Wonderful. My favourite pic is the one of the toilet sat on wooden blocks.

Did you like his use of expanding foam to join the soil pipes? He was a bit stingy with it around the WC but proper went for it where plastic meets cast under the bath. Something that has cost the home owner £300 to date (ala 3 x blockages) and is going to cost a further £420 to remove completely

Well, at least he employed a good copy-writer .

What on earth was that toilet on blocks for ? Ive never seen anything like that before. Has the customer been to trading standards etc ?

The bath was were the bath is now situated and he jacked it up to try and get the fall on the soil

Which he failed to do BTW (in fact it runs up hill at one point) and the customer is not exactly the tallest in the world either, there are also 6 x 90deg bends before it enters the stack, which I might add the run double backs on it's self twice.

His solution.... Yes love i'll come back and fit a saniflow... err it's the only toilet in the property, although I didn't for a second think he would be up on his regs

Mrs Inky once rented a ground floor flat where the toilet was up on a couple of breeze blocks.

Had to make her a little wooden step-up - coz she's only short.

Disgusting work.

I have never seen a bath in such a tight space before, that would be hard for anybody to get that fitted.

You can get proper fittings to raise the toilet for OAP and infirm persons.

Never seem them on blocks however.

Exactly!

I get a few emails each week from these types of sites wanting to advertise, but I don't even reply to them.

Doing poor work to that kind of standard and getting paid for it should be punishable by a prison sentence

You dont see tiling that bad often....

Seen a toilet sat on a bit of ply before, but never quite like that

Old posts, but the newer members such as ROC and CR may have missed them...
Tiling on a par with this one.... topic6010.html

And strangely fitted toilet, like this washroom-instalation-t8082.html

[Mehran2]

well hopefully the customer has learn their lesson. I know it is a hard pill for some of the general public to swallow but the cheapest is the cheapest for a reason. in the end you are forced to pay twice...

sites like that only make it a race to bottom.
