Quality job, well done, I am a little puzzled about the access to the bath trap and waste pipe, also with the quality of the bathroom equipment used and your time spent waterproofing etc, surprised you didn’t use a de coupling mat on the floor which would be stuck to the floor with tile adhesive and then tiled directly to it, saves a big step into a lovely bathroom,
What an absolute pleasure to watch Roger! As a time served plumber and bathroom fitter, I can’t stress enough just how easy you made that look. Your explanations and attention to detail are brilliant and most likely will spur youngsters on to want to go into the profession. I will be incorporating abacus into my own bathroom once the extension is finished. Thankyou for all you do Roger and keep up the fantastic work!

To be fair there is generic information in this video that can apply to any bathroom. The fact that Abacus put up the money for the production is something we value. We could not have made it without them.
This is what KZread was invented for! Roger you are the best! Really like the video and Abacus seems to have really understood the market place and I will be using their solutions in my up coming bathrooms and private client work, thanks to you and Abacus for this information and instructions

This Guy is very well respected throughout the british plumbing industry. Has been writing columns for outr trade mags for many years. he is the one to listen too when you need the right advice.
I'm 36 just going through my level 2 plumbing, eventually I'll move onto level I also ran my own construction company until so called tradesmen ran it into the ground, it's really refreshing to see that there are still guys like yourself that care about what there doing, people's mistakes cost me thousands and eventually my business, so it's back to square one but I'm determined to do it right this time and be the guy that everybody calls to get the job done and it's watching people like yourself that really make that possible THANK YOU

Never been so excited to watch a 57 minute video. Excellent job as usual and exceptional editing. You are the man. Thumbs way up even before the video ends. 👍
I would make a rather unusual comment here, and it is about UK. After seeing scores of videos from all over the world, I think the videos from UK are the best. And you Roger are somewhere right at the top. The amount, quality and usefulness of the content is top grade on each count. Thanks mate. Really grateful. The worst, IMHO, are from US where you have to deal with the ego and self praise of the person presenting the video. There is LOT of faffing around and the juice is scarcely 15 percent in terms of words and time. No doubt there are some brilliant videos from Americans and many bad videos from UK as well, but overall these are non comparable.
As a maintenance engineer I like the easy of access to all the isolation values and the daily in water proof makes it look extremely professional 👍 top marks.
This might be the BEST educational video EVER seen for how to make a bathroom/wet room. Thank you for taking so great care of our craftmanship and getting people to understand why solid work actually cost more than east-european crapworkship. The only thing we do different here in Norway, is to cover the entire walls with OSB sheets, under the cement sheets. Then you can have 60 cm c/c studs, and thinner cement sheets. Details thus. Thanks and best regards from Plumber in Norway.
Found this when looking for tips to fit my new bathroom. I’ve fitted several but always looking for new tips I have to say I really like this guy. No patronising bullshit, this guy is great! These frames seem much nicer than the ones I’ve used from eBay in the past. That basic frame looks very nice. I’m having a couple of those definitely. And the toilet frame looks much more friendly than the two types I’ve used in the past. Top bloke 👍
I am in the middle of a major renovation /extension project. I have to fit out a bathroom and two ensuite rooms. This video has been brilliant and informative. Roger, I am massively impressed by your presentation generally and I have subscribed. I suspect I will be watching lots more videos of yours! Cheers for this fantastic free resource.
Absolutely amazing job. Watched it start to finish and totally impressed how the work was carried out. Fancy coming to do mine?
WOW! That was a pleasure to watch and I have learnt so much! Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I can see already you are the Ed China of the plumbing world ie does it properly the first time, looking forward to watching more of your content, thank you :)
Thanks for posting this. Being following your tips and advice for years, and after seeing your video on shower trays my confidence in bathroom fitters has dropped further, so will be saving and watching this with a view to doing my bathroom myself!
Absolutely brilliantly done roger! I have just done my bathroom install on my level 2 6035 It looked nothing like this one 😂 Thank you for sharing your years of experience with us all
I am in the process of changing two en suites changed in my house. I thought I would watch this to see what's involved. Very impressive. Hope the guy who fits mine is as knowledgeable and uses the same techniques as this guy. Top job.
AWESOME !!! I absolutely am overjoyed to watch you; Roger ; and Robin. I learn soooo much and its soooo clear. SPOT ON ROGER!!! SPOT ON !!!
Fitted my off the floor toilet and wash basin using Geberit UP200 and basin frame way back in 2013. Put Geberit's duofix metal channeling under and behind the toilet and basin frame. Plasterboard then just screwed onto the duofix. My plumbers had never seen anything like Geberit kit. I had to fit the Geberit frames to the wall myself as back then they didn't have a clue. I agree with you that Abacus have a very compelling set of solutions. Well explained set of options and things to be considered. Fitted Villeroy & Boch Subway toilet and V&B Sentique 800mm basin.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Very detailed, Very good standard & workmanship.
I really like the detail and positive demeanor you put into this video.
I'm right in the middle of doing my bathroom and I have been following this advice to the letter (from the Abacus video on their own feed) . It is looking excellent. Thanks Roger!
Mate that’s some quality workmanship i must say I’m very impressed. I wish my customers were more willing to spend money on the extra bits of protection but after seeing this video I can show them and I’m sure that’s enough to change any customer mind to spend that bit extra thanks :)
Wow a fantastic job roger! Really interesting to watch. One of your best videos yet!
Don't think I've ever watched a video for 50 minutes,but watched yours till the very end.. Brilliant job, great workmanship 👍

another great bathroom video... I am feeling more and more confident to carry out my own shower waterproofing, and to think i was going to tile on plasterboard !! I now know better... thank you and great to see new products and new ways to do things, i want my bathroom to last for years to come...
I could watch this guy all day! His work is so satisfying and makes me want to train as a plumber
Very helpful with the added entertainment factor of having exactly the same voice as Billy Murray!
Excellent video, and a valuable resource. This channel needs more than 43k subscribers
Great video mate. I'm a third year apprentice and this is really helpful!
This is just what I need, as I'm going to strip out and renew my bathroom. Thanks Roger! 😊
Roger, excellent video from start to finish, thank you. We've just renovated our bathroom, using the waterproof backboards (Nassboards) and sealing kits throughout from Abacus, and installed German steel framed supports (purchased separately in Germany on a trip and brought back over here - far cheaper) hidden behind studding for both the sink and hanging toilet, hidden cistern, etc. All gone very successfully and this video helped enormously. Our finished bathroom now looks superb, 4 star hotel standard.

Hi Paul I am so glad it all worked out, it is actually a lot easier than the old style bathroom with everything on show.
Amazing video, this must be the first full hour video i have watched uninterrupted, great detailed instruction, this has inspired me to go and put the kettle on and have a nice cuppa, cheers.
It does not get any better than this anywhere, a truly superb quality Product fitted by a top quality trades man. Pure Pleasure for me to watch this, love it . Thank you.
Excellent video Roger, I really enjoy watching you explain plumbing in simple terms
Thanks for a very comprehensive installation guide. I went on the abacus website but couldn't find the bathroom kit you used which clearly made the entire job much easier.
Just started watching your vids mesmerising how you create a truly amazing bathroom..got a lot of knowledge on how to do it the right way keep these coming please 👍👍
Master.. master of his craft.. I am in the states and he is absolutely a perfectionist in his craft. I am not a plumber, or a tile person, but just watching him and his standards are as good as it can get. Just amazing.
A class all the way Rog' Also, well done to Abacus, a family company serving the larger family of plumbers. I'm a construction pro since '85 and the Abacus system certainly is a 'problem' prevention bit of kit, well worth the money to install.
Great to see a shelve not silicone sealed in and with future maintenance in mind. Love the European isolator valves as well. Thanks for sharing.
I normally stay away from videos that are this long but I have to say this was an enlightening 1 hour.
Great job man, I've done severals "Abacus" products and I really please with then high quality....
tidy job roger,,,,there was me thinking i was the only one who done a quality job,,,now there is two of us
Lots of good tips for folk - tradesmen included - in this video chap. Good job.
Put this man in school and let him teach the apprentices, easy to listen to and a wealth of knowledge, superb.
As an architect, I salute your clear thinking and explanation of necessary details, bravo!
That was a great video Roger, Im a tiler by trade 36 years... but been involved in complete installs of bathrooms over the last 15 years on and off when a customer don't want to get involved in organising all the different trades. It's great to watch you at work and it just reinsurers that i'm still doing all the correct stuff to create a beautiful bathroom. It was just like watching me install a bathrooms same process. I enjoy all your video Roger keep them up there great.... Cheers :-)

Another fantastic job Roger. I f I was refurbishing my bathroom, I would do everything you do, particularly after watching your video. I do fit bathrooms when asked, as a carpenter (our two trades cross paths ) but i find it difficult to be competitive when doing this kind of work,. Like you I won't compromise by old school work practices but do find I price many jobs that I don't get. I think you covered a lot of those point in your podcast with Robin. Very interesting and useful video. Thanks Roger.

I love this video, just come back and watched this a second time as a means to plan a bathroom in a project for 2019. Is there a separate product list for the video?
Great vid. . You have an awesome personality. A pleasure to watch.
This is top rate. How nice for once that manufactures have thought about those doing the fitting and servicing. Not sure what you pay Roger in sponsorship Abacus but it is not enough. I am now going to get one of your bathrooms!
Thank you - I actually feel like I could install my bathroom myself.
If only the bathrooms were all fitted out this way, great instructional video.
Great information and I really like the background music.
Simply brilliant, thanks for great info
Roger , your video's are very informative and have really given me a great insight into planning my extension. Thanks for making these brilliant videos and wish you were local so that I could pass on the work to you. :-)
I could Abakiss you after watching this master class. Amazing.
Extremely professional great to watch !

Amazing.... What a great job.... Proper plumber best I have ever seen 👍

Thanks! It’s really useful having these step by step “from to box” instructions to follow. You are doing the DIY’er a great service Roger!
I honestly don't think the boxing in of the pipe ALWAYS looks bad. it can look naff, but it can also make a low shelf. It depends if you have the room to lose. Older houses tend to be tight on space at the best of times. But still loving the idea of this. Just making the case for the old methods. :) The bog brush has to sit somewhere ;)
I would like to see another one of these videos Rodger. Very informative.
Architect drawings always says "do not scale from these drawings" they don't expect you to follow slavishly as all site conditions vary and they are working at 1:50, they are in an office and they realise of these drawings are a guide, what they are doing is an indication of what they want it to look like ! Great video thanks.
Hey Rodger great video, well shot and very detailed. I, like many of the others here remember your TV shows and I loved watching them. I sat and watched this video and enjoyed every minute of it. We are planning a loft conversion to start soon and I absolutely want to use everything I have seen here the en-suite and although I am a confident DIYER and can do most things, I think this might a bit above me, but saying that, a lot of trades people - like you mention - are afraid to try new technology, so for that reason I may well just give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.
