Kyles good crack, he's handled quite a bit of criticism from this topic. Good lad! Your learning well 😛
Agreed. Most the time customers haven't got any idea of whether a job is done well or not. All they know is if it works, was the house kept clean and did the people leave a good impression. I have had people working for me who have taken tops off when working and I have told them to put it back on or get off the job. The image and impression you leave on the customer is massively important.

Good work mate.
I did a boiler install with my GSR last year but I got stung on it big time. (Long story)
My confidence was knocked & still is from it big time.
Before I was doing it the way you are, using the GSR for back up & getting him to do the regulated stuff. Now if it get any boiler installs I leave it all to him. It's a shame but I just can't get my head round back in to doing it.
Give me an absolute bomb site of a kitchen, bathroom, ensuite or ask for the impossible of the previous to be installed & I will do it with no hesitation.
Funny isn't it how one episode of negativity can really knock you down.
Keep it up mate, learn from the experience of doing it & experience of your GSR.

Hope your confidence isn't bruised for long mate. I'm sure everybody has a bad job once in a plumbing career.
I'm sure you'll tell us that story one day and chuckle

Is was on the forum wasn't it Tom, don't remember you chuckling at the time.
That said buddy, you have to dust yourself off and get back on the horse so to speak. Which I'm sure you have done !

Looks good mate. If you have enough time on the next install, try routing the pipes up through the jig, bit fiddly the first time you do it, but becomes second nature after a few goes. But doesn't really matter on this one as you needed to put the filter on underneath.
Also agree with what others said about another set of clips in the vertical drop, don't have to mess around with getting pipes level.
Takes guts to put your work on here!

Regards to mistakes
We're not robots, the best of us makes mistakes, thats the best way to learn.
Just came from TGI's Fridays and the waiter screwed up our orders, dont really care and since he made a mistake we got extra food and a double wammy of a desert for free 😉

When people say I'm brave for putting pics on here. I don't see it that way. I take pride in my work. And I take constructive criticism very well. I know my work isn't bad. I'm not at the level of some people on here by any means but for my level of experience and time I've been in the trade I know I'm doing well.
If someone sees it and says its a bag of carp go home.......well I know to brush it off.
When someone says, hey kyle that isn't bad but it would be better if you do it this way....
Then I get a hell of a buzz off it and feel inspired. It lets me know I'm in the right trade and if I carry on I can only do better.
So thanks peeps!! I appreciate the comments!!

I wish i still had that buzz and felt that way about plumbing lol
Probably from the same stuff like installing a boiler hundreds, thousands of times it all seems the same just different places.
Keep going kyle 🙂

I remember when I start working with the first gas fitter he then installed a combi and I was really buzzing how nice he did all the work and it did make me wonder when he said " just another one on the wall stan " 🙂
Now when I have installed over 500 boilers its just another one for me too , I dont get exited of doing the installs anymore, but what I can take out of the customer with me and pay for my bills ")

Leo what is a vertical clips ?
Do you mean putting more clips on the vertical pipe work ?
Yes Stan, should've said more clips on the vertical pipework.

Are you referring to legionella?
No, to comply with the water regs you need to stop the cold pipe becoming warm, but also when it gets boxed in with heated water pipes it will probably give off alot of condensation causing damp inside the boxing, or worse get you a call back for a leak.
Dhw water pipe should also be lagged to prevent heat loss

Out of interest Kyle, was this your job, or where you working alongside the GS plumber for the experience. The onus being on him to make sure the job was completed to a satisfactory standard as he was being paid by the customer.
