Default Screeding a floor

Hi

I have to tile a small porch - about 4' x 5'. The floor is uneven concrete
and drops by as much as an inch over the 5' length, so self levelling
compound isn't going to do it.


Why not? Do you want to level it? Usually doors and steps dictate the
levels at either end.


Seems to me a concrete screed is needed. Any tips re the best mix and how
to get it level?

How long should it dry before tiling over?
