Gaps ..tile cement will be used apparently!

Plastered ceiling then taped backing boards so taping goes into ceiling...

Thank you all for your sound advice and time. Tiler coming tomorrow then plumber going to grout Monday. Movement gaps have been filled in but still previous old adhesive and rawplugs protruding.....apparently tiler starting in nearest corner of window wall then going round room......always thought work from centre point of main wall (in this case where shower head is on back wall) so adjustments either side can be made. Wet room base has been sunk in floor, but vinyl heat sealing on floor will be done later in week....I know this goes up wall a few inches with trim onto the bare waterproof backing boards, is this normal...

Thank you Temp, appreciate this. If not this time then will bear in mind for my own bathroom I intend doing shortly.

Thank you all for your input which I appreciate. I stood my ground with Surveyor of Grants team and pleased the normal PB was all removed Aquaboards put up and jointed. Ceiling got mist coat today. Insert has been laid today, tiler weekend, heat sealed flooring next week. Small bathroom with largish tiles, no mosaics etc. Politely suggested they review their specifications on future jobs in accordance with B/Regs good practice and to do a job fit for purpose.

Advice please. Having a disabled level access shower installed through the Grant system. I have concerns about the project thus far. Plumber did not want to channel main wall where shower will be so used normal plasterboard. I know from experience this is not suitable due to it going to being a wet room/shower. Sadly he said he always does it, no tanking or taping of joints...very worrying. Planning on just tiling over PB. Gaps to the sides and bottom. When I mentioned tanking was as if I was speaking a 2nd language. Wall not prepared correctly - raw plugs protruding, some gloss paint still, and remnants of wall paper and a few holes. Also there is some movement cracks, not subsidence have had a Surveyor, on the window end wall. One is large enough to get a pen a little way in. I queried the filling of these as not done and plans to just fill with tile cement. I told him to cancel tiler as not happy with works todate, he suggested I let tiler do 3 of the 4 walls until we sort it out with Grants team. Did not agree to this as not how I understand tiling is done, especially as main wall is where the tiling should be started and obviously all bathrooms run off one way or the other. Clarification, does tiling commence prior to the shower tray is inserted into the floor or after as the vinyl flooring needs to be heat sealed a little way up the wall? Either way means will be a few inches or bare PB at the crucial bottom part...a disaster in my mind as have woiden floor boards and kitchen below...will always be waiting for a leak. 4 days in of a 3 week job! Never heard anything like it. My gut instinct is to tell him to not proceed with any further works.

This the shower cable plumber put in..PB affixed with adhesive...edges bare....just plans to tile....
