The electrican that came in to do the 20 amp and the lights is going to email us the Part P certificate this week. The electrician was actually really good and cant fault him.
The unit has a built in extractor fan - looked into that and spoke with the company so all good there.
The quote was £1650. The fitter didnt charge VAT so saved there,On top of that we had to pay an extra £135 to the electrican, along with an extra £55 for todays work to the fitter and £45 in parts.
Im having a google, but dont suppose anyone knows any "good practice" sites which list a minimum thickness of plywood to be used with granite tiles?

Well at least you've got the important things covered - now it's just the actual fitters work that is in question.
I dont understand why you have paid for 'extra' work when the project isn't finished/you've done the majority of it? What exactly has the fitter done? Just the plastering and tiling??
Page 14 in this clearly states how to overboard a wooden floor.
