Hi everyone,
Last week I asked how to fix the floor after a leaking shower, and now a builder has started work on the floor, but I have concerns about what he has done, and the support the new floor gives.
Basically, the builder has cut the rotten chipboard, and ply away, sistered a joist for support, but where the legs of the base will be are just sitting onto the new chipboard, and bearing in mind the new shower were are fitting (a waterproof pod) is approximately 100 KGs without a body inside it, so I am worried that there is not enough support.
Here is the picture from above after the work today:
The squares are where the legs are going to sit, with the forth going onto the tiles on the left.
Here is the picture from below the ceiling after the work today:
On the second picture you can see the screws underneath the chipboard, with three of the legs above just weighing on the chipboard.
Do you think this is enough support overall? I have stood on the area with the base, and it feels solid enough, but what would you advise, is it enough?
Thank you.
