You think it is definitely best to go with fibre reinforced screed? .....and to lay it on a membrane of some sort?

Thanks Phil, i think the screed would be a good idea actually as the customer just sent me this message: The tiles (concrete slabs) are glued with what looks like to thin lines of glue. I have pulled up one loose tile and taken photo which I will email you tomorrow from work - can't do it...

Hello good people, i have a job coming up soon which involves tiling onto polished plaster using limestone mosaic on 30x30 sheets. I was going to use mosaic fix, will i need to give the walls a sanding first do you think or use another adhesive? Many thanks, Jamie.
