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

I’m not picking, but is that magnaclean accessible? Looks close to ceiling.

Yeah it's got another 300mm above it 👍🏻 Was best place for it, otherwise pipes below boiler would of needed to come lower to accommodate it there.

Well another pile of goodies and set up for next two ish weeks 👍👍

 

[SimonG]

Well it's another rough as bulls lugs jobs that's coming out. Didnt look too bad until started pulling it apart. Cladding in shower on top of tiles, floor tiles under lino. Floor falls away in two directions. Bath and shower wastes running up hill. Ah well. Sandwich time.

Yes you're probably right. A stainless one was considered, but at over double the price it seemed a lot extra. Considering that if there was excessive water down that end it'd be coming out the tray and into the room I was hoping it'd be OK, thrown in the fact good extraction, and it's a Zehnder not some cheap s***, fingers crossed

My personal preference would be next to basin, but as you say. What customer wants, customer gets. Especially with this customer too.

Gas leak repair


Potable expansion replaced



Gas fire disconnected

 

[Scott_D]

Not pretty so I will get my excuses in early
These were subbing jobs and I have to make what I’m given fit and it’s always a rush



I burnt the unit, didn’t have a compression elbow or a bracket to stand the expansion vessel upright

 

[king of pipes]

Bit of a mixed bag there Scott glad your keeping busy bud 😉 kop

 

[king of pipes]

Got my tiling done today , plasterer came Friday so together we repaired the coving, bonded out the ceiling and wall to build out before skimming the whole area drying out nicely so all in all its coming together slowly, decorating hopefully middle of the week then the units need swapping over.

Getting to the end of this one, not helped by water leak on incoming water main so no water in the house. Makes grouting fun.

Think it’s one of those days today 😂

Old flux been wiped on the joist

Removed the rad as a diyer had put the tails in dry 2 mins later the rad lockshield valve shoots off and bonks me in the old dome turn around and there’s a nice fountain 😀
