Laying flooring

Hi - Finally decided to get my conservatory floored with tiles. Got some ceramic tiles from Topp tiles. Plan to DIY tomorrow on slightly rough concrete floor.
Any tips?

    Yes !
    Always look both ways before crossing the road ! :rotfl:

    Hi avi, Glad your sorted now.
    Make sure you take off any large peaks in the concrete. Then use levelling compound to seal and level the floor.
    It will take a couple of hours to dry, but will be worth the extra effort.
