me neither if you have public liability alot of policies dont cover you for moving sanitary ware cos thats a whole diff trade, or they charge you extra as a add on to the policy

dont really understand what you are saying,are you saying get customer to take out by using a plumber?😕

If the cistern is against the wall and cannot be loosened off point it out to the customer.Tell them that if you cut round it the lid will never go back on properly.As far as I am concerned it is up to them to get a plumber in to remove and reposition it.If not there is a 90 per cent chance I won't do the job.Have cut round hundreds of toilet pans using cardboard templates.This I don't mind but allow for it in your quote.Same with basins.

get them out, its up to your customer if they use a plumber or joe next door aslong as its not you

Thanks to all on this one. I agree it's always easier and neater to fit sink and basin after tiling but not everybody calls you before the bathroom suite is in and many jobs are a bathroom re vamp so you have to call them as they come.

Nothing worse than snipping a porcelain floor tile all the way round a pan,and just as your about done,the feckin thing shatters.....get the pottery out mate..and explain that this will leave a far nicer finish....

Better to take 'em out, the pipework is pretty easy really. I don't see the need for a plumber, after all it's already all plumbed in, right?
Besides, it's such a treat taking toilets out and exposing that lovely soil pipe -
or maybe that's just me?! :wink_smile:

When the sanitary wear is taken out and the floor is plyed out and tiled then almost certainly you will have to adjust all pipes accordingly by about an inch,which can prove to be a right pain in the genitals.IMO:sad_smile:
