Thanks, all, for your advice.

It's a liquid screed and another tiler has said there's no need to use matting with that. There seems to be some disagreement on here about whether it's necessary with porcelain tiles... I understand the "why not just use it anyway, just in case" argument but what's the point of spending more money if it's not needed?
I think we'll go with the tiler who said we don't need it. He's via trhe builder we've got on the job now rather than someone random so we have faith in him... hopefully it'll work out :)

Thanks again, everyone :)

We have tiled hundreds of square metres onto anhydride screeds here in Scotland as we have a local contractor who installs them and we always tile straight onto them using Tilemaster Anhyfix with no problems,we believe that using membranes of any type will not let the floor warm up as fast and cost several pounds more....
