Hi
My mother is having a walk in shower fitted and everything in the bathroom is being renewed.She is disabled so the work is being done on a council grant. I called in and was surprised about the following;
The floor for the shower has been fitted into the floor(no step so she cant trip) but the waste pipe for the shower is not where I would expect!!
I thought all pipework would be under the floorboards then out through the wall but the guy has drilled through the kitchen ceiling for the waste pipe and it runs along the ceiling and out through a new hole drilled in the wall.
When you walk in the kitchen which is the room below the bathroom,look up into the corner above the sink to see all the new water pipes running along the wall by the ceiling ,along with the waste pipe 40mm in black coming through the ceiling and the out through the wall.
Tell me this is wrong!!
I thought they should be under the floorboards and not coming through the kitchen ceiling.
Never been in anyones kitchen where you can see the shower waste pipe in the corner of the ceiling.
Will there be a genuine reason for this or is the guy avoiding the difficult job or routing the pipes through the joists etc. Going to call in and see him tomorrow and ask but would like some ideas about what to say.
