Another bathroom quote - sorry!

andy69_2

Ive got someone to move my bathroom to another part of house which includes buidling studded wall etc, electrics, all pipework in place to new room, the bathroom suite and tiles for floor and wall etc, shower, all put in etc for just under 1500

6mm ply will be good enough provided the sub-floor is in good nick. As this is being replaced it wont be a problem. 18mm is overkill IMO
If unsure of the above then 9mm will definitely be fine

British Standards state 18mm when overboarding, 6mm hardibacker is enough or you could tile directly onto chipboard if using Bal Fastflex but this is £40 a bag!

6mm ply....Might as well not bother as its going to crack!

BS more likely stands for bullsh......
This isn't a new build we're talking about here. No one follows BS when doing up their house (unless it's major works) apart from you obviously.
Stop scaremongering the OP with your BS
9mm thick ply will be ample.

Its not just BS

Contact Mapei or Bal, Your warranty will be null and void of the prep work is not to standard

We install kitchens and bathrooms and have done plenty of remedial work caused by the cowboys laying tiles on unsuitably prep`d substrates

Id put money on it you would prime with PVA!
