creating a wet room

[The D]

If you are creating a wet room do you take up the existing floor and replace or do you over board ???

We just work on top of what's there unless the plumber wants it ripped up to hide pipes, but our floors are done differently to yours, we have a mechanical membrane put down going 15cm up the walls, chuck 2 cm of screed down with mesh on top of that, the sparks is stood behind us biting our ankles to hurry up so he can cable tie his heating cables to the mesh, then we stand behind him biting his ankles to hurry up so we can throw the top screed on.

I like to take the entire bathroom apart and rebuild it! More control over the job and we can inspect for any floor joists that are in bad shape or over drilled.
