perfectly with the scale of the bathroom we will be sharing all these product choices in our brief to the builder plumber tiler and electrician depending on the magnitude of your bathroom renault you'll likely need to demolish parts if not all of your existing bathroom before doing this you must have the material behind your walls tested by a qualified professional to determine if there is any asbestos present if there is it will need to be removed by a licensed asbestos removalist [Music] have your builder or carpenter construct any new walls including wall niches install new windows or skylights and drop the floor if needed to provide a flush floor height with the adjoining room [Music] meet with your plumber and tyler together on site to discuss the layout details this includes every fixture fitting where the floor will fall to waste what waste types you'll be using and your desired tile layout [Music] the roughing stage is when you're putting your plumbing your pipes and your electrical wires behind the walls before the wall lining goes on and it's a really important stage that you want to be on site for to make sure everything's at the right heights and everything's getting put where it needs to go if you have detailed drawings from your cabinet maker or draftsman you can use those now too you will need your tapware and toilet if it's an in-wall system on-site so that their internal parts can be installed into the wall cavity you will also need your vanity and basin specs on hand in addition you will need to know exactly where you want all your electricals to go including lights pendants and power points now don't change your mind after this stage because it will cost you both time and money to move your fixtures and fittings around can i put that screw in

source of the problem so don't rush this step get it right first time so waterproofing is about a three day process day one you put the primer on day two the first coat of the membrane and day three the second coat of the membrane [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] your tiler will screed the floor that's the sand and cement bed that needs to be installed prior to tiling [Music] [Music] the tile is also going to need to know the exact dimensions of your shower and your shower screen [Music] instead of a glass shower screen for the shower recess over here we've gone with a fixed wall it's a real feature of this bathroom but if you were going with your typical glass shower screen now is the time to get your glazier out the minute you finish your tiling and grouting you are ready to get
