If you can mate use 12mm ply and 25mm screws most floor boards are 18mm so it give you 5mm to play with so to speak. It’s like this mate take your time and think what you are doing and you will do spot on if you think about it you can do anything

12mm plywood is to think for a small bathroom, there will be a lip with the tile aswell

 

[jimmy495]

If it is a small lip mate go to B&Q or some other floor place and get a trim the one I have just got is 9mm minimum on one side and 21mm max on the other of it but there is different sizes

12mm ply is the norm Tysfoot m8 with 25mm screws and this way you will NOT go through any pipes in future.

Has anyone else found that those detectors are a waste of time?
I've had 3 different ones so far and all 3 have let me down.
Metalised plasterboard fools them completely and anything other than a Barratt house i.e something made from bricks or stone fools them also.

I'd pay good money for one that actually works!

Any recommendations?
