Hello Sal,

I came across this and thought it might help:

spurred on by the pleasing results, i decided to crack on with tiling the porch and it went on so fast i even managed to get the lead flashing on too. i made it uneven by sticking a couple of randomly placed cocktail sticks onto the porch, before tiling, then laid a sheet of thin card over the top to create gentle slopes. then tiled over the whole thing. the glues still drying in a few places so ignore the white marks
