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

 

[MOSSEP]

Look pukka, nice basin cabinet!

 

[Plumbernoob]

I block the numbers, but my land line phone only has a 100 blocked call limit, so soon fills up, have to delete and start again.

Yep, the same stuff, but with my mobile 💩 . Looking for calls blocking app, but the apps collect a lot of your data. So I`m thinking what to choose. 🤨

Things are going well now.

I used to use an app for call blocking - I can't remember the name but the logo was an octopus. I think it was called Should I answer?

Now ready for the bath when it arrives 😁 kop

Test point on the cold mains ?

On my Ecotec?
I had fitted a shock arrestor but for some reason it was causing the hot pipe to bang when the basin tap was used. Took it off and banging stopped.

Strange mate ??

 

[Scott_D]

Strange mate ??

Yeah I was baffled, Didnt have a pump to check the pressure.
No deadlegs but there is some old and unclipped pipework under the floor including some 3/4 copper

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Sounds like the mains pressure is below 3 bar so might need reducing

 

[SimonG]

18 year old through the wall mounted oil worcester. Customer had loads of issues with original installer. Looked after it for about 6 years, sorted all the issues re not holding pressure, wired wrong etc etc etc.
Went to service it today.

Cheers. 5 weeks. Everything moved, single storey extension on back making it nigh on impossible to get at what used to be the external pipes and things arriving not as what the customer told me originally.
Start a nice 4 day bathroom tomorrow. Bath out, free standing one in and replace the pine cladding behind it. New toilet, new basin and a little 760 square shower cubby hole that's getting wet walled.

I am finding jobs are taking longer than expected mate the finishing touches seem to take forever 😅 people really don't appreciate how much work goes onto these, i used to be able to do one in 2-3 weeks 5-6 k parts and labour now creeping like you 4-5 weeks but the extra time is not relative to the labour cost i find it hard to charge more than 3.5 k for labour in my area break it down into day rate then it not great how do you work out the labour cost ?? Regards Wayne ( kop)

Labour is normally 2 to 3 weeks. Customer knows this one is going way over. Will sit down tonight and do the invoice for them.
