What u guys on today

View the thread, titled "What u guys on today" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

yesterday morning i returned the hire van after 7 weeks and collected my van after repairs only to find that they hadnt done the light, and some plonker had scraped my new rear steps bringing it round from the garage!!!!
allegedly they will complete these while i wait after the light turns up!

then running late went to a lettings agency job to find a leak behind some tiled boxing. tiles came off with fingers as wrong addy used on ply. in and out in no time, then off to fit a shower. went to take a quick look at a leak which im fixing this morning. going to collect a deposit for a 3k bathroom, and a job to price (new basin) for lettings agency.

wednesday i have an unvented to look at, taps run cold after a minute, so i suspect unbalanced cold and a faulty mixer somewhere. look at a smart flush commercial urinal

I'd like to think defo lives saved mate. 3 adults and a Bairn. The ppm scale only goes to 1000 on my seeker and it tipped that scale after about 3 seconds of sampling. God knows what the real reading was. Just shows how CO alarms can save lives,that was the first thing to activate. And the actual distance CO will travel,up through the floor and seep out of the boards
 
So had they just left it burning and shut up shop? Were you exposed to it for long? Thinking if so maybe you should get a once over

CO detectors are mandatory up here now so i carry a fair stock of them and always try and look for them when I'm doing my checks 🙂

Was smouldering mate. After I broke in he turned up and said the gas is off it can't be here. I said there's summit there I can feel the heat. He says I've only got the charcoal oven,so I educated him on CO etc. I've never seen a reading so hight if I'm honest. And coming from another property!!! The paramedics checked me over too. I'm all good then went for a tab! 😉

Same here unfortunately , did have few jobs but all been completed apart of one that I will be going back to square up the install for a few days ! Priced two jobs but had no response from customers yet . Hopefully will pick up by late October !
 
Been a lot quieter last week or so. Just had the buy with confidence women around so need to write a few letters to post. Then I will spend the rest of the day looking at advertising options.

A lot of money going out at the moment with less coming back in which is slightly worrying but no point sitting on your hands I guess ?
 
Great feedback guys its interesting to see what everyones up to this week. Were all in the same line of work but our job schedules couldnt be any more different.
 
Had to clean a couple of injectors on 2 greenstar 24i.
Serviced a eco 824/2e and changed some taps 🙂
 
What a magnificent day ......... Started off on a UFH commission and then dashed off to see a flooded house, ufh on second floor cut through with a circular saw! Doh! Then a DCW tap (cheap tat) head came off in a cleaner sink on third floor of new offices. Then a valliant ( DIY ) install
