crazy times
Made a start on the Viessman 222 - f upgrade got rid of most of the old but boiler is still on route we ran a new gas in and made a start on the pipework alterations . Kop
Took the wife for a bit of exercise this morning a nice long walk she's been in for 5days and as I am now home for the foreseeable I think it will be a regular thing, the prom was deserted only the odd jogger or dog walker so people are taking the advice given only going out for exercise alot...
Thanking you kindly ............
I need to get to a horizontal flue while
Replacing a boiler.
It’s on the 3rd floor and about 12m high
Higher than my triple extension and seems to be higher than most for sale.
Any ideas other than a scaffold?
Hi all,
Have an ongoing issue with a customer who was told by someone that because her flue on 4th story does not have a collar the building will be uninsurable?? Basically an inspection took place whereby a report has found flue to be not to current standard and advised to fit collar. I agreed...
Doesn’t know what’s leaking but knows how long it will take to fix.
Do you bother explaining or just ignore them?
Many thanks for your estimate following our meeting at The Witham last week.
Considering the relatively small material cost element we feel that the price seems quite high for the work involved. As I am sure you will understand our funds are very restricted as a charitable institution and I...
Hi folks, I've decided I need to venture out on my own as a plumbing and heating engineer. I've spent a little while subbying to big companies on the commercial sites but I feel that it's time I made my own way if possible. I've also been PAYE for a big portion of my time in the trade. The most...
I like Danfoss Rasc2 but they are really creeping up in price.
I liked drayton rt212 until they changed the design and i had a few rattly ones.
Any recommendations? Honeywell, inta ?
Got asked to up tools and leave a full bathroom install the other day by a fella who's now begging me to come back and finish the job having admitted he caved in to his missus' moaning that the job wasn't done yesteryear. My brother has said there's no way on earth we should go back and that...
Just last two times I've been there seen about 20 lengths of fresh 22mm pipe and fire hydrant looking valve thats probably worth at least £100
Surely the thief would have been better off approaching any plumber van outside a shop and offering the pipe for cheap than scrapping it?!
Hi all thought I would share my little development. We were contacted by a nursery to do first and second fix of new kitchen and new boiler install. On the day I assessed the work I saw the owner and he showed me what needs doing. Quote produced with full breakdown and accepted. First warning...
Well chaps it's Christmas Eve I just wanted to wish you all a happy Christmas it's been a tough year for all of us , covid 19 had wrecked peoples lives and businesses and it's still rife in the community, let's hope 20221 sees this brought under control and we all get back to some normality...
Anyone else noticing suppliers arnt keeping much stock eg everyday items like 11/4 elbows or general waste fittings

Who’s vat registered
Is it a massive pain?
Are your accountant fees much higher?
Is there lots more paperwork/book keeping?
Any pros for it such as claiming back on fuel, tools?
Thanks
Well the saga of the grant oil boiler continues. Been waiting since April for it to be delivered and it's at the merchants, been there since Sept 27th.
Had planned to fit it end of week, but weeks going to hell on roller skates.
Back story is oil combi out of kitchen and into courtyard. Boiler...
Hi all.
Got an unpaid invoice for about £80 the landlord refuses to pay. Done a few jobs for her, came out next morning when her tenants boiler packed in. Spent an hour and a half checking it thorugh, aside from a hole in the internal condensate pipe there was a problem with the fan. She...
Hi all sorry that I’ve not been on in a while. Lost my mother and have been struggling to get back on even keel work wise. Hopefully easing back in now and I’ve found an awkward customer situation. Elderly couple with dementia who constantly fiddle with boiler controls and more specifically the...
