    Is there a reason they don't want you to uplift the existing tiles?

    They don't want the extra cost or mess of ripping them up as thay have had a new kitchen fitted. The existing tiles well stuck with no hollows and i'm happy to tile over them but have never used UFH in this situation, I can't really see a problem but would appreciate the advice from you more experanced fixers.
