One Day

I wish plumbers would stick to pipes.
In the past 10 yrs I've been trading, every single time I come across a "wetroom" (deliberate quotation marks) installed by a plumber - it invariably needs re-doing.
Why oh why oh why do people assume that wetrooms come under the banner of plumbers?!

The heating eng. I work with is a close mate and a great plumber - but he's an utter moron still when it comes to wetrooms. He just won't learn.

I'm sure there are great plumbers out there who can prepare a wetroom properly.
My opinion is that they just don't realise that they are all tilers in the wrong body.

A company I do work for used to have the plumber do all the tanking prior to me starting, I took about four jobs for the gaffer to pay attention to me, every time he had the wall skimmed then the plumber came in and bladdered the tanking all over it.....no primer....I'd go in a couple of days later and peel it off in one piece and then charge him to start all over again, some people learn slowly.
