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

Just received an invitation to tender. Small kitchen extension, new underfloor and move extend soil and vent.

I now the customer well, shes employed an 'architect'.

Umpteen attachments including the plumbing spec. Think hes just trying to justify his large fees.

Going to reply, copy in customer, asking is he really sure he wants 32mm traps on the kitchen sinks 🤣🤣

Another one bites the dust :D not 100% happy with this one might recommend removing the bottom sections and coming out of the ground as the top bit is heading to the left

but it was pussing it down so cba atm got to go back to remove the old one and brick up

yep also if you look at the flush pipe it’s not totally round and hadn’t been cut very well and leaked ever since install only just noticed due to carpet getting wet about 10 feet away

Very interesting had a similar job 2-3 weeks ago, insurance job and I was stripping out for a builder and I found the flush pipe had been leaking at the cistern connection for a lonngg time! Would hard water perish the rubber seal??

Easily done, however a professional plumber would check & check again if he was a professional plumber!

When I refitted the one mentioned above I flushed the wc at least 10x to check no leaks!

That's the thing with water it tracks and may not appear near to where it's actually leaking from - as you guy's in the Plumbers Arms know DO IT RIGHT FIRST TIME>>>>

Fitted this rad during the week - must've weighed at least 50 kgs. SIP walls with roofing batten and plasterboard so had to polyurethane glue timber between plasterboard and SIP to get a decent fixing.

Got one like this to fit in a house where I have already fitted 2 verticals and a horizontal in an extension. I like them but they are heavy and I’m a big lad.
