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

 

[king of pipes]

What do you chaps make of the latest warmzilla ads on the forum how the hell can they do a boiler install for under £1500 not doing us any good is it ?? I can't match their prices and I certainly wouldn't fit for them, a boiler swap and controls upgrade is a ,11/2 - 2 day job cleaning and flushing is 1/2 a day, then there's the removal of all the old boiler , the new boiler to install ,all the making good , electrical work to do,then theres the commissioning and all the paperwork to complete anyone who does it in one is cutting corners, your thoughts chaps ?? .

Warmzilla? Is this referring to BG? They’ll be getting boilers at decent price, if it is BG, then they may have saved when a lot of staff left.

 

[king of pipes]

Nah mate Google them one of these companies who get installers to fit for them and pay around £300 per install so corners get cut , quality installers get squeezed out as they are a grand or more expensive but do everything properly.

Measure twice, cut once.

But been there in the past, it's a real kick in the nads.

He did measure, he just didn't think 😜

Where I went wrong I drew around the trims on the wall as it’s an old property except it goes in the trim either side 15mm feck

I don’t use internal corner trims, butt and scribe and then a minimal silicone bead is better I think.

However need trims on edges, although have you tried Aquamura, they do a 1200 board with one long edge finished the same as the surface - really neat job possible without a single trim used!

Yeah I use the end trims, just not the corners. Not convinced how water tight they are, the board only lips in 5mm or so. No haven't heard of them, tbh I always use MultiPanel as haven't had any issues with them. I'll have a look 👍🏻

 

[Harvest Fields]

Multipanel for me and a bead of silicone down the edge of the internal corners
