Lino on tiles

Hi,
I want to redo our kitchen floor which is currently tiles but we are worried it is going to be really hard work to get the existing tiles up.

Can we lay lino on top of the existing tiles?
Thanks

    depending on the quality of the lino and the tiles, the tile joints may wear through

    You can put self levelling compound down over the tiles to fill the joints.

    Make sure you use a latex one and use no more than a 3mm layer.
