Rotary hammer drill, B&Q about £50.00 ish for a very basic one. Be aware that the walls can be an absolute mess when stripping tiles and may need extensive prep work, make customer aware of this and how much it may cost if walls need dot and dabbed etc.

SDS Plus drill with roto stop. And of course, the tile chisel to go with it.

Bosch tools all the way for this one

Type it into Kelkoo and get the best web deals.

The chisel bit is about 2 inches wide and is off set, for the above

from experience I steer clear from B&Q tools.
Buy once -spend a bit more to get something decent -it will last longer

I have a 2kg bosch drill but it doesn't have enough blow for floor tile removal.
It is great for smaller wall tiles as it has variable force from the trigger.
A great buy was a 6kg titan drill from screwfix for £35 this removes floor tiles easier than the bosch due to the extra force, it also has a speed control operated from a dial so you can also use if for walls by turning the speed down. An equivalent blow bosch would cost approx £300.
