What did you use to stick them?

Ring up Bal or Mapei technical help department and see what they recommend.

Taking the tile thickness and adhesive bed into consideration i will only have about 40-50mm to play with, not sure if that is adequate for a screed? The client is also nervous about me doing a screed above his living room as he thinks it may be too much weight, i'm mot sure if it is or not to...
