I'm no tile pro, but that sounds like a real ballache. Even if you do manage to remove them without breaking them, there will grout stuck to the back of them which you will have to painstakingly chip off, again without breaking them.

For the purposes of the real world it's impossible. In some kind of imaginary world where you can bend space and time and tile adhesive is weak and poorly applied you can save some.

If they've been there for a long time, they 'may' come off easily, sometimes in big sheets. But you have to be super careful not to break them. If you get enough off whole to reuse you can probably use brick acid to clean them. It's pretty lethal but does the job. I cleaned 100 used glass bricks that were really covered in grout / cement and reused them good as new.

Any tips on removing tiles without damaging them?
From a wall, possibly been there for a long time.
Looks like we are buying a house, last time I viewed it I noticed some awesome tiles in the kitchen, id like to take them off and reuse them once we've refitted the kitchen.
