Doctors blimey they aren't coming back to work are they Shaun can't have them getting a chill . 🤣🤣
Just had three days converting gravity hot to unvented in a bungalow, plus re routing all pipes in roof space ready for a loft conversion next year.
Had to move feed and expansion for heating and get it all up and running today. Left at 8.00 tonight.
50 minutes later, text message, water bubbling up through kitchen floor.
The only section of hot pipe in the concrete floor runs from under the bath and across kitchen floor to sink, and it's gone pop.
Only thing I could do tonight was turn off hot water.
But now have to fit in pulling up a real wooden floor and digging out concrete to fix the leak.
Not like I'm busy or anything. Ffs.

Its always a risk converting to pressurised Simon I hope you covered yourself before hand mate ? Can you reroute rather than dig up and look for leaks ?? Chances are it may find the next weakness point and leak there ?? Feel for you mate. Regards kop

All explained to customer beforehand, plus covered in estimate.
No chance to reroute, unfortunately, but had the plinth off under sink unit and it looks like a previous repair was done and I reckon it's the repair that's failed 🤞🤞
You are brave taking them pipes across like that. One day someone will go straight through them putting a grab rail up or something and wished they'd never started 😂 Know it can't be helped sometimes.
Not on this one mate going to be tiled all quality stuff on this Flova shower and fixtures and fitting in bronze, 1700 x 800 slab tray that's gonna hurt 😂 10 mm frosted glass panel should look good . 👍

Looks a fancy tray that, not sure if I'm keen. The dark colours show all the water marks.
