Well I called the lady on the Tue night and explained that I'm not prepared to tile the floor how it is and that it all has to be taken up and done again. She agreed after I had told her about the problems she would get if I did tile it.
I have not been back since as I am going to wait for the floor to be re done and then visit the site before I go back to check it is all correct.

Got this email today from customer.
I give up!
"I have checked out you concerns with the Co I purchased the tanking from they
have confirmed the following and sent Data sheets to confirm
Red membrane sheet is coated and therefore should not be stuck down with adhesive
but laid loose and edges sealed with tanking paint.
Also the thermal board under the heating cannot be placed under the WC it needs a firmer
board due to the weight of the wc which would crush the standard thermal board.
Th electrician has been out to the flooring and assured me that the mat will not burn out
Obviously the above goes against all the concerns you raised, I want the tiling to go ahead on the floor
and take full responsibility therefore should the floor fail and the resonsibility will remain with me."

Personally I wouldn't touch it. Regardless of what they say you'll be in the firing line when it goes wrong. Get paid for what you've done, leave your contact details and when someone else does it and it goes wrong you can you and do it again from scratch the way it should be done!

i would print off the data sheets and highlight the areas that say it should be stuck down, sound like it all needs to be redone again now anyway.

I have forwarded the nicobond spec to the customer that states it must be stuck down with flexi adhesive!
What do you think about the thermal board comment? I think they are talking rubbish

But they will not be placing the loo on the board directly, it will be on the tile over the board surely ?
