It is 18mm boards on top of 9mm ply which squeaks a bit, should I remove the ply? :?:

I screwed them down 6 screws across 3 joists and one hidden screw on a forth joist. The wood seems very soft aswell, could this be the issue? :!:

The plumbing aspect of the job is not in question, its the way in which the bath installs.

Thanks guys John there will be no carpet therefore ply would look ugly. By the way any tips on stopping it creaking. :? Now that its down it's staying down but there a few creaks, will this stop in time?

Hi Can anyone please tell me if straight soil pipes are universal as I installed a new toilet and I have a slight leak on the pan joint. I have been reading the threads and i see a mention of 14 degrees what that? Please help I've had no toilet for 3 days

Thanks multifinish, but you are a bit too far away. I'll give it a go myself.
