removing tiles in conservatory

[robe_ff7]

Hi everyone,


There are some radiators in my conservatory (2 in total). I was wanting to replace these terracotta styled tiles. But im a little hessitant of damaging the pipes because i can feel the tiles warm up when the radiators come on for the entire house.


If I dig these floor tiles up what would i expect to find? Are these copper radiators pipes poured around concrete as part of the subfloor? What is the best way to replace these tiles without damaging the pipes?

I was hoping to dig up the tiles with an sds drill with the chisel funtion.

It will most likely be grout around the pipes.
The grout should loosten off when you get the sds under the adjacent tile.

It's only a few tiles. Might be easier with a bolster laid almost flat. Then sds the rest
