Never tiled onto it myself, but know people who have. Its not on their technical data sheet, but there definitely will be a layer to remove before tiling.

I was bored so I rang them for you to confirm it

You're a gent thank you. Think I'll leave that one in the builders hands to sort out then.

Just out of interest, what is the best method for getting rid of it? scraper and a brush?

It should be treated the same as añy other gypsum based screed.

Only if you're a bit dim and can't follow the simple advice given in all sorts of easy to access places about tiling to gypsum screeds,... Or you want to walk away from the several hundred thousands of square merterrs of tiling work available on them...

Usual advice from us is to use an STR sander or floor scarifier with minimum 60grit paper. Most recent hire sites will be able to supply. Followed by vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust. Some people use a diamond or carborundum block sander. Either way it needs to be a mechanical abrasion.

The only one ive done the house owner sanded it and primed it.
He used a 9" grinder with a wire brush kinda attachment thingie , vac'ed it and primed it,100m2 of it, the bloke did a top job , took him all weekend.
We used tilemaster primer and anylfix addy , as far as i know its still fine and dandy , im sure he would tell me as well being a detective in the oldbill

Ha ha good job @3_fall understands my sense of humour, but I will say @Ajax123 I don't like them except for there flatness and dim or not they are unpredictable and that's my opinion before we get into a war of words pal....

I prefer to ask technical questions on the forums at least you get a bit of banter back with your info, the normal reply I get is
"keraquick with latex should do it"
