Yes. I’ve raised it with them and I believe they are going to now delay the job for a short time to avoid sub contracting. As for whether it affects anything- my trust in them when they specifically said they weren’t going to do this. How do I know how good their sub contractors are when...

Because it changes your perspective on things and seemed like we were going down the road of it being the customers fault for not requiring this to be specified in a written contract. I could have asked for a lot of things in writing, but practically speaking it simply isn't possible. I just...

Are you a tradesperson by any chance :LOL:. I'm getting that vibe....

And? They didn't put in writing that they might sub contract the work out.

Nothing in writing.

Hi all, A bit of a dilemma I’d appreciate advice on. We are getting a ashp install to replace a gas boiler. We chose a company based on local reputation and in house knowledge and experience. The guy who turned up says he does them all and says all work done in house (they have in house...

Great- thanks for confirming.

I did think of that but don’t want to go for that option. I’d rather get the pipework right.

Hi all, I'm renovating a shower room at the moment- it was hardly used hence why this plumbing error (not my work) probably slipped my mind or I didn't notice.... I've just redone the pipework for my shower valve (which I have already purchased, well outside return window and no option to...

We went through a few different ones when redoing our first floor shower room. I’d steer clear of humidistat/motion sensing ones. As the ambient humidity in the uk is quite high anyway we couldn’t get them to work properly and would always go off at random times when wet/raining outside even...

We've got this shower mixer which we are very happy with: https://www.screwfix.com/p/triton-elina-exposed-mixer-shower-valve-fixed-chrome/642fj Would echo above with respect to access/replacement in future, and writing off electric shower (we've had one before and there's no going back once...

I would be looking at grout and slight tray movement when someone is stood in it. Hence why just re-siliconing it without weighing down the shower tray might not have worked. I would recommend doing as suggested- stand in shower, shower head directed at small areas and ideally if you have...

I would suggest methodically using your shower head over each area in turn whilst someone is downstairs (presumably below is still exposed)- could be grout, could be tray movement when someone is stood in it. Hairline cracks in grout that are almost invisible can cause a substantial leak. A...

I found it really straightforward- just time and patience. I was laying over floorboards so just overlaid with 6mm ply, securing 150mm centres. I posted here with some links to tools/skim coat that I used. With the skim coat I just used a plasterers towel to spread it across the ply and then...

Used this company a few times now. They've always been good. https://www.flooringsupplies.co.uk/collections/glue-down-luxury-vinyl-flooring

Sounds nice! Yeah the logic I am applying is that I am saving on labour and thus we have a couple of nice bits to go in this shower room- the tray/waste, and a japanese toilet which the wife wanted. Everything else is distinctly mid range. That said I'm still well over 6k just for fixtures and...

Thanks yes a fair point, and I have been debating whether choice of tray/waste was the right one as they were quite expensive. That said, I needed a certain size, this was the only one I could find, and I wanted a steel one to eliminate risk of cracking and wasn’t keen on any other material...

Yeah it was a bit pricey. Matches my overpriced shower tray though :) Thank you. The instructions are perplexing but having had another look it is definitely a different design to that waterless one. Forgot I could just run it under the tap to find out tbh

Hi all, I'm installing a shower tray and waste at the moment. This is the waste: https://www.my-bette.com/en/product/features-and-installation/bettesolid-30-side-outlet-0-6-l-s#2 I assumed there'd be a trap built in and the installation videos are a little ambiguous. However in the written...

Have you read the technical data sheet (and some of the screwfix reviews)? You primed the ply I believe- data sheet of that product specifies subfloor must be absorbent. Is this the potential issue if this has reduced porosity. This is my best (non professional- just DIY er) guess from looking...
