bathroom job advice

[cam_low]

A while back I asked a question about the weight issue. Now I told the customer to change their tiles as they were sold porcelain 25kg/m2 tiles which were to be fixed onto a skim over blocks.

It has come back to haunt me with the cusomter now saying they want to keep the tiles...

So where do I go from here, Yorkshire tiles have recommended fixing hardi backer boards.
How would I fix these to the walls ? Would I have to remove the skim?
Any other issues ?

I have advised to reboard the whole room as the tiles are only going one metre.
Should the hardi boards be fitted over the skim and the tiles are then fixed there will be a sizable ledge and imo leaving the finish crap.

Could I tile straight onto what is presumably breeze blocks after priming ?

grrrr what a life

thanks people.

Every bloody day mate I can't let go, I'm an addict. Allways leave a small gap between the boards just for any slight movement/expansion
