Stud Wall and Chipboars flooring

[CrowleyCovern]

Regarding the bottom of the stud wall. When the joiner replaced the chipboard flooring (due to old shower leak) where the shower was, it has occured to me it has ben cut right where the wood is above and with it being chipboard it is all crumbled at edge and was concerned if not getting full support now as i guess the chipboard flooring supported from the bedroom to the ensuite and there is a little gap to the ply added.

It is a smallish area just the panel where the shower was so not the full stud wall. Is this likely to be a issue?

It's hard to work out what we are looking at.
Floor or wall?

 

[CrowleyCovern]

That is the floor and the bottom fo the stud wall

 

[Wayners]

Stud wall is on joists?

Stud wall is on joists?

Hmmm .. are we going to eventually read about yet another squeaking floor as it rubs against a new stud wall? Two differing flexings does not bode well IMO.

 

[CrowleyCovern]

Right, excuse my ignorance but do I need to get the joiner back?

I can see the I Beam Joist a little bit in from the gap where the old chipboard was and the new ply is so dunno if fully on it or not

I don’t know if the joiner did anything to ‘secure’ things under the ply.

Getting floor fitted Friday so if something is wrong need to sort asap.

Also, bathroom is meant to be fitted on 30th so bit of a race against time

Should have the flooring fitted to the edge ideally.
Will the floor need to come up for pipes and electrics?
What kind of flooring it going down.
Some shower trays need fitting to 18mm ply.
Maybe contact bathroom fitter to find out whats required

My main concern is the stud wall going to sag or something over time.

I dont think so as everything is being plumbed in the same space.

We are just having a vinyl its just the fact of if there is a issue with how the chipboard replacement has bene done and the stud wall isn’t adequately supported then need to get that sorted before other work is done

 

[CrowleyCovern]

Not sure if you can see a little further along is the I joist

I think what you are saying, that is being missed, is the the chipboard floor runs under the stud wall, the leak made it soggy and rotten, but the joiner only fitted the replacement up to the wall but not under it?
Is that correct?

 

[CrowleyCovern]

Yes kind of, and it is harshly broken just shy of the bottom plate of the stud wall and then a small gap before the ply starts.

I don’t mind if he hadn’t gone all the way through as long as it has been done the right way and not left it potentionally not supported/potentional issuwa

As you can see from the photo below, can see the rough edges of chipboard just before the edge of the bottom plate bit (apologies if not right name)
