How thick was the ply.. ? .. and looking at those pics , there appears to be very little fixings :lol:

Well...on the plus side the ply was 15mm and it was actually screwed down at every 300mm so the substrate was fine! I originally priced for taking the tiles and whatever the existing substrate was up and replacing with backerboard but didnt need to in the end.

Gotta love those " 5 spotters..." quite a common breed of person you know :)

The joiner was still there when I took these (I was pricing for the bathroom, this is the new £12k kitchen) I even tried to humour him when asking what happened in the doorway as the rest wasn't too bad.
He said "I had to fiddle the joints to make it work" I nearly spat my crisps out of my nose!
