quick lick of SLC and with the use of the clips, the job will look as good as any other I reckon.
Obvs time and effort will have cost more, but the end result will be fine.

Indeed, you're right.
But the clips will do the job they've been designed for
Yes but that's the problem. If you don't know how to tile and understand how to get full coverage etc then massive voids can and will be left. Which in turn can cause the ufh to overheat and fail.

Nice to see everyone in high spirits lol, silly question.. Which way is best to silicone packers, flat edge to floor or the underneath?

The highest point of the room I've choose is by the power cable which is proud, so I've put a packer 1-2 mm higher next to it, so I'm using that as my starting point, the highest difference is about 10mm, so that's quite a bit more than a light covering, I used 11 1/2 bags first time, and I've got exactly 11 1/2 bags now, keeping in mind my initial pour and my proposed pour next time, is it going to be to thick for the mats to produce adequate heat? The only change that I can make to my approach is to not cover the power leads fully and change my starting height which will be 2 hours work wasted. What do you think, keep going as I am?

You need to answer the question you have avoided all along regarding height issues. Work backwards from what height you have to work with. This will tell you if you have extra to play with or you may already be too high.
