Great vid. Important note for anyone viewing: The Classi Seal upstand used in the video is ‘Classi Seal Plus’! Not to be confused with the ‘Classi Seal Flexible Upstand’. Classi Seal Plus is secured to backer board with tanking membrane as per video.

Very interesting, but I couldn’t help noticing this demo was in an ideal situation. Most of us have to deal with an existing situation and compromise over the install. Perhaps you could address that in a follow up video……! Love the series.😎

Perfect timing for this video because this is my next job in my house!!! Is it coincidence? There are no coincidences ...

Great job! Water isn’t going to be an issue with work like that!
It was a pleasure meeting Sam too. I have the feeling he’ll love the building game, and just imagine if he helps Roger out with filming, it would be great!

Great job lads you guys are better than college I don't go a day without watching one of your videos I've learnt alot, keep these videos up

I used that waterproof upstand on the shower in my current house, 7 years later and no leaks. Would definitely recommend it. 😃

Nice touch to give some to Sam on the vid! We need to make sure new generation of tradesmen are clever willing individuals. Looking forward to seeing if Sam made the cut :-)

I kept being told while learning years ago and stand by it to this day, always by pro builders and engineers some are insane at what they do if going to do a job do right first time

My first project (I'm training as an architect) started on site in October and I'm loving every minute of it. Had a few tricky bits relating to sewers beneath our footings but the job is flying along. I try and get down on site weekly and the enjoyment you get from seeing something you've worked on and designed for the past year progressing on a weekly basis around drawings you've toiled over is phenomenal.

Great video. I've fitted a number of showers and shower trays over the years, in a DIY capacity, and have experienced issues with a few down the line. Mainly because I've used the wrong materials. But from now on I think I'll be investing a little more and doing it your way.

Hi guys - I may be wrong on this, but I noticed you're using CM Seal tape in the video and not Classi Seal tape as per the description? The only reason I noticed is because just this week I've been fitting my Mira Flight shower tray and I've been following this video meticulously. Honestly, it's been fantastic and I don't think I could have done without it so thanks for that. I went ahead and purchased Classi Seal which is pretty different to the tape in the video - it's quite a thick rubber and the upstand portion only protrudes around 30/40mm above the top of the shower tray once fitted. I'm all fitted and at the membrane phase (2nd coat) and it's been quite difficult to use the Classi Seal on one of the edges that has around a 5mm gap to the wall - the tape is pretty stiff and tries to peal itself from the wall as you're applying the membrane. The tape in the video would have been perfect. Also, the tanking membrane takes ages to dry on the rubber tape itself. Anyway, just a heads up and if I've got the wrong end of the stick just ignore me 🤣

Good luck in your new career Sam, your in safe hands with Rodger and James!!!

I’ve always laid my tray on flexi quick set tile adhesive and never ever had an issue 10years later, I personally wouldn’t ever use silicone to put a tray in but like the wall and tanking lads, it’s nice to see another tradesmen doing it right, that’s what I tell customers if you want it done right you’ll pay more but it’ll last forever

[herjenderlally]

You both are diamonds. Fantastic to watch and very informative. God bless you 🙏.

Get yourself a set of the suction cups window fitters use and it will make lifting the trays so much easier as you have proper handles to hold, especially once they have been put down on the floor. Well worth the few quid they cost.

[DobermanDave]

Great attention to detail, I'm impressed with your no nonsense approach. .... Belt & braces it really is the only way, keep up the sterling work 👍😉

[JamesHeming]

Just found you guys. Love the videos. Really useful seeing it all in real time + banter!

[madgebishop]

do love a shower tray fitting video, proper belt and braces...makes me wonder how many bathroom fitters etc would be as thorough

[chrisprintall]

You guys definitely appear to be skilled & care about doing a good job.
Just one point, I work in an office (I'm a surveyor) & we have LOTS of laughs. This is my last & best job before retiring & I'm reluctant to go, even though I have lots of other things I want to do, including using a camera (but for wildlife).
Keep your videos coming. 👍

[dominicmeehan]

I'd pay anything to have these guys do work...Sam is in great hands!
