[QUOTE="mache, post: 795728"] Hi Woking, I would take the advice of the professional tilers here, from the information you have given so far it certainly sounds that your builder is not competent to do this job for you. It sounds like you want this finished for Christmas, please don't let desire be your reason for pushing ahead with your builder. Better to wait until you have the right person available to do the job when they are available rather than push ahead now and have to have the lot ripped out and started again six months time because its failed. I also note that in your first post that you are going for a full wet room setup, but later you state it's not and that there will be glass panels on all sides. Which ever way you still need a sound structure from the off that is suitable for a wet room/wet area. The guy's on here give sound advice. I did build my own wet room and was very pleased with the finished results but I did research on research, asked and took advice, and this forum was invaluable in achieving the end results. Be warned though that even those experienced in wet rooms also have peferences for various systems and methods so it can also get confusing. My guess is that work has already started, please if possible stop where you are and hold the project until the right proffessional is available. Don't get fixed in thinking that the tiler is only giving the final finsh as he's not the base prepartion has to be right to start with, only your tiler can properly advise on this not your builder doing what he thnks the tiler needs.(read past forum threads you will very quick see this time and time again). Importantly check and double check the creditials on your chosen tiler. . A good starting point would be is he a member of this forum, can he give you references for previous installations, verify those references and don't just accept a few photographs as evidence as they could have come from anywhere. Just researching a few threads on this forum will show you the importance of this and a creditable tiler will have no problem in you asking these questions. I wish you well in the project and hope you get the final result you are looking for, you next moves will determine if achieve this in the long term. Best Regards Martin. [/QUOTE]
