ufh screed and pricing issues

[why tile]

hi, i have taken on a job for a customer who is having 60 square meters of screed laid with piped ufh underneath, i will then tile with large format porcelain tiles.

now i know there are alot of myths about how long you have to leave the screed before you can tile on it and also what temp it has to be at.

what i want to know is when can i actually tile on it it, the floor will be preasure tested after the screed is laid.

also what would be a reasonable price to charge for a job of this size including adhesive etc, 60 square meters in brick bond.
i am asking this question as i always seem to be under quoting my jobs by a cosiderable margin.

all help with this would be much apreciated.

thanks
mark

They should fire up the ufh before you lay

Hi Mark

What thickness is the screed?

we can't help with the pricing in an open forum tho' mate

The drying time would be affected by the thickness, let us know when you find out, it will be easier to give an estimate on time then.

thanks for your time.

I think the drying time quoted the other day was 1mm per day? Somebody else said 65mm 4weeks? Double check though.
