removal

Help, please. Last year we tiled our bathroom and en-suite floors. We used the correct flexible cement and grout, but there has been so much cracking that they will have to come up. Is there an easy way to remove the cement from the floorboards? Many thanks, in advance. From Marion, Billingham.

Hi there, We recently had a black limestone patio laid and unfortunately there is a fair amount of residue left on it from the excess grout and cement. Sadly I tried an acidic cleaner on a tile (fortunately not in main view) which obviously corroded the tile and left it grey-ish. My husband...

This is linked to my earlier question about the notion of emulsion paint as a primer. I sanded 70% of the area of where the first line of tiles were going, then stuck on the tiles. This was a test, naturally. I had four tiles up, and let each one set for different periods of time ranging from 15...

I am trying to remove kitchen tiles (approx 100 years old) that have been stuck to the walls with what looks like concrete. Some are falling off really easily while others are not budging. I'm using a hammer and bolster and was hoping for some tips to make this arm aching job a bit easier. Cheers
