Hi guys. Been to look at a job today. Upstairs bathroom & en suite. Looks like previous tiler has tiled straight onto those chip board floor panels and they're cracking all over. Blokes asked me to chop tiles up then get a joiner to overboard it. The question is what with? Any advice will be much appreciated. Cheers.

if there's cracks all over its probably got a lot of deflection, over boarding isn't going to solve that problem. Best to take the tiles up and see what your dealing with.

Probably 6mm Hardie glued n screwed, once I'd had a butchers at the sub floor

I prefer not to tile onto ply nor to a single layer. If the chipboard is in bad shape then I'd remove it, fix new 18mm ply or t & g chipboard then over-board with the Hardie as above.

Are the cement boards absolutely necessary ? As BAL reckon you can fix straight onto primed T&G Floor boards? Surely the 18mm ply is more rigid.

You can't tile on to chipboard flooring
https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ manufacturers say you can but it fails most times . S2 https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ is no substitute for a badly prepared floor.
