What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

A replacement boiler and rads

That turned into a cylinder replacement as the old one was leaking

Every time i change a cylinder I normally have to do something with the floor 😩

Another nice and tidy install 👌

What's peoples take on mounting boilers on Ply? Thought the regs state that you can't mount on a combustible material, yet many mount on ply. Not saying it's wrong, but manufactures instructions i've read don't state that it can be done?

Some mi's do allow.

[ShaunCorbs]

My end to the week turned up to a load of boxes ugh flat pack and missing the toilet front panel

Me personally I think the cisterns too big for the unit as the flush pipe is cutting it close 😀

What's on the walls?

 

[Harvest Fields]

Ardex waterproof kit.

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Finished this off this week. We usually do the lot but they insisted on their own tiler, who’s been a disaster and screwed through 3 of my shower pipes. The place where they’ve bought their stuff has been rubbish to, had loads more hassle on this job than when we just do the lot ourselves.

Made a start on this

How come you've not come off each zone from the LLH, just trying to save on pumps?

The kit has all been supplied, im just fitting.
Its not a huge system (18 rads) but a very tall house and the boiler is in the basement.

Have you not sized the distribution pipework on secondary side of LLH for its target velocity? I was always told design for .5m/s.

Honestly. No and I wouldnt know how to.
Its 2 heating zones, 9 column rads each, 28mm pipework

 

[SJB060685]

What's the flow rate when all zones are demanding and I'll work out the velocity?

[ShaunCorbs]

What’s the old saying measure twice cut once 😀 didn’t do too bad with the plaster board and as normal old houses arnt square so need a plaster to fit and dab it

 

[king of pipes]

[king of pipes]

Our busy time for servicing too, it's just gone mad 🤯

 

[SimonG]

Servicing is stacking up but no time. On with a shower out, bath in in the main bathroom and bath out shower in in the ensuite. Nice simple sparkly white panels over tiles. New basin in main bathroom and now new wc which wasnt on the estimate. All panels 900 wide, not tongue and grooved and no h trims. No bath waste, no shower waste.

Extra extra here comes the bonus 🤣🤣
