Re-tiling front step

I need to take up the tiles on my front step as there is a leak into the old coal hole underneath. I am going to board over the whole step, seal it, then cover with visqueen over the board. I need to know how I can then tile on top of the visqueen.

Thanks in advance

Why the vapour barrier?

I was advised to use this by a labourer just to give extra protection. What is your advice? Thanks

might be wiser to pop a picture on.

If this bunker is underneath your steps and now suffering water ingress from above. Surely the steps need a new application of mastic asphalt and then tiling. Rather than a bit of board and polythene.
