you may need a decoupling membrane for cracks you cant see just a thought

Just a question first, do you have problems pricing your work in general? I ask because as an established tiler I would have thought that all of that job would be extremely easy to price. What figure did you have in mind because then we will know if your on the right track, otherwise we are just doing your job for you.

Insurance jobs are always a pain as they want a figure set in stone for complete job.
On a 'usual' job, I tend to price lifting floors & prep by dayrate then give them a price to supply and fit 600's.

As a guide though, lift and remove tiles say 2 days @ £200 a day supplying kango.
Skip £200
Supply and lay SLC £350
Supply expansion joints, flexi addy & grout for 60m2 £500
Lay, grout (and seal) 30m2 of 600's £2000

That rounds up to £3500.
I know i wouldnt stand a chance in hell of getting it at thet price in our neck of the woods, but i dont much like insurance jobs. What where you thinking GR?
Plus it depends what you can get materials for, at those prices im making a fair bit on them as well.

davy i priced it at £2895 i wouldnt get £3500 either down here but so hard to price these sorts of jobs dont want to sound to cheap but also would be a good job to get as it only 2 miles away from me fingers crossed hope your busy thanks for the help!

Why are they re-tiling, was there a problem with the old ones cracking or boast? Problem with UFH?

Heres a tip , charge a fee , say £40 deductable from the price of the job, it puts off the time wasters who only want pick your brains and use your quote ...
