The answers vary from 3 days to 8 Weeks but there are a lot of factors. Type of Screed, Weather during laying and setting, Temperatures, way it was mixed and laid etc etc. The general concencus seems to be 14 days under normal conditions.

It takes longer for the conc to cure, but to dry, it should be fin after 3 weeks.

Forget about tuesday.

At least 2 weeks. The house really needs to dry out.
