We all have occasions like that mate, whether it be to a greater or lesser degree.
Don't beat yourself up too much, just got to deal with it now.
Well if guys on here can help, they will.
Fingers crossed.

Well I suppose a lot may do on your relationship with your client, and only you can make that call.
Of course you could be worrying them unnecessarily. Has the heating actually been commissioned?
Thinking back, did there seem to be a lot of surface laitence?
I appreciate you didn't notice it at the time, but in hindsight, do you?
Personally I have no idea if there any legal obligations to inform them, maybe someone else does?

Im not aware of any legal cases where the tiler has been sued for not identifying the screed nor any where the screeder has failed to leave data etc.

in this instance if the floor was dry and anhydrite adhesive was used there is a good chance t will stay stuck. no guarantees though im afraid.

as for legal responsiblity on the screeder in europe its the other way round the tiler takes responsibility for the screed being right, the screeder takes it for the prep and insulation and so on through the contract chain. that siad there are probably as many failures if not more in europe than over here. that is testament at least to the work we have done in getting the correct info out there. and really it doesnt take a lot of finding.

I've just had this on a job where builder said it doesn't need sanding
My house has been done and I never sanded it
So I asked him if it fails will you stump up the dough to replace
Typically non committal

Not when I worked in Europe Alan , the screed companies always sanded their work it was recognised that this was their responsibility and if the tilers did it it was counter charged against the screed company
