HALL of SHAME PHOTo`s

[kay-jay]

You should have just bent the handle forward. It wasn't catching by much. Saved yourself some hastle. Oh and phoned it in as an AR to the supplier for a rusty anaconda.

The pic doesn't really do it justice. There was really no way to move the lever immediately as was required but as some donut had used pushfit on those pipes only took a min to reroute them. Supplier is coming to assess possible relocation of a new meter externally. We then go back to install a combi. Worryingly customer said we were the fourth people to visit since hot water went on blink a week ago. All promised to return but none did. Also none picked up the leak or even asked where meter was..........

went to the in-laws yesterday. had a quick look at the bathroom job they just had done



nice! he's done a good job tiling the walls tho.........


same property but existing dodgy plumbing from before they moved in....


obviously couldn't decide whether to chase pipes into wall or not so went for half and half...... another quality job lmao,

this was in leeds btw

 

[GQuigley67]

I change my in-laws boiler last year (back boiler to system and flush etc.) my missus old man took two days off work to shadow my every move

 

[mcniven]

Quality, I cant stand that mate, sometimes, when I get frustrated I genuinly feel like smashing folk that hang over me!

 

[GQuigley67]

sounds horrendous lol, i hate it also, i charged the misses parents for their new boiler 😉

 

[mcniven]

Too right Gerry!

 

[quality]

Yes it was two long days but charged my normal rate and they paid happily.
The best of it was is that when I had finished he commented on how easy the job was when he never lifted a finger ! He even got the old girl to make the tea so he didn't miss anything

 

[mcniven]

Hahaha so he didnt miss anything LOL

Must of seen that polish plumbers video on youtube

because i live 60 miles away and even charging normal rates its a bit of a stretch. the job was just tiling (which was a decent standard) and swapping a rad for a towel rail. i think he was a tiler and not a plumber..

 

[quality]

I think that's quite obvious

 

[GQuigley67]

he slept with a plumber

 

[kay-jay]

i don't know where to start with this one..........lots of pics all from the same property showing some really horrendous plumbing...















quality eh?

and as for the meter....


it had just nipped out for a ***! checked ECV and surprise surprise supply still live.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

pity you can't weigh in plastic you'd get a fortune lol. plumbers weren't eastern european (sorry stan) were they?

 

[WaterTight]

my guess would be someone plumbed in that heating themselves simply to survive the winter. either someone with barely money for food or perhaps squatters. and in either case i'd congratulate them on a good job given the obvious total lack of training or knowledge. that's surely not a bodge because it was never intended to be passed off as proper work, it's functionality and no more.

if i'm wrong then god help us all.

 

[WaterTight]

This isn't a hall of shame one cos it looks like the pipe's been stamped on. It was in a pub. It's more of a curiosity because it looks like an optical illusion. The elbow looks tight the wall where the feed came from. The pipe doesn't look distortred or thinned in the middle. So a) where has the extra pipe come from to supply the droop and b) how has it not leaked?

 

[smileyplumber]

This was the result of minus 18 deg winter 2010 and 3 meter external copper pipe run to outside tap the water had froze instantly on contact with the glass fence bin etc

and below is the normal kitchen fitters answer to piping up the hob in flexi

The pulled bend has straightened out when someone stood on it. The deflection is only about an inch of pipe.
