00ps my mistake sorry mod

How much is your excess m8 ?

have i got the wrong end of the stick here who on earth tanks a normal bathroom floor. i mean if you tank the floor then pour water on it its just gonna pi$$ out of the door way. iv done wetrooms where i tank the the floor and 1.5m up the walls in the shower area.IM NOT IN BUSSINESS TO RIP PEOPLE OFF

Sorry Guy nosey again, around how much is the excess on your insurance m8 150, 200 say,

So your bathroom leaks through your boards and shows itself on your lounge ceiling.

Your insurance company will give you 400 quid to sort the ceiling out less your excess of 150 so your getting 250.

You get a builder to sort it who tramps around your home for 3 days making a mess and totally stressing you and your family out, pain in the arse plus someone has to let them in and out.


A 5m2 roll of membrane and tape can be bought for 75 quid and its 2 hours work so say 35 quid 110 quid total to tank the floor.


Thats 40 quid less than your excess oh and your ceiling doesnt have a watermark either.

Where is the rip off please share ?? 😉

Not at all just pointing out a valid reason for tanking a floor in a bathroom m8 and i like a nudge to keep me on my toes 😉

This will ony work though if the whole floor is done..i.e under bath...otherwise any water will seep in that way......also around any pipe work etc......cracks at the floor edges and so on........but i know where you are coming from wetdec as regarding stopping leaks to downstairs ceilings.....nice idea but not always practical....

No well I fully understand that and make no mention of every job but I do say there is a valid reason and a point to be made with customers without it being a rip off
