In the extension on the UFH & cement screed, I would have laid anti-fracture mat to were it meets the original floor, dependent on how wide that room was I may have put an expansion joint through the middle of the room if it 3m2 or more , but defo left 10 mm round the walls just to give me piece of mind in case of any movement. as for between the original floor & the extension was I would have used some kind of movement joint either mastic or a trim type,but again from looking a the pictures you supplied I don't think in would have made any difference
 
Tiles are all lifted and the floor is being sanded this week! Going to use a acrylic primer! Can anyone tell me the proper procedure for laying this primer please?

Floor ready for sanding! Part of the floor is very uneven and a self leveling compound has to be used to bring it up to the correct level! Also laying an anti fracture Matt plus an expansion joint between the two floors
 
That floor looks to have suffered some cracking, it needs an antifracture mat.
If a screed is pumped - it needs sanding, simple as that, I've never seen one that doesn't need sanding.
The reason for the failures are-
PVA
Fixing method
Not sanded.
The tiler needs a reality check, don't let him fob you off !
I'd be calling the screed company too and demanding an answer and a resolution as to why there pumped in self leveling screed is not level !
