Cement based liquid screed

[mma]

Whilst on the subject of liquid screeds I just found out that I've lost a 90 m2 job (80x80 porc)job due to me refusing to tile till the floor got commisioned.(says he couldn't wait till the utilities get connected??) I even talked to bal to see if I could use flex bone but they wouldn't guarantee it without the floor getting commisioned first.hes now got a part-time plumber in to tile it.

I've just walked away from one. 80x80 tiles floor down for two weeks at 80mm thickness, wanted it done before the kitchen is fitted. The guy didn't know anything about the screed and didn't know if it had been commissioned. I don't want hassle like that!

The only system I know of that could accommodate that is norcros pro gyp base...

Even if the heating wasn't commissioned?

I tiled a 80m2 floor last feb/march ish , sand cement screed , heating commissioned , tiled it with porc 800x800, few weeks later i tiled the boiler house , it needed tiling before the boiler went in🙁 asked them how the hell did the ufh get turned on without the boiker, he just smiled and said“ it wasn’t turned on, i just told you so you would tile it”
Still solid over a year down the line 🙂

Perhaps time for tiling contractors to incorporate a specification sheet to be signed in advance of tiling - screed type, date laid, UFH commissioned ............. adhesive used, grout colour,
Screed companies could provide their part of this continuity cycle - or do they already?

I've been assessing one this morning, 190 sqm onto liquid screed and something is a miss. Certainly not sanded correctly amongst other things

I'm fairly sure yes but I will double check and report back
