Help!: Tiling onto a bitumin floor?

[Jezza]

I am about to tile my kitchen floor&nbsp;which has a bitumin covering using porcelain tiles. The bitumin is in very good condition, clean &amp; dry.<br><br>I've been able to learn from advice given in previous threads rightly or wrongly that bitumin can be very adhesive&nbsp;resistant to cement based adhesives and that I need a flexible porcelain tile adhesive. Is this correct?<br><br>Secondly the floor needs a little self leveling compound in one small area, again does this need to be a latex/flexible compound?<br><br>And thirdly, with the bitumin being in good condition do I need to apply any sort of primer/sealer to the floor before I start any work on it?<br><br>Would be grateful of any advice thanks.<br><br>

Thanks for the responses. So it appears the bitumin needs some sort of sealer to help it with adhesion?

Thats Right

Can anyone please recommend a suitable primer/sealer I can use to treat the Bitumen with first?
