Chasing a wall with tiles on it??

woodoo · 2013-03-02 21:31:12

I have to remove a couple of tiles in my utility room and chase a wall to add a new socket. Would going at the wall with a hammer drill loosen other tiles on the wall beside where i'm chasing.

Potentially yes also there is a huge risk of adjacent tiles cracking and or chipping

Cut down the 2 sides with a consaw or angle grinder and knock out the channel with hammer and chisel

As above, 4" grinder and tile cutting disc. you might even be able to cut along the grout lines, making for a much neater job and less hassle for replacing.
