    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...

    Tile removal

    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
