My mum lives in a maisonette with an open balcony about 3' 6" x 6'.
Its got a concrete floor covered with a piece of lino. She wants
something more permanent using tiles.
What would be the best way of doing this? Cover the whole area with
cement and lay the tiles on top, or cement at the joins of each tile
filling the space in between with sand.

Do it as you would say a concrete kitchen floor using a cement based
adhesive and waterproof grout. Any tiles suitable for that job will be
fine outdoors. You'll get everything you need at either a tile specialist
or a shed. The adhesive will come in a bag and need mixing with water -
not the ready mixed stuff.
