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

Just swapped out a classic for baxi 616 with rear flue. Told the customer I'd replace toilet internals if boiler went well and I ran out of things to pretend to struggle with.
Regretted it on my way to van for the angle grinder!

That's a coincidence I've got this one to do condemned it yesterday hardest part is finding a Baxi boiler 😂 any pictures of yours bricking the flue up can take a good few hours

 

[Harvest Fields]

Had a phone call this morning from Wolseley saying they can get the 830 Baxi I need for Tuesday. (Result)

 

[SimonG]

Busy bee. Last three jobs done. Just finishing up the outside work for the first photos.

 

[king of pipes]

Found the cause of the overheating of the old girl I couldn't source a Baxi so a Glowworm Easyheat will be installed tomorrow it's £300 Cheaper and still has 5 years warranty so will do the job this will be housed in a kitchen wall unit in the utility room . Kop

Just finished this off on Friday.

Just finished this off on Friday.

Looks great, roughly how much did the job cost the customer do you know? The whole job.

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Labour and supplying stuff and materials (Excluding Tiles, customer supplied) £9k inc VAT. Although really should have been a bit more, was quoted at our old labour prices.

Although there was very little electrical works on this one, plus everything basically stopped in the same place.

Floor was a mess underneath so was another £250 on top of above for redoing floor too.

Looks good mate. 7 year warranty? Did you mould the probe yourself or buy it that shape😂

Yes and out of necessity (bloody kitchen fitters was before the flexi probe came out) they keep getting flagged by Kane but keep passing 😀

 

[SimonG]

Can you come and check the plumbing in one of the toilets?

Better check the public liability insurance!!

Wasn't a easy install and definitely a pita to service but their bills are lower and weather compensation has worked well the customer is tec savy so no worries with the app . Kop

Can’t decide which boiler you like??? 😅

Use Main as our budget boiler - cracking for money.
Vaillant is our go to ‘Premium’ brand. The Worcester one I’d offered them two options Worcester and Vaillant. Worked in my favour for as could run pipes down back.

The Pro is a solid boiler though. Be sad to see it go when it does. Vaillant are just a bit behind with their modulation etc. as new model has been delayed.

Even though I don’t know what I’m doing from one week to the next, it‘s still all similar and mundane. Gas safety checks, occasional boiler fault, and installing some thermostats. Friday was most exciting day when I got to change some wiring going into a programmer, that I think was just being used as a junction box.

Home for next 4 days, couple little bits for friday, postpone bowes from monday and salou on Tuesday for a week.
