What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

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

Anchor at the top where the brick jumps out then a 4-1 pulley and yes plenty you even have to insert a plug first to make it easier for the pipe to go in, so plug in lube the pipe up remove the plug insert the pipe around 40kg of pressure needed (roughly) helps if the rubbers are warm will take a pic of the fitting tomorrow

Toilet overflow ?? Any reason

C'mon, I repiped the cold and got rid of the boxing on the wall under the window.


Seriously though, didn't want to pay for a new syphon, even though I had the toilet apart.
I would have changed it, but there you go.
Sods law, is it may need one now anyway.

The floors the best bit, nearly a full tile, 65mm, from one side to the other. I said I could level it, but again didn't want to pay.

On your own Shaun, you must have some 'guns'?

Cor I've wrestled with a few cc cistern overflow's in my lifetime - was great when England approved internal overflows (warning pipes) - on the other hand how much water is wasted down the pan every year........??

I concur Mr Corbs. (20 character ruling - think I preferred the 5 word 😂 )

I think people tend to get them fixed quicker with the internal overflows.

But it's one of those jobs where its dripped for 4 months but it's an emergency at 4.00 on a friday afternoon.

I think people who have water meters tend to get them fixed quicker

Although have seen some extended with a hosepipe to a gulley😳

Naa has the old man with me holding the rope from the pulley f doing cast on my own been there done that takes longer

 

[SimonG]

Had somebody message me this morning, I need an outside tap fitting tomorrow.

It didn't end well.

Apparently me saying it would be at least 3 weeks was totally unacceptable.

Go figure.

 

[Harvest Fields]

I booked a job for the end of September today. Was surprised when they said ok.

 

[Ben-gee]

I looked at one last night, told them booked up until end November- we pencilled it for ‘next spring’.
It been kicking around for over a year already due to listed buildings lot .

 

[SimonG]

Anybody else finding it's gone absolutely manic?

 

[Harvest Fields]

[ShaunCorbs]

Yep upto sept atm but that’s normal for us this time of year with schools

 

[SimonG]

Once upon a time I found February to be really quiet followed by August, not anymore.

I dont like booking too far in front in case things go breasts up.

 

[ShaunCorbs]
