Removal of tilling

Explanation:
'Piquage' is the removal by hammer of a coating or in this case tiling.

Dicobat
Le piquage d'un enduit est soit la dégradation au marteau des parties d'enduite à refaire, soit le martelage d'un support lisse pour favoriser l'adhérence d'un nouvel enduit.

Tiling is generally removed with a chisel and hammer, which means you don't actually need to say that here.

It should read
