If the tiles aren t flat you need to level the floor using leveling compound.
Yes laminate floors can be installed over a ceramic tile floor successfully. Use 100 silicone caulking to create a water moisture barrier around all of the edges of the flooring at your doors and under any transition pieces you may have installed. There are many concerns about placing laminate over other flooring so the question is valid. It is much faster and less expensive than having old tiling chipped out unless the company you work with removes old flooring for free of course.
Removing a ceramic tile floor is hard work. You can lay laminate over tile as long as the tile is in good condition which means no broken or loose pieces. Fortunately the answer to the question is yes. The short answer is yes you can install laminate flooring over a ceramic tile floor if the tile floor is in good condition and the tile are well attached level and flat.
You should install an underlayment before laying the floor but you may need to install transition strips. With so many styles of laminate flooring available you should have no trouble finding a great design suitable for your floor. And yes you can lay the flooring under your appliances.
