I suppose it depends on the project! We have a number of builders we work for, on new builds and major extensions/refurbs.
With some, we are involved right at the start and are consulted on every aspect of the plumbing and heating systems to be installed; others we are more or less told what is expected of us & just follow instructions!
The result varies and we have done projects where isolation points range from minimal to complete coverage!
I would point out to the "powers that be" that your only possible location for isos is under the bath and let them make the call!

Thanks have never put iso valves on bath taps because it remover bath screen to get to them is just as easy to turn main off.
Eh? Now I'm confused!
That's what I suggested to you in a previous post in this thread!
(service valves on mixer showers). You can isolate the mixer valve by turning off the main!!

So no services valves isnt the End of the world for sake of having valves under the bath?
No. But likeIsaid: isolating shower will mean other services on the same run or system will also be out of action!
