Would a grout gun make it a little easier? Or just ignore the grout butt up and hope the walls really are waterproof? :tearsofjoy::grin:

Could use a grout bag, let the grout stiffen up a bit in the joints then strike excess off, use a sponge very gingerly so to avoid any residue going into the tile surface.

So grouting is the way forward to guarantee a dry kitchen ceiling :tearsofjoy::grin:

Would it look better staggered or on top of each other then with grout or is this just personal preference??

Personal preference, personally on top of each other. Just grout with the float but don't spread it all over.
On a serious note, nmp is not water proof.

Would it be worth using a tanking kit over the nmp? Or just tile and grout onto it?
Thank for advice

I have already installed the no more ply
And soaked in the tilers primer as you can see in photos
So tank over this for extra security? Is the aqua seal stuff any good? Then tile once that's all done

The glue is always expensive.
Primer is fine.
Whitebeam is being a right pessimist this evening!
