Any pics, they always help?

...or any tile really. For years I did it this way... keep lifting tiles adding more addy refiting etc etc. but it is much more sensible and quicker to level the floor first with a SLC then just fix them to the flat floor ( spread addy;comb with notched trowel; back butter tiles then position them with a slide/shuffle to flatten the notches giving a solid bed of addy).

Need plans or pictures to estmate price: guess number of days it will take multiply by your day rate; add cost of SLC+addy+grout+primer+spacers/clips+other consumables etc and divide by 80m2 to get a rate per m2 for this particular job
