    What Insulation behind tiled walls?

    That surprises me, normally a lime undercoat and finish would be applied directly to the stone wall.....sound insulation is difficult due to vibration traveling through the floor and ceiling but what your doing is better than having nothing there...good luck

    Should the installers be tanking my new shower? Advice greatly appreciated

    Tanking is a must IMO as it prevents further damage if the tiling fails, which it does occasionally. Cement based grouts are not waterproof and still allow some moisture through to the substrate.
