    Tile levelling 10cm x 20cm

    Still wouldn't recommend it, you'd get through a serious amount of clips in no time. what substrate are they going into? If it's smooth no clips, if it's rough then correct it

    Expansion gap

    That's what I was hoping mate, if it was 7mm upwards I was thinking of a white trim to match conservatory. Would prefer silicon though

    Tiles sound hollow and are coming loose

    I'm going with poor technique, what was the weather at the time as if using rapid set im guessing the adhesive was going off too quickly. Even then not back buttering them is stupid

    Soft /expansion joint

    I was going to use 5mm expansion joint or 5mm silicon joint at opening. Also for the sake of it also going on ditra mating just incase. 2mm joint is to match the tile which have fake 2mm grout lines crossing them. I know its not too bs but it'll look odd otherwise.

    Another consideration is speed if nmp is suitable for ufh, I’ll be able to lay nmp much quicker than p5 overlayed so although the material cost is higher (£120) I reckon I’d get that back in labour so equalling out.

    another Preferred floor prep thread

    At present my thinking was nmp if it’s ok with ufh direct. My concern is the height build up into the bedroom which although carpet is only a thin one. A transition bar may not be suitable
