Some Landlords are total To**ers!

yeah if it was a private job id ask for the cash upfront but being as the boss is happy to pay us and then wait for the ll to pay him im not worried,

p.s LL bought a main 30kw combi, never fitted main crap before but im fairly sure i wont be fitting another one any time soon, 😉

im just glad that the land lords we have on our customer list are mostly all really nice people that take great care of their tenants and the properties, this tit is in the minority, lol

was it a main 30 he band b or band a IMHO band b the muts nuts band a sh**

 

[obseen16]

no its a band A, didnt think you could get band B's anymore

 

[oldplumber]

band b boilers still available as rules dont apply to mobile homes so you can still buy them from main, only a baxi by a different name with minor differences, easy to repair tho

well fitted it yesterday. finished at 1.30am this morning cos tenants were moving in today at 9am (the cleaner gave me this piece of info) would have been finished by 10pm if the damn valves would seal, i have to say repairing them - yes i would repair them anyday. however thats the first and last main i will ever fit. 2 valves wouldnt seal at all, on closer inspection one of the valve bodies had a tiny pin hole in the side of it and the other had a warped face where the fibre washers go, not happy, spent ages sorting that one out with a file and alot of trial and error. and the damn drain valve in the boiler was weeping where it goes into the brass jig body, surely these things are tested at the factory. ah well its over and done with now. thank god 🙂

tbh same jig as baxi and potterton 200 installs and not one faulty you must be very unlucky,if you know your local rep or rang baxi they would have tried to resolve it

yeah im going to call them up as we have had to make a temporary valve up until we can get hold of one and replace. used a 1/2" female bsp to 15mm compression with a ballofix as a temp solution for the cold water feed until then. i have actually had this same problem with a warped face on a baxi valve before but that was years ago when some other installer had left it dripping.

im just saying
hope its not a family moving in on xmas with no heating or boiler if they have kids well i know its the festiv time and all that but its not the kids falts its a days job and it will line your pocket after all the shoping you have done
i hope the tirky isnt bitter on the way down
rant over if it was me id do if there was yung kids there BUT if its all running and it will hold
out till after xmas then tell him to do one

if its that bad and such a must then its double bubble sorted

Kids or not, why is that the plumber's problem? The landlord is responsible for his decisions and a lack of planning on his part does not constitute an emergency on the plumber's part.

Does the plumber's children's needs, to see their father over Christmas, not count?

Anyone with kids with any minerals, upon seeing a house with no heating, would tell the landlord to do one, report the, and rescind any business and go elsewhere, there's no shortage.

It's not the job of honest working folks to compensate for and prop up, irresponsible people and take the blame for those with **** poor planning abilities, "double bubble" or not.
