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

No I'm not mate it's good to get it out at least you know you have a problem but it's only you who can change that, our trade can and is a lonely one at times I often spend weeks in bathrooms with only the radio for company, I have to agree if I spend to long servicing or on breakdowns I find it quite boring and mundane getting access to properties, parking , dealing with landlords or estate agents shortage of spares stocked locally always means hassle and another visit sometimes two and often I haven't the time, but it's a valuable service and very important so you shouldn't be doubting your self worth , post some pictures of things you come across in your day don't really matter what? that way you can interact with more of us boiler problems can be tricky to diagnose especially if you don't do much of it but a picture or two of before and after a repair and what you did may help one of us on here or a younger member and you are reaching out to more members on here , now give yourself a kick up the ars- find a hobby or interest this life is it mate it's not a practice the time fly's by and it's not healthy to carry on as you are so rather than back slapping us let's see more of what you're doing ok bud . Regards Wayne aka kop

I'd do Boiler Servicing and Repairs, system troubleshooting all day long tbh. However most of mine are nice customers, we do very few landlords reports so that's a big bonus. There's just not enough money in them for us, with the hassle of getting access and that.

Bathroom's tbh I hate, and we've got loads of them to do. Just on a 3 weeker two man job at the minute. Then i've got another 6 to do before the year is out.

Blast from the past I fitted this HRM Wallstar in 2003 that's 19 years ago same pump same expansion vessel been a good work horse this one , now time to upgrade so swapping it out for a Houndsfield external oil boiler got to rebuild the walls first 🤣🤣😉👍.kop

Vaillant 838. Not a pretty job, a few setbacks with the stop tap not working fully made it a rushed finished.

I have a 10 year old rems.
I get fittings from Williams, usually aqua gas but I only use it occasionally for speed or is there’s water or a quick repair due to cost of fittings.
