Hi, Yes, they should be removed first as if the tiles or adhesive underneath them fail then they will fail whatever is on top of them as well ie; your new self leveller and flooring on top. What is your subfloor concrete/wood? What is the new floorcovering you are putting down? Have you checked for damp? How old is the house? Are you trying to level or smooth the floor?
