Im not using a tiler, Im doing it myself. Ive done a fair amount of tiling in previous projects over the last 3-4 years, but never on UFH screed, so I wanted to do my homework and hence seek advice from the forum.

Thanks for all the thoughts. Im not using stone, just porcelain tiles,

I will ensure the heating is properly commissioned before laying the floor and will be purchasing a matting, now that I have the facts.
 
Commisioning is very important , as on the first heat up of the ufh , you not only get lateral movement but also vertical - deflection .
1. The worst of the vertical happens on the intial heat up.
and
2. Ditra or any other decoupling mat for that matter don't really allow for vertical movement only lateral ( if memory serves me correctly). So if you just put down a mat without the commisioning you could still get probs later.

Diggy

I wouldn't be so sure you can't claim back vat on labour provided any contractors u used are vat registered . I'm sure the ground workers would of been . Probably be wise to talk to some friends and have a meeting with a sharp accountant . Not just a friends mate who is an accountant but a good one . You could be looking at getting a lot of money back . Ditra will seem like a drop in the ocean
