just made a closer inspection of my roof /solarium tiles,some are close together with hardly any gap and some would take a drill bit, so it looks like angle grinder for some and a drill bit for others,nothing ever straight forward,i think my tiles must have been laid after they the builders,had been for M.D.D and a liter of wine,thanks for the tips ……..daz wrote:Reply to glassman, if the info is of use, the reason why I used an angle grinder was for the very reason of not having a wide groove for grout. With the tiles butted up to close to each other there was barely any room to get a substantial amount of grout to the depth of in between the tiles, hence why the original grout probably did not stay where it should have. For me, as it turned out, the look afterwards was rewarding, knowing I had done a thorough job without retiling, and as it’s also been suggested, is very labour intensive. Good luck in what ever you decide.

I would end up replacing more tiles than I save lol. My aim and hands wouldn’t be steady enough to use that style. Plus with a small drill bit they would be snapping easily too.
Also, regardless of the irregularities in my tiles spacing, I found that the angle grinder left consistent parallel sides of the groove, that are simply the width that of the grinder steel disc, approx 3 or 4 mm. So it actually gave the appearance that my tiles had been laid better than they actually had.

I did think I would need to be careful but certainly you could end up making it worse!
