Floor tiles lifted on calcium based self level floor

Just because it's been professionally sanded, doesn't mean it's been done properly, most of the Anny screeds I go to, they say, the company came back sanded it so it is fine to tile, when in fact it's not, sand them too early and more latence will settle, and the guys screeding don't care about the prep a quick go over with light machine and they think it's fine, when in fact again it's not, same with proper dying times, they tell customers it will dry in X amount of time, when we all know it's only dry when a proper hygrometer or other test is done and gives sufficient reaults. Knowledge on these screeds is key
They have to be sanded in the 1st few days or he latency gets too hard ?
 
You can sand these screeds at any time, yes they are softer in the early days but still sandable after many months.
 
I’m old school, I pee on them and time how long it takes to dry then refer to the water table graph, as per saturation point!
