I bought a flat pack shower screen brand new which I need assembled by 1-2 strong people, I can assist if needed, however I can’t do this by myself. It is ready to assemble. All instructions come in the box. Would also appreciate if you are able to silicone/ caulk/ waterproof the edges against the floor and wall tiles. Bathroom is eventually being demolished so doesn’t need to be perfect but just needs to work. Please only respond if you have done this before.

Darren completed the assembly and installation of my flat pack shower screen so efficiently (in two hours!) and without any issues. He was polite, friendly, and on-time. I would definitely recommend.
