Removing tiles from PB!

[handyman77]

What is the best thing for removing tiles that are directly onto plasterboard!
Dont wonna leave big holes as the clientbwants it plastered?

Take the plasterboard off complete with tiles attached and reboard. even if you don't wreck the surface getting the tiles off all the fixings will be loose, its quicker to take it all off and start again.

if they are old tiles or were fitted in a new build there a small chance they may come off very easily. a lot of new builds dont prime and tile too early as they are in a rush so tiles come off dead easy.

Chances are though that the previous poster is right

you could try this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TOOL-...t=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item53ec1b5ba6

but i feel it would be quicker and proberly cheaper to change the board

Thanks PR! Probably gone change the board

Cheaper to replace the boards - otherwise waste hours trying to get the tiles off carefully, only to probably end up replacing the boards anyway.
