If any old tiles are loose, then your knew ones are going to be loose too
because of that. Any tiles that meet a door might well sit proud of the
doorframe. You *might* need longer faceplate screws for any outlets/sockets
on the tiles.

Ditch the old tiles. they're easily removed with a bolster or similar, or a
large flat screwdriver at a push.

Disclaimer: I'm not a tiler. But I've done lots of tiling.

Hi

I'm thinking of having my kitchen updated. All the exposed walls are tiled
but I hate the colour and the design on them so I want to re-tile the
walls.

Ive been told its best to tile on top of the old as they provide the
perfect surface. Ive also been told that old tiles must be removed first.

So now I'm confused.

I'd be grateful for your views on which is best and why.

Thanks

Rob
