    Query about Level 3 qualifications.

    I thought water regs still did it or do you have to go through someone like WaterSafe?

    Query about Level 3 qualifications.

    I done the units water regs and unvented on my L3 but how do you go about getting cards for it rather than pulling out your certs to show competence?

    Query about Level 3 qualifications.

    Hey folks. I noticed when looking at my level 3 certs it said something along the lines of 'water regulations and unvented qualified' does this mean I can apply for the cards to show I'm qualified for these? No idea how it works by the way. Cheers.

    What to charge on servicing and repairs

    I'll have to ask him how much he charges per hour and give me a break down of costs if he wants me to deal with the pricing side of things. I'm just a plumber/technician that works for him so personally I think it's unfair that he has me to deal with this sort of thing when I'm just an employee...

    What to charge on servicing and repairs

    Roughly 4 hours including with having to go and grab the pump from the suppliers. In regards to what my boss charges per hour o don't have a clue. He pays me 'per day' which is rubbish in my opinion but it's money for me at the end of the day. He told me to phone him but I had no signal so...

    What to charge on servicing and repairs

    This question has probably been asked a few times so sorry for that. I done a break down today on a old Worcester Heatslave. Oil pump had gone so I replaced it as well as checked the fan, electrodes etc to see if they were in good condition. I charged 70 quid labour and my boss wasn't happy...

    Fault finding on oil burners

    Thanks for that! I'd appreciate it. Yeah your right but my boss (who's Gas Safe) decided to put me on the oil course to be able to get more work. I might have a chat with a retired plumber I see now and then. He used to be OFTEC but he's hung up his tools. Can tell he misses the tools because...

    Want to become a faster and more efficient plumber

    Just things like pipes being in places where they shouldn't but I put that down to lack of communication. Says one thing and does another sort of thing, really annoys me that I have to go and alter pipework after being on another job all day. I want to be more organised because I find myself...

    Fault finding on oil burners

    Yeah I tried getting hold of a bentone burner manual but couldn't find one online. I love to become good at fault finding because I look at it as that's what defines a good service engineer. So I'm eager to get the grasp of this.

    Fault finding on oil burners

    Any literature online I can get the sequence on paper to go through? Like timing of sequence etc?

    Fault finding on oil burners

    Hey people. Was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks on fault finding on oil burners. I hate turning up to break downs and not having enough confidence when diagnosing the burners. I know there's a process to the firing of the burner but I struggle to figure out what I'm looking for...

    Want to become a faster and more efficient plumber

    Thanks lads. Haha the sparky messed up on the plan from what I remember. No mag on the return because the customer didn't want one (extra cost) if it was up to me I'd put them in on every install, class things. I was thinking more along the lines of organisation and little things like...

    Want to become a faster and more efficient plumber

    Just a few I've done. I'm getting Afro off this builder we do work for and he's also someone who contributed to me being sacked from my previous employer. (Previous employer was a tool but still' I do lack confidence but o suppose that's down to what happened with my apprenticeship
