this diary has been running for a few days and some people may have not seen what pushed me to generate this post in the first place so, here is a picture!

i went to see a young couples wetroom installl that they were not happy with what they got, and fired the builder (after offering him a chance to rectify! of course!)
but this is what they got as an ALMOST finished product!"

and heres the other bit:

i have posted this as a way of letting customers kn ow that there is an element of cowboy wetroom installers out there, in order to avoid said individual ask for
1. testimonials.
2. photographic representation.
3. memberships of any trade bodies.

this perticular guy, and i know who he is and where he is, looks professional in the web world and the yellow pages.

but if you are looking for a builder in mitcham se.....be careful!
 
who moved it.. nooooooooooooooo not yet, i still have to put up the final images,
you know, of the toilet and stuff!!

a couple of days max, i promise!

that was a textbook wetroom fit dagger , the biggest part of the job is preparation and that takes time and time is money and thats why not many wetrooms get installed like yours, you can see peoples jaw dropping when you give them a quote for a wetroom , they dont seem to understand the work involved in the prep and the tanking..
i recently redone a wetroom floor where the tiler had screeded the floor with sand and cement directly onto floor boards, no overboarding or membrane , the whole lot lifted by hand without any cement sticking to the floor at all...
wetrooms are really popular right now and i fit quite a few so it makes you wonder how many disasters are out there waiting to happen..
 
WELL DONE TO YOU dAGGER FOR BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING AND HELPING THE YOUNG COUPLE OUT..THEY MUST BE OVERJOYED AT THE RESULT..:thumbsup:
 
Looks absolutly cracking Dagger:thumbsup: One thing is bugging me though... What is the small hole next to the toilet (RHS), is it going to be an outlet for an electric towel rail?
