Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Yes. Most of the floorboards have been ripped up and replaced with 18mm ply. But in one part near the wall the original floorboards remain as they go under the wall and there was no joist to fix the ply to. On top of all this hardboard has been screwed down (rough side upwards) so it covers...

I would appreciate some advice. The hardboard on my bathroom floor is a bit messy/dusty after tiling the walls. Do I need to prime it with something before tiling? Thanks.

The bathroom floorbaords are kn******d - uneven and bits missing. What do I need to board it out with prior to tiling it. And will I be able to tile straight onto it (have got flexi adhesive and grout already).

Sorry to get in the middle of your tiff, but any answer for the 2nd part of my question ie on the plastered walls will I be ok and what do I prime them with? Cheers.

Thanks for that. The other walls (not plasterboard) have just been skimmed. Will they be ok, too and will I have to prime them?

I'm going to be tiling the bathroom using wall and floor tiles (Padova range from Topps). They are 45cm x 31cm and weigh 22kg/m2. Will I have a problem tiling onto plasterboard? The 3 walls around the bath are plasterboard and it will have a shower over. Also, the shop sold us Sealocrete...
