Yes polished porcelain - what difference does that make ?

Thanks @The Tiler I did pull a bit of the floor up today where there is no underfloor heating to see what is happening - and as you say the underside of the XPS has not stuck to the adhesive but the adhesive is firmly stuck to the concrete floor Priming the underside of the board would have...

Yes as I said I followed the Tiler’s advice who said SLC wasn’t needed - cowboy tiler ! As for cutting if my new tiler is confident they can cut around the wire safely to remove dead spots then great if not will go ahead with tiling as it’s such a small area anyway Is there any way to drill...

Sorry one final question - assume that I should insist the tiler applies primer on SLC before tiling I know that’s what was advised above but just want to be 100% sure as there seem to be different views on this

hi yes it was open to the elements for 2 nights as there was a door partly boarded and letting cold air in - also it was 10mm thick as it was quite an uneven floor

Hi Thanks for the replies Firstly I am definitely not doing this myself its too big a project - I have done a smaller area myself before though and did all the research hence wanting to ensure the tiler takes the right approach When I say 'I' it refers to getting the work done on my property...

Yes he is qualified but never used him before - just when I am spending £5000 I want to ensure job done properly so like to do my research
