oh right sorry , I was just wanting a rough guide so I know if getting decent quote but that's fine

I'm pleased you have had some progress. Keep at her for replacing everything.

 

[sparkle333]

I will try, i was told yesterday that I shouldn't have 18 mm over board and should have been 9 mm she told me to get 18 mm , and now its going to make it tricker to take loo out and will have a gap under my bathroom door as she didn't start floor tiling under it etc, so should I get that all re done too, omg what a nightmare just gets worse and worse and im so worried my underfloor heating will not survive all this

 

[Gazzer]

She is sort of right about the 18mm....its 15mm actually but thats hard to find. If the subfloor was in good condition and free from deflection a 6mm tile backer board could have been used. This is standard practice these days.

 

[sparkle333]

so do I leave this 18 mm down or get 9 mm put down instead then, with the tiles and adhesive im going to have a 25 mm increase in height from landing to bathroom, the floor was in ok condition , the centre area was fine the sides where it had been taken up loads for rewiring and plumbing wasn't so great but then the sides near airing cupboard wouldn't really be walked on , I can only ask her for like to like replacement , that's the problem , is back board dearer

 

[Gazzer]

you are not going to be able to take the floor up with out damaging the heating cables.

oh nightmare then grr, I wish I hadn't have bought this dam house been nothing but hassle for 5 mths as whole house needed renovating top to bottom grrr. so I either leave to try salvage heating mat and then hope toilet has some adjustment to move about, the plumber said theres some but will need a new connection on the back no idea how much that will be

 

[Mr Tiler]

I think he is reffering to the flexi soil connector thing they are about £10

 

[Gazzer]

New connection wouldbe an offset , about £6 ish
