Hey guys! After tiling my bathroom and ensuite last year which would not have been possible without the fantastic advice and knowledge on this website I'm now planning to tile our back porch!

It's small less than 2 metres square and is currently vinyl tiles (ffs!)

I bought some 330mm ceramics from topps.

Questions!

After a few layers of different vinyls have been removed ( not yet!) Should I remove as much of glue as poss, make a slurry coat and then self level?

Just use a good 2 part leveller, no need for a sorry coat, I take it it's a solid base, ie: screed or concrete?
Ultra Level It or the like would do the job

It's solid base yes as far as I know.

Two part leveller? What's the 2nd part?

It's powder and a milky liquid instead of water.

You should be able to get this ok, it'll cover 5 square metres at 3mm depth.
It'll do your job fine

OK thanks ive used mapei adhesive and grout before and thought it great to use but massive pain for me to get! 100 mile round trip! Needs must!

I've saw mapei products in n screwfix but could never find the things I was looking for. Screwfix would be handy, there's no latexplan on that link tho

I'd be finding another supplier nearer who sells equivalent products.....
