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

What is the building?

It's a big house, ASHP, UFH & 5 bathrooms. The client owns a HVAC wholesalers so are supplying all the gear, they seem quite happy to give me whatever I want to install!

Didn't quite make it but it's usable and my Son Granddaughter and his wife are now staying with us for a long weekend glad of the rest now 😉 Kop

Little kitchen back splash. Nothing but hassle. Between sparks and plaster it's well screwed.

Boxes sticking too far out the wall. No rubber grommets. Not enough cable to get the tile behind properly. Pulled socket away from wall and live and earth pop out knocking cooker hood lights off.

Sick as a chuff.

From the photo, the cable seems long enough, but they haven't trimmed the sheathing, so it's all very tight.

The irony is that you are being responsible in not wanting to meddle with the wiring as you aren't a sparkie, but whoever wired that rubbish was quite happy to leave it like that. Nice cheap sockets too?

Aye bad photo from me it's the fused spur in bottom corner of first pic.

Here it is with the tiles just in behind.

Apparently sparky was a "friend" of the customer.

Back boxes don’t look deep enough imo.

Back boxes don’t look deep enough imo.

Only 19mm. The cooker socket is only wired in 2.5mm.

And the week gets better. Vanity wc and basin out. Move basin and centre the wc.
Course theres tiles behind vanity says customer.
Oh no there isnt.

On the plus side the new wc centres itself 🤣🤣

i see mr snake

It's a double snake. 2 pushed into each other, with an uphill climb.

 

[Jim Goodenough]

It's a roper Rhodes dual event concealed shower with bath filler so no taps on the bath Jim bit tricky needs to be 85mm in the wall doesn't leave much to get it securely fitted but it's doable . Regards Wayne 😉👍

Thanks Wayne,
Does it function well?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Trying to keep ahead of the plasters who have been brought a week forward by the builders as there running behind

Had to zoom in on that radiator photo, thought you’d ran pipework out of the plasterboard, and a bit rough too 🤣🤣

 

[SimonG]

Anybody lost any hep fittings? 🤣🤣

What was the complaint, pis5 poor flow rate or noise? 😉

Should have been a bit of both. Water was dizzy.

Just a continuation of works from earlier in the week.

Now having to redo whole floor and tidy up pipework under the bath.

Oh and fit a new shower, create new bath panel.

Originally it was vanity basin, wc, enclosure, shower tray out. Patch up tiles and fit new tray, enclosure, toilet and wc.

Now it's new shower, new basin in different location, smaller tray and enclosure, new toilet moved over 18", new towel rail and pipework, re tile floor, tile where bits missing and redo the whole floor.

Onwards and upwards.

Nearly Friday 🍻🍻🍻👍
