Hi there, first time poster, so go steady... My daughter has asked me if I can tile her kitchen floor with natural slate tiles. The existing floor is thermoplastic tiles on concrete. They are very firmly fixed down and are quite level (dropped my long level over the floor and it's pretty good)
Is it ok to tile straight over the top of these? (perhaps need roughing up to provide a better key) If so, what adhesive would you recommend? As the tiles are natural slate, do they need sealing before laying, or would you seal after laying, but before grouting?

Thanks in advance.
