Hi all,

I have been building an extension on the house for some time. Recently I knocked the existing kitchen through into the new extension and had the floor screeded. The existing kitchen floor is already concreted but slopes about 1 inch or so from left to right. When I got the new kitchen floor screeded I chose to match the slope to avoid a problem where the floors joined. I don't have a problem with the slope as it is not noticeable but is there anything I need to do when it comes to tiling it ? Do i just follow the existing slope?

Someone suggested I shoud start the tiling at the join between the new and old floors in case the heights are slightly different - is there a method that people use to decide where to start in these circumstances?

Thanks

I don't think you've any other choice than to follow the existing slope, have you? You can't really try to 'twist' it level after a few rows.
And, starting at the end of the existing tiles seems the perfect place.
You answered your own question, really, so I'm just confirming the answer. ;)
