Do I need to prime or seal the screed before I tile onto it and what do I prime or seal it with?
Anything else that could be done to ensure the job can be done properly?
Thanks

what kind of screed is it? how long has it been down? how thick is it?
 
screed is sand/cement/fibres and has been down for about 5 weeks and has got another couple of weeks left before switching on the UFH which I'm going to warm up and then let cool down over a week before starting the tiling.
screed is 80mm thick
 
sounds like your on the right lines already. commision the UFH and let it cool, then once the screeds completely dry use a cement based addy. if you were are my counter granfix fastset flexible (single part) would be what you'd be travelling home with.

you dont need a flexi addy but the price diff is so small these days theres no reason not to

so I don't need a primer or to treat the screed with anything before tiling then?
 
not with that adhesive, some will push an acrylic primer. which adhesive are you using?
 
I don't know yet, I may not even tile it myself, depends on quotes for someone to do it, I haven't decided yet.
