You can use a sds drill with roto stop and a decent chisel-

That will get most tiles off.

yup far faster than a lump hammr and bolster chisel!

You can get a cheapo on screwfix / Toolstation for £40, will do the job.

You need gloves and eye guard as the tiles bits can fly about and are sharp

You can get a SDS 80mm tile chisel bit on ebay, its angled so not the same the SDS chisels that come with the product
