the floor's 14sq/m and i would say i've done about 7 sq/m

Well what can i say?!!! to much to take up now........finish the floor as best you can...when you've grouted try not to wash to much out of the joints this might disguise the odd lip or two....next time check your levels carefully....good luck....dave...

If the tiles are sitting bad, as said above, to late to rip them up. If you are finding you are leading yourself way out of level somehow can you not adjust the surroundings, units etc to make it not noticable to the eye? Its hard to understand exactly where you've gone wrong over the net.

I really think theres a lot of misunderstanding out there about levelling compound. Its a mistake to think that pouring a few buckets of jollop over an uneven floor is going to magically make it level. Whenever I tile a floor i will spend plenty of time with a long level going over it in all directions finding out how bad it is, and lets be honest most floors are "bad" its just a matter of degree. Mark the high spots, work out where the ridges and hollows are and then work out a plan of attack. Maybe get some compound into the really low areas, chisel out the really high spots and then perhaps another layer of compund over the whole floor. However you end up tackling it you have to know what you've got to start with. If the floor just cant be brought back to a reasonably flat surface then you just have to work with it. On a really bad floor you might have to set and re-set almost every tile to get the edges right, its a real pain in the arse but it will look crap if you dont do it right.
