My mother always used a blowlamp to get tiles off a wall. Play the flame in the centre of the tile for a few seconds and you will hear the tile pop away from the wall as the adhesive melts. Be careful, the tile will be very hot! I have used this method on more than one occasion and it worked every time although too much heat will crack the tile first. icon_biggrin.gif
