Can I put ply down over tiles

Question

Hi I'm having a new kitchen fitted.  A wall knocked down opening the kitchen to utility room the floors all the way through at already tiled. One room is wood floor the other is concrete. The wooden floor joints have started to to crack and come lose (also tiler didn't board the floor before tiling ) he said because he was using flexie glue and grout .My question is could I board throughout with 18mm ply and then fit kitchen or will I need to lift all the tiles or can I leave the concrete floor tiled as they haven't budged and lift the wood floor tiles and put thicker ply down to keep it level

Hi Stephen. 
I would recommend pulling all existing flooring up before you attempt to start levelling any floor’s. You want it all to to be on subfloor level and see what you require to do to gain a suitable level once it’s all existing flooring is up.

Good morning.
You can put a ply on top of the tiles, but this will ruin both floors, since you will have to raise the wooden floor to the level.
The correct and professional solution is to remove the tiles, check the level, put the floor to the level and install the kitchen.
Do it professionally and it will last for years.
Have a nice day.

Morning.. I would personally lift all the tiles on the wooden floor and apply 6mm ply to it.. i would then apply a self levelling screed to whole area to give you a uniform level finish.. 18mm ply over the are could cause creaking and movement as the sub floor it is on will not be perfectly level.. if you would like me to have a look and quote these works to give you a nice uniform flat floor pls get in touch..
