In the meantime we have plasterboarded around the circular window and the room has now been skimmed and painted. Sockets and four of the six lights have been fitted also.

We have also started tiling in the en-suite. After preparing with concrete Hardiebacker boards and tanking out with a marmox shower tray and a tanking kit the tiles have started to go down.
We purchased 600 x 600 porcelain tiles from a company called Mandarin Stone and had them delivered on a pallet prior to Christmas.
The way the wet room shower trays work, means that the tiles must be cut to follow the contours of the tray to allow correct drainage. In order to do this we needed a large tile cutter and found one at B&Q that could cut up to 900mm long tiles so was ideal for the diagonal cuts we needed. The cutter was just over £70.00 but is far cheaper than other brands, and to be honest it is fantastic, giving a very straight cut with no scruffy edges.
