Tiling over existing floor tiles

[Mattillo]

Does anyone have any experience of tiling over old floor tiles. Looking at using ceramic floor tiles rather than laminate or lino. Would like to get a rough idea of how much it would cost to get someone to do it as well. Am in the Berkshire area.
thanks

It can be done. What's the surface like on your tiles?
Price? What's the m2?

Thanks for your reply.

Its around 18m square (but its quite fiddly - that area includes a kitchen, a dog-leg corridor and a small bathroom. The surface is flat and seems well adhered.

I actually meant what's the surface of the tile...is it rough/glossy/matt finish?
Why not take them up and do it properly? Are the tiles on concrete or wood?

The tile surface is matt. I think the kitchen is area is tiled on board (its slightly raised - 4 inches or so, while the rest is on concrete.

4 inches?
To have it tiled, not having seen it, you're looking at around the £400 mark.
