Floor Preperation Advice - Tile Advice

[Scouselad]

Hi guys apologies if its posted in the wrong forum,
I'm after a bit of advice i'm in the process of opening conservatory up into new kitchen/diner & having same tiles right through, the conservatory has got an existing ceramic tiled floor, which is slightly lower than kitchen/diner, the question is can i self level over existing tiles then tile whole area or is it best to lift old tiles & go from there. I would be getting a tiler in to tile i'm just weighing up my best approach. The new tiles to be laid will be porcelain. Thanks

If the old tiles are sound then prime with a mechanical grip primer like rocatex ultimate grip primer, mapei eco prim grip(others available) then self level and tile

Get the tiler in to level as well then if he's not happy it's his problem . I personally level my own work.

Have you got a tiler booked in?
You could look on the forums members in your area - no guarantee - but at least you can check them out.
