Can't see the pics mate.
Pictures not showing, what are the tiles made of? do you remember how the tiles were stored? possibility they could have been in wet/damp conditions and retained moisture? this may stop them bonding well to the addy?

The tiles were ok for 2 years, yes ?
Sounds like a possibility of excess heat, seen something similar before after failure of flow temperature control in ufh, water temp went to 80 deg. Thermal shock. Customer started to deny it, a builder, but his sister let it slip one day.

Problem here is you have wet ufh with chipboard and the plywood on top of that. Both products are insulators, so customer wants warm floor. But can't as the timber is basically lagging the ufh. So they turn up the manifod temperature to make the floor feel better and doing so, the floor gets hotter, to a point that the tiles de-bond from the ply.
You could blame th customer, but a timber floor on top of ufh is asking For trouble.

totally agree with above to much insulating products bound to fail . bet there heating bill is a small fortune

Can't say I understand these floors either. Probably a more inert material than ply would have been better as a final layer beforr tiling. Could have gone straight down with hardie floor.
But he's saying that the addy is still stuck to the floor but tiles have come away clean? So that makes no sense?
