It's been a couple of weeks of hard graft and I'm glad it's over.

Forget the name but it was a Tarmac cement based screed. Nice and flat, first big pour that I've encountered that actually had movement joints built in. When I first went to look they had been back to repair one crack. There was a lot of laitance to remove.

Only a couple of hairline cracks after the first UFH commissioning.
Customer supplied anti frac mat.

Got myself one of those Kardean rollers recommended on this forum (top tip!) to fit Kerakoll's Idrobuild Tex matting which was supplied by customer.

14 meters from trifold doors to front door was only 4mm out of square so setting out was easy.

The tiling was not so easy, few days in I got a mate in to back butter, wash buckets and help me lug boxes of tiles about.

Went in to grout and silicone on Saturday - didn't fancy doing it in a 34C heatwave - especially when I can be sat in my garden with a beer! 1.JPG
