Tiling onto plaster for shower/bath

[king of pipes]

Tiling methods and materials have progressed greatly over the last 10 years, same old story though with change comes extra cost and there will always be tradesmen who cut corners building regs don't even get a second thought. Kop

Think you may be referring to new regs on tiling from N H B C. that came in this year.
Building regs on tiling changed in 2018 (BS 5385-1)
Main change was to exclude plywood as a tile back board.

NHBC are an insurance company LOL, they have no statutory authority. Just like the regulation a(1)a from WRAS which headline in red at the top of the regulations

For the reasons above, WRAS accepts no liability for loss of goodwill, business, revenue or profits,
anticipated savings or wasted expenditure (whether reasonably foreseeable or not) or indirect or
consequential loss arising from or in connection with this guidance document.

I have tiles on marine ply done more than 15 years ago by my dad in a let flat. Still going strong today.

Your first sentence contains a typo so not sure what you mean. The link would be helpful, but all it does is link to the channel. What's the name of the video in question please?

Sorry here are the videos i was on about

Hmm. We're talking about British Standards. Does the relevant building regulation make specific reference to the British Standard. If not, I'm not sure we can talk about it being 'outlawed' as the video presenter puts it.

I'm getting rather cynical these days. Seems to me we're pushing higher standards to force people to use certain proprietary products and I wonder whose interest we're really working in.
