Forgot to mention I was thinking of hiring a lawn roller to press down the matt because of how much there is , is this a good idea ?

Balloo, if the floor doesn’t have underfloor heating then you can tile it straight away if your fitting an ditra or dural.

Balloo I’ve used a lot of Botoment products and I’ve also met Fergal, they’re head of technical in Ireland. Imo they’re products are excellent and Fergal knows his stuff, trust what he says. I’ve done jobs that he’s speciefied that I was very sceptical about doing but I did and they're absolutely fine years later. They’re uncoupling membrane is also one of if not the best one I’ve used and in conjunction with their adhesive sticks exceptionally well, you only need to rub it in with a flat trowel and that’s more than good enough. You won’t need a roller.

That's a really tidy job, plank effect tiles are becoming more popular and can see their appeal. Just wondering what you used to prime the floor and how many coats/how diluted it was? Have a new build job coming up and have a feeling will be a pumped screed with piped ufh. Use dilute SBR for everying now but always willing to try something better.

thanks lee mac , fergal has been out twice already and he definitely seems to know what he's talking about , one thing about M24 botament I find is it goes of very quickly so yo have to work very fast

Good evening lads. Nice tidy job.good advice on the screed I've seen too many cowboy builders trying to tell me to tile it after a week and it doesn't need sanding .
I use to only use botament in ireland I've been living in England 2 years now and I can't source it anywhere I've even been onto the supplier in ireland and they won't send it over to me even though I'd be ordering a few pallets.
Have yous any advice on how I could get my hands on it I'm in west Sussex.
