need some advice please on floor tileing

[swanny944]

hi all,
I have an area of approx. 5sq mtrs (kitchen area) to tile - the new tiles are ceramic & I have taken up the old marley tiles - that was the easy bit !! the tiles has some of the old adhesive on however some is remaining on the the concrete floor - possibly about 50% of the area has it on & its black-I,m presuming it is bitumen - do I need to put anything down on the concrete before I lay the new tiles ?
thankyou - would be grateful for any advice

Id suggest an SBR slurry coat over the old marley tile adhesive, once it's dry, you should be good to tile.

As above

As above but also if it's not flat then a couple of bags of slc should do the trick.
