egg-crate cardboard
filling).
We have these in 1970s build .


Ah..yes..

Good point.

Trouble with tiled board, is that it usually rips the paper off
*selectively*.

Cost of skimming to an acceptable standard is more than replacing the skin.

Except as you point out, if it hasn't any structure behind.
