Bathroom Cladding

mills705

Hi All, Quick one really- Should bathroom cladding be flush against the ceiling?
I am having a new bathroom fitted currently and whilst the suite looks great so far the cladding fitted so far sits away from the ceiling so there is a gap and it does not look right. I have never had it fitted before so I did not know what to expect. Is there a trim piece?
I have asked the fitter but as I am at work I am yet to hear back from him.

Thanks

If it's not finished then there is going to be visible gaps.

Not a fan of bathroom cladding as I expect it has a tendancy to breed mould behind it but a ventilation gap for some air to circulate is a good idea. If we're cladding a building with anything then there needs to be a 25mm ventilation gap to stop damp. Of course you can't see that when the roof/cladding is on.

I would expect gaps to some extent but I am pretty sure that the Cladding has been siliconed round the bath so it means there is no room for this to move. Most pictures have shown the cladding flush against the ceiling or with a piece of trim on it.
