    Hammer and bolster or sds drill with tile removing bit.....The tiles will quite possibly break when coming up though...

    Tiles will come up ok............2 part adhesive will be a git to remove.......even with something like a fein. Rubberised addy is'nt easy to get up

    Once you got the tiles up a very sharp chisel will lift the 2 part or get one of the proper scrapers form Trade tiler and extra blades. Takes a bit of effort but will come up clean.

    Ninja,
    Once the tiles are up (sweat and tears i'd imagine) if you use a tool like the Tileasy HD scraper the adhesive will come up ok. Very sharp though so only use it when you're calm.

    Their Bulldog scraper is more for big floors and more cement based products you could do more damage than good ie chipping other tiles. What two part are you using is it Bal or Topps if it is the Topps it seems to lift easier.

    As I have said if not to large an area get cheap chisels out of Focus, Argos etc or get a Heavy scrapper like this one at TradeTiler.Ltd

    You can get various ones from different merchants.

    I have used them and they work.
