If particularly stubborn you could use an flat SDS bolster type chisel or chipping hammer with bolster etc. This will probably destroy most of the tiles though, if that is a concern. I removed some with a chipping hammer a few years back because they were /amazingly/ well stuck on. Alex. |

In one or two places I had to use an angle grinder, e.g. where a wall had been built over some existing tiles. Made a terrible mess though. -- Michael Chare |
