How best to Tile a room?

Yeah there were a lot of lose wires around my 2nd pour, I glided over with the spiked roller but I didn't feel comfortable putting force to roll as I think the wires would of came up.

So I need to check the top level only on the level, I'm a bit confused on what method I'm using to spread it, am I pouring a thick layer by the bifolds then scrapping along the floor, or gliding it? Won't it leave a juddering effect on the finish?

Or should I just pour the entire area then glide over it afterwards? Until now I've not been stepping on the compound once, so by getting on hands and knees to scrap it's a big change.
 
Survey the whole floor first with your longest level, get right down and look under it for dips, mark the dips with a permanent marker, pour some leveler in and drag your level over it...like this

I just watched this one, I guess the only question I have left is am I just using the slc on the crap bits or throughout the entire area?
 
I've enquired with a company to finish off the screeding, I'd be providing the SLC, what would be a competitive price in your opinion?
 
Tiling is not rocket science I know but the more experience the better the job generally...so with no experience and with a job as per drawing.....I think (especially as it looks like you have spending a few quid) to risk messing with the finishing Ie tiling....you would be unwise......wall tiling maybe...but floors are a bit harder to get looking right
