Those kinds of systems are more likely to cause voids under the tiles, if I remember correctly that’s what happened to Roger when he had someone tile his shower floor.

No, the voids were down to the tiler being useless and using dit and dab rather than doing the job properly. I've used that levelling system Woodstalker is using and it's easy to avoid getting any voids.
The terrace is still looking good ....now that used the system I linked to above.
Woodstalker - I really recommend the Rubi rough stone sucker especially with tiles that size. Maybe even two.

I’m obviously doing it wrong then. I had a couple of natural slate tiles sink in the bathroom giving some annoying edges.

Cheers Roger, will have a look at them. Was planning on buying them reselling the kit once done. I’ve got some serious square metres to do. Do the suction grips cope with uneven natural stone?

Rubi for me.
