Hello,
we've got approx 60 sqm of floor tiles that have had keracoll fugalite liquid ceramic grout laid down. the colour of the grout looks patchy, we think because of differences in texture due to application. thankfully tiles are big (900x450mm), grout is 3 mm thick. please can you advise on the neatest, most time efficient way of removing this grout so we can re apply to get a uniform finish?
any advice is much appreciated. Cheers.
 
Get yourself an Exact saw. They sell them on ebay.
They look a bit gimmicky, but i've seen them in action and they are really quick, plus they have a really neat vacumm attachment for doing it dust less. The blade has a depth stop so even if the tiles have under floor heating the cutter they won't get cut.
Great piece of kit.

How much are the blades for them.....
 
Dunno, have a look on ebay etc. Th guy using it says they last much longer than the fein blades. I'll certainly buy one when this kind of job comes my way.

Cheers bugs183. will this work with the liquid ceramic grout? cheers.
 
I've got a worx handycut (similar to the exact saw ) and it's the dogs at this kind of work. I do a lot of grout removal jobs as most other tilers avoid them and there's good money in it. With this tool its easy and attach a hoover and there's no mess either. Every tiler needs one of these bad boys!!!
