Is the subfloor a floating wooden floor with a vinyl stuck down on the top?
Also, is there under-floor heating in there?

sorry but today no translator are handicapped.
I mean, that putting primer on absorbent screed.
it slows the cure.
the day after restarting the installation, if there is no primer, the stone starts immediately to drop from 'fast curing of the' adhesive.
in any case, here in Italy, if screed it is too absorbent, do primer
I hope ye compry

That floor looks a bit shiny Johnny.

Sorry bit misleading last comment . The covering in first picture is temporary kardean vynll tiles that were stuck to screed when they delayed the start of stone job on me last summer.Tacky glue all over screed so tilemaster recommended prime grip plus before we laid their anti fracture membrane.
and yes there were many cracks in screed alomost all eminating from columns and deck boxes.
this happened because there was no expansion joints anywhere not even around perimeter of the room.
so we have charged to cut 25mm of screed out around perimeter and and columns and used expansion foam roll and then filled in.
why the expansion joints were not done inhave no idea. I even offered to show where they could go to fall in line with a tile joint at borders to split up screed in to bays.
all I can do now is, having glued the cracks with a two part screed repair liquid, introduce weak points by cutting in to screed at 20mm safe depth to line up with joints of tiles, hoping that if screed does crack again it will be at these points that wont crack tiles. I have a letter stating that I will not be responsible if cracks occur in future.

An old foot trafficked shiny floor, possibly not cement based? Lime?

no .temporary kardean tiles school called off the job at two days notice and then needed temporary flooring until it was a better time to do work

It almost looks like the original floor was a carpet tile or the like?

original floor which 150 year old exactly was the Edwardian /Victorian patterned floor.this was dug up last year

not all screeds need of primer.
only the most absorbents.
putting very heavy 600x600x20, the next day, when laying tile front row, it tend to drop.
primer, adhesive to dry more slowly and the tile descend less

so were well in to the fixing now. deckboxes a bit of a pain but they are adjustable so all good.
this stone is very open faced and porous so cant get any adhesive on face .
going to be pukka floor though .
apparently York cathedral have recently used this stone to complement original .
this floor will age quite quickly but that is what is wanted .
heres a few pics of prep and progress
