Just discovered this site, hope someone can answer my question.
I have bought a shower tray to install. It looks like the only way I can route the 40mm waste is to drill through a couple of floor joists.
I realise that this isn't advisable. Can I route the pipe through the joists if I can reinforce the joists with steel plates? Are steel plates to be bolted to either side of the joist where I cut it (to sandwich it) available?
Many thanks.
