Brilliant, it’s a very smart looking van and it all sounds good. I hope you get the all clear to return to work tomorrow. Take care, regards, Chris 👍👍👍
Just binge watched the house renovation playlist. Absolutely riveted to my sofa!! 😆. Fascinating to see the progress and how different trades work with each other. I love the combination of those ‘jobbing’ days and the days spent full time on a big project. It’s a top channel buddy, your a legend 👊. Really looking forward to future uploads. Take care and best wishes 👏👍
Wow….. thanks so much for the message, really is very much appriciated. So glad you like the channel and keep watching, get subscribed as there is plenty more to come👍🏼👍🏼
And while Charlie Mullins was your inspiration… you were mine. Nice van (although vanarama screwed me over so bought one instead) good branding and personalised plate! You’re absolutely right… tidy van and branding just breeds more work!
I don't wear pants so if it went off at 2am someone's gonna get a fright. 🤣 Glad youre all clear. I'm late to the video this week. Hope it's all going well and I'll catch your mid week one tomorrow.👍
Enjoyed the last year's content pal,good info on van security, my van is provided by a company,but they don't insure out tools,so might get my own alarm.
Love your work ethic. I agree on the importance of presentation, van = well sign writen and clean, number, plate and you smart and clean too, sends the correct message. However you running at some one in your pants at 2 in the morning = different story!!!!
I used to have a Vw Amarok all sign written which I loved but due to emigrating this year I decided to downgrade to a bit of a banger during the summer as I’m fully booked until we leave. However when pricing jobs and meeting clients I found the smart sign written truck showed the customer I am a busy builder who is doing well and I believe that it spoke for itself really and shows I’m obviously doing something right 👌
Exactly mate, so you can see first hand how it gives the customer confidence. Plus as you know it’s nice to have a nice van/truck as in effect they are our offices… Good luck for the future buddy when you emigrate 🙌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice contents and very good information for other trades ppl or alarmed the van. I keep focusing on that blue toy car behind that van. 😂 I wonder if I guess it right… 😛 hope you back on track after tomorrow test.
Glad you've gotten the all clear man. I might have to order this alarm in when I make my next trip back to UK, I've plenty I want now though, your Christmas vid made me jealous, standard of tools here are shocking and since brexit it's an absolute nightmare to order things in, otherwise like you I'd have treated myself to a fair bit.
@@MJTiffPlumbing good stuff, throw yourself back in and enjoy it. Yeah definitely looks good bit of kit for the price point. Been meaning to ask as don't see much of the boring background stuff, but what do you do for the admin side of things? Do you use one for the apps or all manual?
@@kanegoffe5364 I do it all myself mate, email invoices and pricing I do armed with my notebook and take measure. I think if your governed by apps telling you how to do your job it could give you more stress…. That’s my take on it to be honest.
@@MJTiffPlumbing Yeah im the same as that, the admin isn't my strong point so I've always kept an eye on the apps wondering if they were any good, but didn't feel they were for me. Taken me a long while to get organised to a point where it doesn't take over your life. I think its a massive part of the job that most don't see though, especially as its all unpaid.
Interesting video have you ever had any trouble with the police etc.about the spacing of the letters,numbers on the personal plates also you could have trouble when it's mot time
Thanks mate. Nope never had an issue, infact I got told by a passing police officer that he liked the plate. Not my fault that where the official screw holes are seen to line up perfectly. As for MOT time i just stick the correct ones on with a space in between
Nice to see you back matey. Love your Van and content you create. Do you mind to ask you about tinted windows on your Van is it covered with insurance? Keep Up 🤝👍👌🏻
Thanks buddy…. Appreciate the feedback. Windows are a security feature, if the windows are smashed the film holds the glass in place to stop access to the van slightly…
@@MJTiffPlumbing Because I did try to tinted my Van windows and many companies say they are illegal on Vans, and insurance will not cover if the van get crashed. Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad you've done an update how you're getting on the with vanolarm, think I may invest, like you said for the peace of mind that it's something else to help prevent the break-in's it's worth it! As for your lease, do you need to remove the sign writing and other mods before giving back after the 5 years?
Been meaning to do it for a while, perfect timing. Yes when it goes back it has to go back as it was, so sign writing removed which takes a few hours. Front splitter is 8 bolts and I have the original wheels to go back on…. Not a problem at all👍🏼👍🏼 Will lease another one when it’s time
@@MJTiffPlumbing Yeah good timing to get a little video out while you've got the rona, how you feeling anyway, did it effect you much? What about drilling holes for racking, ply lining etc?
@@killerbean9911 I wasn’t too bad, a few days of my body aching a lot then just a slight fever but soon passed by. Looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow
Hi mate Just wondering how you have got on with the vanolarm that you installed a while back, what’s your final thoughts on the system. Is it worth getting one or is it a total waste of money?
As I said in this video, for the £150 or so it costs it’s a great system, it does have a few floors but on the whole I would buy another if need be…. Something is better than nothing and this alerts you to any scumbag trying to break into the van
Hi mate, I’m only a recent subscriber but loving all the videos. I’m looking at becoming a plumber and was wondering what tips do you have at getting started ? As I feel like I don’t know enough but I can imagine a lot comes with experience.
Thanks mate, and welcome to the channel. Just keep watching the plumbers like myself on UA-cam and you will pick up some tips etc, but get out there and offer a few days working with local plumbers for free to gain experience
Cracking deal on the van mate!!! I’ll be looking to get a bigger van when I’ve paid mine off in a couple of years and would definitely consider one of these Vivaro’s. Although I’ve had a couple of Transit Customs previously and I do like them too. Hopefully not doing a plumbing video will catch the attention of other trades too which may mean more subs and likes 😁 Glad you are feeling better and able to return to work 👌🏼
THANKYOU EVERYONE WHO HAS ENJOYED MY VIDEOS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CHANNEL…

Yer for the cost of it it’s deffo worth having mate
Nice update on the alarm

Appearance is everything
Completely agree…… 👏🏼👏🏼

Yer back to work tomororw now I’m all clear 👍🏼
Well I still always think of Muff when I see your van lol! Hello mate how are you, stumbled across you channel recently! 👌
Hahahaa…. The Muff Mobile…🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m very well mate, how you doing buddy
Great video bud! If you have or know any other plumbers, I’m selling a plumbing based number plate, I’ve got PO0 2AND on retention 👍🏼
Glad you've gotten the all clear man.
I might have to order this alarm in when I make my next trip back to UK, I've plenty I want now though, your Christmas vid made me jealous, standard of tools here are shocking and since brexit it's an absolute nightmare to order things in, otherwise like you I'd have treated myself to a fair bit.

Hi mate, noticed you don't have a roof rack. Are you able to store pipe inside the van?
In this video I don’t and yes I can store full lengths of pipe inside then van👍🏼👍🏼
I do now run a Vanguard roof rack
Interesting video have you ever had any trouble with the police etc.about the spacing of the letters,numbers on the personal plates also you could have trouble when it's mot time

Mark I’ve bought this kit, quick question can I arm the alarm with one fob or do I need to carry a fob for each door alarm? Cheers mate
You can pair one fob to arm all the alarms, tells you in the instructions 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing back to the instructions I go! Couldn’t find it anywhere - thanks mate 👍🏼
Nice alarm Mark il get it when I get my van hopefully 🙏 il recommend you to my class mates to Subscribe you 👍🏼💐🙂
Thanks Fred…. Get them subscribing buddy 👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing you’re most welcome sure il do without doubt pal 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙂
What’s the alarm system called ? Such a good idea
Take a look at this mate, all the info is here with a full guide to the alarm
ua-cam.com/video/MCw8MnSmQ7E/v-deo.html
Good content mate, what ceramic coating did you use out of interest?
Thanks mate, this was coated with G-Technic crystal serum when a I got it. 👍🏼👌🏼
Gosh that is brilliant deal. I got few quotes from various places and it is rental for £480/month or HP wants £4000 upfront and then £400/month :(
Yep some proper high deals out there…. Make sure you shop about

How does it work at the end of five years do you have to it the van back into the same condition. Di you have to pay a bullet payment
Yep return the van in it’s original condition so remove the sign writing and wheels back to the original ones and away we go
Is the alarm not eating the batteries?
Not replaced any batteries yet and it’s 3 months old….👍🏼👍🏼
Cracking deal on the van mate!!! I’ll be looking to get a bigger van when I’ve paid mine off in a couple of years and would definitely consider one of these Vivaro’s. Although I’ve had a couple of Transit Customs previously and I do like them too.

Glad you are feeling better and able to return to work 👌🏼
Thanks Andy…. Yer it’s a mega deal on this and looks great aswell.👍🏼
Plenty of deals about so make sure you look about, this was through Vanarama
@@MJTiffPlumbing Yeah will do buds. Long way off for me yet though
Have a good week mate
Great filler for this week. Glad to see you are better. Now get back to work that barn needs you 😃😃
Thanks Nigel…. Yer it was tying up a few bits and giving a little insight into the branding van etc.
Back at the barn in the morning👍🏼👍🏼
is the engine & gearbox in the rental agreement ie if one goes who pays
All under warranty with Vauxhall mate….
do you have a link for the alarm? Thanks
Need a youtube sticker and subscribe sticker on the back doors of the van, build them subscribers
Yep I will be getting the UA-cam and Insta logos soon when I can decide on a place that works without looking crap
What does you use to record your videos on, is it a go pro?
What editing software do you use for UA-cam?
Cheers buddy
Yes mate I use a GoPro hero 9 and my iPhone. I use Adobe Rush for editing👍🏼👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing thanks very much, may look to have a go at the old UA-cam thing.
@@MySmadge do it mate….. what’s to lose 🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼
Mmmm might have to try get JC19 CARP lol
Hahaa….. Can’t get that in that layout mate, however I know if a few plate dealers if your after a carpenter based plate
@@MJTiffPlumbing damn it! 😂 yeah that would be ideal! Let me know 😃
It is important for the plumber have a public liability insurance?
Yes…… of course!!!
Every self employed tradesman should have insurance
Thanks
Nice van mate but must be annoying if a seagull or something hits ur roof 😂😂😂
Cheers mate….. especially if someone has covered the roof in breadcrumbs
@@MJTiffPlumbing 😂😂
But what happens with the alarm if you park under a tree? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 as long as it’s not a conker tree 🙈
Hello take 2 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤘😎🤘
Hahahahaaaa….🤣🤣🙈🙈
@@MJTiffPlumbing 🤘😂🤘
5 year contract seams long at 240 a month
Not the way the leasing market is going….. I’m glad I got it over 5 years (3 years left) to be honest.
Is that £240pcm plus the dreaded VAT? Not my business to ask if you’re VAT registered or not? 😉
Nope, VAT included mate….. it’s a deal and a half🙌🏼🙌🏼
Noone should be wanting to take anything from Charlie , he is nasty person
A VERY rich and successful person… each to there own👍🏼👍🏼
