    OK so one of my regulars at the care home has been busy during lockdown, they had a bad leak in one of their wetrooms and had to rip the lot out. It was a timber floor so they had to rip the old boards out, back to the joists and replaced the lot with wickes P5 T&G boarding.

    He's put the drainage cover in the boards and wants me to crack on with the flooring :rolleyes:

    If I'd have known I would have told him to put the tray system in then I would have ply'd to it. I've never done one without a tray in before and the ones I have done have all had them in...

    I've obviously now got to make sure the water flows to that corner so wondering what procedure you more experienced wetroom 'massives' take :D

    Sod that. If it was easy to do by hand they wouldn’t make trays would they? But in all honesty I have no idea as I stay as far away from wet rooms as possible. I looked at one once as part of a job and when I lifted the lid of the drain to see how it was fixed the smell that came out nearly killed me. Think someone had dropped a stinker in there and blocked it

    In my experience falls can be made with the right screed and some timbers but it takes time. I would recommend that they fit a tray, this way you know it’s right! No come backs!!!
