Not really dave, if he takes bricks out and just sticks a 1x1 frame at the back of the brick not into the cavity ,he would get a 4" or more niche.only small but enough for some soap 🙂

I would not be doing it...
 
Is the long wall of the bath internal ? If it was and there was a cupbaord on the other side you cut into that one maybe? Lot of work though for somewhere to put ones Loofer or shower gel 🙂

Diggy
 
What is it with people and recesses these days?

Everybody seems to want one lol.


Diggy
There is never anywhere to stand beer-tins soap and shaving stuff in a shower ! unless you build -in these little places ,and i would need somewhere for my optics in there as well as armchair / TV/ telephone .....
 
Just finished this Marble bathroom..Two Niches in the shower & TV going at the end of the bath & LED lights around the floor. :thumbsup: Clearview3 013.jpgClearview3 031.jpg
 
Building regs does not allow you breaching the cavity , this can cause cold/thermal issues along with damp... you can chase out 2/3rds of the way into brick or block on external walls but not breach / open up the cavity ..

But if you are ok at doing it then hey ho ..
 
I could be wrong dave, i don't want to argue, but do electri/gas boxes do exactly what you have said above ?
Bridge and block and cause these thermal issues, or am i seeing things when they leave a big hole in rhe side of houses and put a plastic box in it?
