Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Feb 28, 2024 1:15 pm hi. We recently had an extension built to our home via a Victorian company. The laundry is basically a niche in the hallway. We had tiles on the plan, but once the Tassy Oak floor was being laid, the carpenter did the flooring all the way to the wall and it looked great. What we were left with, was 490mm from the cupboards to the edge of the nice - and the Building Surveyor is saying we MUST tile this as it was on the plan. If we want to keep it as floorboard we need to get a "Peformance Solution". We didn't tile as it became obvious that a strip of tiles would forever be a trip point. And I do not understand what difference that would make as there is and never was a floor drain in that space, and any water would just flow onto the floorboards anyway. I'm yet to find a $$ on how much a performance solution will cost, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any advice around this... ? I feel very lost and can't get any help from anywhere really.

Thats you first big problem. Subject to the type of floor product and if it can handle a bit of water, your next issue is IF your laundry tub has 2x bypasses, 1x for the washing machine hose & 1x for the tub to overflow. A performance solution will generally set you back somewhere between $1800 to $2800 + gst. You could ask your certifier if they can suggest someone, they just can't do one themselves (certifiers can't sign-off on their own solutions.
