The plasterboard your talking about is paramount with eggy box sandwiched between two sheets of board, Make sure the tiles are solid and give them a good clean I like to rough up the high gloss ones. I would check that around the window your not building to high and losing to much of the window surround.

cheers for the reply, yep i looked at the window seem to be ok on that one, would you remove the old trims around window and corners or just tile straight over

Go straight over

Check door architrave. Does the thickness of the new tile & adhesive come past the architrave?

Check radiators. Can you get the new tile behind it/them?

Check windowframe. Can you still open/close window when the new tiles are fitted?

Cheers
