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

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Did you get the tile out without smashing it?????

didn’t even attempt it as it’s the only one no spare got the owner to do it hence the grinder marks and chips on the tiles

 

[SimonG]

Strange place to fit a Fan?

Works a treat.

Back monday afternoon. Had to put a rake of filler round the new fan.

Anyone noticed services taking longer due to boilers not being done on their 12 month routine? ? I keep finding niggly weeps and dirter heat exchangers all add to extra time on the job this one is gonna be a bit more this time ££££ grrr. Kop

Unfortunately no, don’t really do servicing, more of a visual, gas rate, FGA , it’s what the company wants. Don’t think I’ve ever serviced anything at all😩

That's grimy, those ones definitely take ages. Had one last week that hadn't had a service in the 12 years its been fitted, was an absolute state, especially as the ceiling had come down at some point and the expansion vessel at the back (ariston micro genus he, so its exposed) was covered in huge chunks of plaster, that was fun to replace. The inside was also full of grit and flies and the heat exchanger was nasty. I should probably charge a bit extra if they haven't been serviced in 3+yrs.


Is the portable power washer in the picture good? Haven't seen one of those before.

Yes mate it does the job ideal for washing out heat exchangers and sumps the end unscrews and pulls off leaving a 8mm pipe which is really handy for tight spots . Cheers kop

I suppose it would depend on fga results if they’re ok, then it gets left, loads of our stock of Vaillant’s are 10 - 12 years no strip down🤫 it really p****s me off, because I’d love to strip them down, but they’re monitoring costs etc now ffs. Might also be why I’m not the best on fault finding😔

self employment bud is where you should be aiming , i worked for companies for 30 + years making others wealthy before i took the plunge its now 9 years and haven't looked back always busy and my own boss jobs get done right, im happy customers are happy i get more work and recommendations no advertising no website just word of mouth and i am not the cheapest quality costs that little bit more.

Would love to mate, but have a family, mortgage, and I know I’m not good enough yet.

Earth pins mate. Holding the insulation in place. After 9 years would be surprised if they weren’t down to little stubs.
