HI, We want to replace the floor tiles in our porch - I assume this will damage the wall?
Will we be able to remedy this ourselves or will it mean someone has to come in and do a full wall skim?
Many thanks, Dusty

Re: Removing floor tiles
Unless you're using dynamite to remove the floor tiles there shouldn't really be a problem . The walls and floor can be treated as separate items . Use a bolster and hammer and lift without going mad at it , perhaps start with a drill to break up one tile and then work outwards.

Re: Removing floor tiles
You can use grout remover tool some people fuse angle grinder then hammer and bolster the first one is tricky the rest will be easier if you need crack a tile you can hammer on top hope that helps

Re: Removing floor tiles
Don't ponce around with a bolster get an SDS chisel drill see http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb278s ... 240v/97533 Buy the wider chisel (cheaper at Toolstation) and that will make it an easy job. I recommend these so often I should be on commission. Best £60 you can spend
