ive got to put some ceramic tiles down shorthly on a concrete floor, when i removed carpet to expose floor i found plastic tile had been down at some time plus concrete floor is not the best to tile directly onto , if i cover floor with 12mm ply will i be ok to fix ply via screwing ply to concrete or glue ply to floor

Remove the pastic tiles and prime floor with acrylic primer then make good the floor with levelling compound. A good levelling compund to use is ardex k15 or you could use adrtitex leveller as this is cheaper than k15...many other compounds out there but these 2 are top notch gear to use.... Plying floor will give you uneccessary increase in floor height..

thanks for your reply
plastic tiles have been down for some time now plus other things have been laid on floor , as far as height goes im ok with that , putting ply down will give me a flat and clean surface to lay tiles

For chipboard floors i like too use 6mm tile backer board, laid and screwed down on single part flex adhesive,tape the joins and lay tiles on single part flex as well and i also use a flexible grout.

So much work... if the chipboard is fairly flat why can't you just go down with a single part flexible or if in doubt a two part flexible

By the time you have paid out for the backerboard, adhesive, screws, tape, more adhesive and then labour it is either costing the customer a fourtune or you cant be making much money on it.

For your situation Vivaro you can't go wrong if you do what Dh says, much cheaper and quicker to use a leveller.... plus there is no risk of accidently screwing through an old pipe or something
