Thanks for the replies.
im going to run a perimeter nogging, then two rows of 4x 2 noggings going the length of the floor. All glued amd screwed. The sleeper walls are level, so I'm sure I can get the floor flat and level. Will have to do some packing on the sleeper walls, after making all the pipework alterations I've talked the customer into letting me fit 50mm kingspan between the joists, ( extra cost). Then fitting 22mm ply, glued and screwed ready for the aqua4ma wet room tray and floor panels.

thats in theory anyway.

You clearly know your stuff buddy... You doing the pipework too? :yikes:

Might be a good option mate, but with sleeper walls already there , that's the fist option as its the most solid.

Can't call it plumbing if it involves pushfit. Bit like giving a tiler self adhesive porcelain.

Here's this mornings work/ update.
wold have really liked to replace the joists, but I'm on a price and the joists go through into the hallway next to the bathroom.
1st pic shows the gap under one of the joists.
i cut some new packers for under the joists to level the floor and then ran a noggin round the outer edge. This was then secured to the dividing wall.
two other rows of noggins were fitted, one which will go down the centre of the 1st sheet of ply and one to support the ply edge.
the joists which will end up where the shower waste will go have been trimmed too.
have finished the pipework and drainage alterations so will be insulation and fitting plywood tomorrow . Got to get the ceiling boarded by lunchtime as the plasterer is coming!

brilliant stuff mate looks a lot neater and safer now!.. did the packers you mentioned go all around the perimeter of the room to bring it all up level? or just used to sit under the ones that were not quite sitting correctly? cheers
