Adhesive is setting too quickly.

Ensure the working temperature is within the recommended range. Mix smaller batches to avoid waste.

Cracking of tiles after installation.

Ensure that movement joints are incorporated as specified within the British/European standards. Check that the substrate is suitable for tiling. If tiling onto timber floors ensure there is sufficient rigidity.
