Floor tiling on screed with no visible cracks

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Could someone give me some advice please. I'm a landscaper by trade and have laid a few porcelain patios. Now I know interior tiling is not the same but would like to have a go at my downstairs toilet floor.
House was built early 2000s I think its screed but could poss be the wet slurry with no cracks. Can I tile straight over after using a levelling compound and priming with sbr? Thanks
 
Have you got pics. You need to identify what it is really before folus can advise properly.
 
Here you go much appreciated thanks

Does it need levelling .. how bumpy is it
Yes I'm going to self level it. Would the process be ?
1.sbr prime,
2.levelling compound,
3.sbr prime ,
4. Tile
No matt required.
How can I tell if its liquid screed?
Would this be an issue if it was?
Thanks
 
10mm trowel minimum and skim the back of the tile with adhesive, if you've already got a 6mm trowel and don't want to get a new one, 6mm on the floor and 6mm on the back of the tile but it could be messy!
