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

Yes, theres an external biomass boiler and then the tank in the cellar. They're having the kitchen done so wanted two new rads, luckily right above the plant room.

I cut 40 mm off the wall fixings bud so went straight on the existing pipework and makes it closer to the wall 😂 kop

done the same a few times on a Friday when the door just catches 😀
 
My home on and off for the next two to three weeks full new system but surface pipe work

plenty of black gold as it’s an old gravity system luckily it’s getting painted after 🙂

When the customer asks if 800 square tiles are too big! No I can work with them. Then turn up to these...

Sheet or individual hope there in sheet not too bad then but still a faff
