Removing 4 odd kitchen floor tiles !!!

Post by Christof »

Hi,

I have 4 odd tiles under where my old boiler used to be in the kitchen, now it has been removed I would like to get these up and replace them with the same as the rest of the room....

Is there any safe way of getting these up without vracking the surrounding tiles ?

Thanks

Drill each tile in the centre and remove all the grout from around them.

You can then break them out using a large screwdriver by inserting it in the hole that you drilled in the centre. You may also need a chisel and hammer to break them out.
