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

I like the set up, but most of the coring I do is old stone with crap in the middle. Dont knowvhowvit would fare against that.

Day off today.
Changed front brake pads.
Been for christmas tree.
On fitting new living room carpet.

Turns out the builder didn’t finish his job levelling they base for the boiler so couldn’t core the hole yet as chances are it will be wrong

well no had to hand make a hole in the wall with the trusty coal chisel, don’t miss them days 😀

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Well the builder pss me off today

spent yesterday first fixing the wastes to the internal stub and noted to them they would need a low level pan due to first fix drainage in the wrong place 6” too far forward So close wouldn’t fit

came today to find all my waste that I did yesterday ripped out and them jackhammering there waste out to move it closer due to low level systems being “too expensive” to say I wanted to swing for someone would be an understatement

least my first and second fix heating system passed pressure test 😀

only had one leak only on an elbow on a drop

Work in progress for me too, start of second fixing a refurb in Kent.

 

[Ben-gee]

I know it’s in a loft or something but if you will be tasked with maintaining it in the future I would try and get the combination valve up above the cylinder 😏.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

How are you finding the duo plugs on therm block ?

Superb, I bent a galv back plate pushing on the threaded rod and the screws didn't budge!

I get you, it would make it a quicker job to swap it over.

 

[Ben-gee]

Yes, and the annual maintenance on the filter / which obviously we know will never happen! They only call you for these when they go wrong.

Do you like the Walraven plastic pipe clips?

I've started using them they're expensive but very handy.

@SimonG i can see why you don’t fit firebird they leak and the flues are a pita to fit trying to get the little plastic clips in and everything feels cheap

I've fitted 3 this year.
1st one an external combi, pcb was goosed.
2nd one an internal combi, the plastic flues are absolute tat.
3rd one, another external combi, it's about 2 months old and the diverter valve is goosed.

I think all oil combi boiler are absolute cack. Much prefer a Hounsfield and an unvented.

 

[Ben-gee]

Fitted a wall hung Aquaclean today (about £4000, I kid you not?!).

Well, I invoked plumber’s privilege and tried it out first as I think it’s one of the rules. Don’t suppose customer would be too thrilled!

 

[Scott_D]

CP12 on this 😹
Who would fit a boiler here!!

 

[king of pipes]

[Harvest Fields]
