Hi there


We have a new bathroom that will need tiling in the next 2-3 weeks. The room is 2.5m x 1.8m. All tiles are Porcelanosa Porcelain around 10mm thick.


2.5m Long Side Walls Porcelanosa Medite Calpe Bianco 75mm x 300mm Heringbone layout


1.8m End Walls (one of which has door in) Porcelanosa Medite Calpe Sea Green 75mm x 300mm Heringbone layout


There are no windows.


Please see pictures for how we want the Heringbone formation to be laid.


Floor Porcelanosa Carrara Blanco Natural 596mm x 596mm


White grout throughout floor and walls.


The room will be prepared with Marmox tilebacker board on all walls and the floor. 12.5mm board on the short end walls as these are stud walls. 6mm board on the long side walls as these are masonry walls. 30mm board on the floors. The floor has a single fall 800 x 800 wetroom tray in one corner with a 'pure' tileable drain cover. The wetroom is 30mm deep at top edge which will line up with the marmox board. The shallow end is 18mm deep. Please bear in mind edging the tile where the board drops from 30mm to the shallow 18mm part of the tray (where the glass shower screen will sit).


All boards will be fixed with proper washers, covered in mesh tape and the shower area will be tanked ready for tiling. The floor will also have a Warmup StickyMat underfloor heating (resting on the boards on one side of the room and on the wetroom tray). We will just dry lay this prior to tiling as the specs state it can be tiled straight onto using flexible adhesive.


The shower area will have a Schluter Kerdi double Niche with shelf that we will want in Heringbone layout (as much as possible) also.


Holes will need to be cut for concealed WC Frame, conceleaed shower valve ( + hand spray + main shower head), concealed bath valve (+ hand spray + bath spout)


Hole for a waste pipe in the floor under where the freestanding bath will go - although this doesn't need to be too precise as it won't be seen - can be a square gap. Hole for waste pipe and hot and cold pipes behind where the hung vanity unit will be. Again, not seen so can be a square gap.


There will be three sockets up in the top corner of the wall with the door in - isolator switches for fan, underfloor heating and electric towel rail. We will fix these back boxes in place with a lip of 10mm so that they end up flush with the tiles.


Tilers - please quote for the job.



Any recommendations of people also much appreciated.



Thanks!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
