I am currently undertaking a downstairs bathroom renovation and I am at the point where the room is gutted of the old suite, flooring (just the concrete floor remains) and the plaster of 1 wall. The wall where I have removed the plaster I have affixed stud-work to, in order box things out 40mm or so to hide the sink waste and pipes.
I am a bit unsure as to what to do next, mainly around the proper order and procedure to do with fitting of pipework for the sink. There will eventually be plasterboard fitted over the stud-work and tiles on top of that so I assume I need to put pipes in place next but I am bit unsure of the best way to proceed.
My guess would be:
Pipework is currently at skirting board height, so I run the pipes up the wall to the height I need them, horizontally from there and then cut slots in the plasterboard to put the pipework through as I lift and fit it onto the wall? After that tile the wall around the pipe and measure and drill a hole for the pipe in the tiles they come through, after that is all in place fit an elbow and small section of pipe vertically to go onto the tap, probably with an in-line isolation valve?
