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

Squeezed in a 3 day job into two due to resits

was only supposed to remove cylinder so the floor could be renewed due to it falling apart and move the port valve (3 port) and pump upstairs

ignore the existing wonky pipes 😀

Looks good kop.

Call tonight just before I took the granddaughter to all stars cricket.
I got your number off of one of your customers.
I have a firebird combi and its smoking.
I responded with, right.
Then to be told the he had changed the nozzle and cleaned the baffles.
I asked whether it was condensing or standard and who normally services it.
Oh I bought it second hand, fitted it myself but it wont work.
Do one! I replied. Not interested in sorting out your $hit.
But i need it to work.

Don't you just love people who think its acceptable to fiddle with oil burners on their own. Farmers are usually the worst. Someone I grew up with has an oil boiler, I offered my assistance several times and he chucked it back in my face. He told me one day oh I ran out of oil, to which I replied do you know how to bleed the system? His response was yes, I've done it myself and improved the efficiency by 15% 😂🤦🏻‍♂️.

Absolute s*** day today, all day for a effin immersion heater!!!!
Firstly the drain off wouldn’t open, then the gatevalve wouldn’t close, had other issues with leaks due to fittings, immersion wouldn’t budge, the tried to clear an airlock that turned out to be a faulty float valve. 😡😡😡😩😩😩

One of the times I wanted to give it all up 😒

I'm like you H I love a little job I'd rather do them 10 of them rather than one big job I probably earn more if I'm honest , servicing can earn well and although brain numbingly boring it's totally necessary small faults get picked up and repaired 4 of them a days is £400 + . Kop
