Vinyl over ceramic floor tiles

[zooooom]

I have just finished fitting a new kitchen for a client, the floor fitters turn up today to install a new vinyl floor and told them that they cannot install it over the existing ceramic tile floor as joints will show through.
They said they would have put down a 25mm screed first.
The floor tile are solid, no cracks and not that uneven and have been laid very well.
Question
Would it be possible to lay a thin layer of selfleveling compound over ceramic floor tiles.
If so would it have to be 25mm thick as I think the floor is only going to need a thin layer.
Any help gratefully recieved.

simple answer - maybe!

it is usual to only use a thin layer of screed 2 - 3mm ...BUT

the thicker layer may be due to a variation in height of the floor level OR

you may have misheard?

Yeah it possible you misheard. A screed can be any thickness but for vinyl installations over old tiles, it's usually a bag product 2-5 mm
