Hi, does anyone know of any specialist tiling tools that would make taking old tiles off quicker?

Cheers.

i presume by old tiles you mean total removal and not for repair etc.

sometimes i use a few old cheap wide wood chisels to get in behind the addy and pop it off, just go gentel . sometimes i bring in the big kango and frighten them off .
i took off a 4 foot square piece of tiling (skim came off wall) in one piece ,grout pefect. i left it at the back door for the customer to see when they drove in.

Yes total removal. I guess your customer was surprised to see that by his back door??

I have a large bucket trowel with a flat piece of steel welded to the trowel tang. Saves me hitting my knuckles altough with the photo below , all I did was slide the trowel behind and they all popped off.
