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

Are those two air freshers needed ‘cos you got a bit carried away on your ‘plumber’s privilege test run?!’

As the wc was re used I didn't feel the need. Even more so with all the slid marks inside the pan.

After taking some time off to support my family though a tough time, i finally got back to the job i started before Christmas its a sad situation as the ladys health has deteriorated and shes been hospitalised and its not looking good, at least she will get to see it completed when she returns later today. Regards kop

Bit of iron this week

 

[SimonG]

Just got back in from doing an outside tap for somebody at the top of the road, also re sealed a shower enclosure that was leaking. Upshot is pricing to do their main bathroom and the ensuite and the kitchen floor.

Got a nice new soil stack to put in tomorrow ready for the new extension to go up. Better remember the thermal socks.

Not much chance of matching up a replacement cistern for this pan the customer broke it trying to repair a leaking doughnut one turn to many on the bolts and he got very wet , carpet in a cloakroom not a good idea? I had a box of Malmo flooring left over from another project so put that down , then fitted a new toilet struggled to get anything decent from my supplier in stock so ended up fitting this Ideal Standard pan from B&Q 5 year warranty on it quality components in the cistern £116 which is a good price looks alot better in my opinion. A bathroom refurb to start Monday. Cheers Kop

Screwfix do similar or the same, Ideal Standard Della Close Coupled Toilet Dual-Flush 6Ltr - https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/ideal-standard-della-close-coupled-toilet-dual-flush-6ltr/6779j it's a few more quid.

Fitted one recently, nice bit of kit, it's rimless too.

I hate the plastic bolts that come with the cheap tat cc wc's they don't have a back nut to tighten the bolts to the cistern!

Aye, I like to attach the bolts to the cistern first. I normally have a couple of spare sets on the van to replace the plastic ones.

I agree with the above. Makes things easier.

There was nothing in the instructions. It’s in a ceiling grid so can’t move but I will give the tech line a call on Monday to check

Do you reckon frozen condensate?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Do you reckon frozen condensate?

tries to light then goes out so my bet would be electrodes as if condy shouldn’t be getting to spark as fan pressure should kick it off

but then again when was it last serviced (proper)

Could tout for more work there

Tiles now fully stripped , spot lights first fixed

 

[SimonG]

4 new rads in a house today. 3 upstairs and the other downstairs into the concrete.
Then nipped off to a heating not working goosed 2 port and back to one of the services I did yesterday, no hot water. The flaming flow switch connector had pulled out the board when I'd slid the control panel back in. Loose on pins, quick bend of the pins and a tie wrap later, sorted.

Tomorrow is to rip out a neutraliser as stove is coming out and convert to a plan.

Anybody else had messages about creating videos? No thanks.

I'll stick to just in the arms me thinks.
