I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Bathroom refresh. Everything staying but new tiles, new flooring and new bath panel.

Got to love a small tile.

What's with the prison bars (I do know what they're for) ?

Scott_D · Jul 22, 2020

Yuk WB CDI compact. Hate those green hinges

Never ever will I fit a crosswater frameless single pivot door quad again , the glass door is far to heavy for the fixing supposed to support it , I fitted a extra diagonal bracing for my own piece of mind nightmare to fit and very very poor design , fitted a new extract fan worked a treat .

I have had an eventful day. Spent all day chasing a blockage on the hot water side of the system. Vaillant conventional and ancient 200 litres copper cylinder with 4 draw offs. Cold flow also poor upstairs. Changed 2 swing valves that I thought had seized. 1 was seized the other only partially open. Refilled, still the same issue. Customer comes home and I say has it always been like this, he say no, normally pressure good. I say your pipework is all over the place and there is a lot of up
And down runs. You should have a power pump on your system really. (Can anyone guess what he said then?)

ShaunCorbs · Jul 25, 2020

That’s normal ?

classic of the Cus wasting time by not giving you the full story

Ben-gee · Jul 25, 2020

We switched it off cos it was too noisy?

Or the old classic, it was alright ‘til you got here - and we got a better signal on the radio, you must’ve done something.

Harvest Fields · Jul 25, 2020

We do have a power pump it’s in the hidden loft space on the 1st floor. The joys of being a plumber

When the forum changed, I think he just changed credentials to @centralheatking? (Was always signing off as that anyway, or setting stuff on fire 😂)

Yep, don't know what a service is? Set it on fire and see what happens. He actually basically said that. One of my favourite posts of all time that. Someone found a black pipe in their garden and didn't know what it was and he was just like "Set fire to it" 😂

Where is he though?

I don’t know, according to the info on here, he was last seen June 20th? (This year) as ch king.

I think I possibly remember the post.

Stigster · Jul 26, 2020

I like the fact that despite his suggestion being a bit extreme, it would also have actually worked!

Pour some petrol on it and set fire to it (I think those were the exact words LOL!)

If it melts and reveals cable or starts arcing, electricity.
If it melts, goes PFFT sprays water everywhere and self extinguishes, water.
If it melts and continues to burn slowly but surely with an ever increasing fire area, oil.
If it melts and shoots a jet of lovely flames, gas.
If nothing much happen the service is disused and you can proceed to ignore or remove it.

Aquarius · Jul 26, 2020

Tbh I haven’t seen much of @townfanjon either, but just checked and he was on here last in June as well.

Hey KOP, I had exactly the same about 18 mths ago (I think I posted about it on here). The MI's drove me mental, I emailed them and offered to rewrite the install instructions the weren't in the least interested, even snobby! The amount of time I spent pffaffing around with it adjusting, to ensure no trickle from the magnetic seal.... I should have charged another £1000... for all the stress, hassle and downtime. 🤪

P.S. Agree absolutely "Never ever will I fit a crosswater frameless single pivot door quad again" neither will I until they agree to pay me to re-write the installers instructions.
