Hi,

I recently had my floor self levelled by a tiler, unfortunately it's cracked twice but this time the floor is sound with no hollow spots, so hopefully I am ok to tile over. It's an L shape room.

I have used a laser level with a piece of timber to mark the varying heights of floor, some areas are 5mm out, some 10mm, but no more than that.

How would I go about tiling any tips? Ideally want the lower areas at the lower height (without building it up with adhesive to make the floor dead flat) or is this not possible?
 
Depends where the high points are. You may be able to subtlety slope down to a lower point to avoid build up. But not if you are going to end up hitting another high point. Lay each row at a time and always use the tile at the highest point as your setting point for each row. If you have that tile with the minimum bed of adhesive to ensure coverage that will determine you height. If trying to slope a row down subtlety to avoid build up. Its worth placing a level on the slope to ensure you aren't pitching down too much.
