    Default levelling

    Hi all, i'm on a job at the moment tiling a kitchen/ diner on 2 levels. i've tiled the kitchen no problem, i'm now onto the dining area which is 16m2. The problem i have is the floor in not level but is pretty flat, it runs down to one end of the room. Do i need to get the floor perfrectly level or can i just tile on it the way it is and the way it runs? or does the floor need to be dead level. Hope this makes sense. any advice welcome.

    How out of level is it?

    You don't want the cutlery rolling off the dining table . But as long as it is flat the table and chairs won't rock, so would have thought that would be acceptable.
