When you tile about a kitchen work top where do you start. I dont rwally want to place it above worktop in case the units etc and uneaven. Where would i start to tile about a ki5chen worktop?

You could check the levels. Is it a new kitchen, or old? What size tile are you using?

Just replacing worktops so not sure if it will be level. Metro tiles so going for brick effect.

All you can do is check the levels, and cuts, and take it from there really. Work out the size of your cut, strike a line, and start from the bottom. I also usually centre on the cooker, but doubt it'll matter with brick bond.

Should i start 1 row above bottom tile?

Worktop should always be level, if its not then level it yourself.
Always start from the centre of the cooker or sink..
