Are these tiles porcelain?

If there's laminate flooring already laid probably screeded underneath, Yes I would use slc to make it easier when laying tile's.

Cheers whitebeam mate...... 365 I have a set of your drill bits which you kindly sold me at the KBB show for a bargain price

Sibs i can recomend the Mapei 2 part self leveller. Very nice to use. You want a leveller that flows nicely as this will make the task a lot easier.
I hate it when someone else lays the heating mat as they never get it flat, so i have to adjust it.
Also if the mat is laid make sure they dont walk on it before you get there to level otherwise it could be damaged.

Thanks SirRamic. I was gonna look at Ardex but now I will deff have a look at mapei. Will bear in mind what you say about the matting if I get the job. He is gonna test it once it has been layed.

They are easy enough to test and it would be worth you getting a small multimeter for your tool box. You really need to check it often. I have never had a problem with a mat yet though ( fingers crossed)
