I start a 27 mtr 60x60 Marble bathroom floor onto a Gyvlon screed.. and a 6mtr wooden travertine laundry room floor ( same house), this is part of an overall 200+ mtrs in this property but not all ready to do yet... All the floors up stairs and down are Gyvlon...

All tiled floor area's will be uncoupled with Dural CI... and wet wall area's with Dural WP.. I have some bespoke bull nosing to do, so looking forward to getting stuck into this one.

Tomorrow I have an easy day at last,

Job one, replace bath taps on a cast iron bath (plastic nuts, phew!)

Job two, install TRV on a lounge radiator.

Then back home for some serious catch up on quotes/paperwork.

Later on this week I have a bathroom wall to tile and next Monday I start another full bathroom install, mid range suite and shower but all top notch work as usuall.
After that I have three more bathrooms to do that are booked in, all recommenations who are prepared to wait bless them.

I saw a bathroom done by a competitor of mine, OMG!!

He had two 15mm isolation valves poking out of the floor behind the pedestal, you could just see the screwdriver slot and the bottom comp nut was under the tile. There were no fewer than 4 cracked tiles, he had left the old toilet overflow poking out with an elbow on next to the new push button toilet, silicone was smeared up to and inch above the wall at the back of the basin and general sloppy tiling with dodgy trim cuts. He also left the pan to floor gap unsealed with a plastic paccker poking out, the shower outlet elbow had a dodgy cut tile round it with a massive unsealed hole in it.

I never commented on this to the customer I just said "mmm".

This is why I'm always booked solid for bathrooms, I seem to be the only decent plumber round here.

I can honestly say i could have nothing this week !!!!!!
I was pulled off site work last week as the builder is waiting on money from buyers for loads of extras(they have sold house in London so money asap).
In that house i have a polished marble bathroom and ensuite on top of full toilet and kitchen splashback ! The house next door to tile too soon.
On another site i have two house with the first currently have a sunroom built on first.
Another big house has staled too because of delay in release of funds.. not good all this for me.
