Tiling On Ufh?

[Old Mod]

As Gary says, contact the adhesive manufacturers tech dept, depending on who it is, they may do a site visit and give u further guidance Dale.

Just to update this, the UFH is officially endorsed to tile directly on to by Mapei.. I'm going to pass on this job, can smell a rat somewhere and think it may end up being more hassle than it's worth. The client has said they'll pay £**sqm cash if anyone wants the job.. Job is in Weighbridge Surrey, KT13. If anyone wants it, drop me a pm and I'll send you the clients number.

Price removed.

Unfortunately Dale, prices are not permitted in an open forum.
You weren't to know, so no problem.
There are places where prices can be discussed once you are accepted into the 'Tilers forum Arms' this is a private forum for Proffesional fixers only.
Which, when you fulfill the entry requirements, you'll be accepted in to.
Have a look at this.

Dale get a pro in for this, someone in London, I'm sure Gary could steer you on this. This is not a job for someone who is not an experienced professional tiler. It'll work out cheaper in the long run!

Hi All,

I'm new on here, just started advertising to do Tiling and quickly found myself in deep water. I'm a Carpenter/Joiner by trade, so over the years iv done tones of Kitchens and Bathrooms and quite a few big floor areas too, but the first few jobs Iv been to see are pretty big, ones a Collage Kitchen and Dining hall, 420sq meters of flooring and 185sq meters of walls..

The second job is the one I need help with, some tiler has already been in and laid about 40sq meters, there's another 100 meters to do. 600mm sq porcelain tiles.
The tiles have been laid directly on top of the underfloor heating pipes and polystyrene base, there's no screed and no membrane. Guessing this will not be ok?

Iv never tiled on to this type of UFH without a screed, and Iv never used Ditra, I'm guessing it's a good idea to use Ditra, but should it be fixed down at all? Glued perhaps?
Also some advise on expansion joints/strips would be good too, never used them before

Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Dale
