Hi everyone. First of all, I hope I've chosen the most appropriate sub for this post - if not, please let me know. I'd like to tackle these tile sills and I'd be grateful for any advice at all, as I have no experience at all with this sort of thing. The specific questions I have are: How can I avoid damaging surrounding brickwork when removing the old tiles and mortar? Is there a specific type of mortar that I should be using for this job (e.g. do I need to worry about using something that would expand and cause damage)? This is what I've found so far, mainly by reading this post from @MortarThePoint (thank you): Stagger the layers (broken bond) Use a baton to set the angle minimum 40mm overhang As I said, I'd be grateful for any advice at all, beyond the specific questions that I've asked. If anyone knows of any instructional material that would help, please point me in that direction - I've not been able to find anything. Thank so much, Ed
