Can you lay a timber floor over tiles?

I have lovely pale coloured tiles on the kitchen, small dining room, and 'tv' room. They are lovely BUT the tiler who did the grouting did such a terrible job with the grouting. Used too much 'glue' to adhere the tiles - consequently it 'squished' up between the tile spaces, thus making it hard for the grout to be applied effectively. Tried different tradies to help; but nothing has made any difference. Basically there was not enough room for the grout. SO my question is: can a wooden floor (floor boards) be laid successfully over the tiles? I certainly do not want to go to the mess and inconvenience of removing them. No Way. TKU

Hi @Catnipmanor1234 

 

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with them. My only other suggestion is to ask friends and family who have had their flooring done.
