- Day in the life of a plumber
A couple of jobs that both left me wondering how people walk away and leave stuff like this. The first was a bath tap with no cold water and the second was a radiator that wasn't heating up

Don’t put yourself under extra pressure with videos mate you can only do what you do the reasons I watch is because you are genuine not trying to sell something every 5 minutes and the work you do is top notch don’t be over critical with yourself mate another top video top man
Thanks for the support and kind comment Gary, hope you have a great weekend
Just post what or when you want Tom,I will still watch for the day I see your new brush lol
I'm not sure the budget will stretch this month for a new brush, thanks for the support as always mate
Good video first time watch but will watch again 😊
Thanks for the support mate, glad you enjoyed
I do 1 a week now. Much easer and if I get a day of editing done I can have a couple of weeks sorted in advance. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching as always Ollie, I try to edit on a Sunday but I've been working today, it makes getting two out tough
Your content totally reminds me of of my day to day as plumber Tom and that were not alone in the shit w3 have to deal with .
Keep it going when you’re ready . Great stuff as always 🙌🙌
Thanks for watching mate us plumbers don't half get some jobs sometimes, have a great weekend
Great video as always Tom, really appreciate the time you spend making them and I look forward to the next. Your subs are getting closer to 10k now - well done!
Thanks for the support Mike
Well work out,Tom and Will be looking forward too video’s when ever you put one together have a good rest and get caught up have a great weekend Tom and enjoy your self.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴💦
Thanks for the support as always Tom, have a great weekend
Tom you produce great content and I for one really enjoy watching you resolve problems in what can only be described as shit installations. Pretty sure the ‘flexy friday plumber’ said yeah I always fit flexis - never had a problem with them.
Don’t apologise for posting fewer videos - jobs got to come first.😀👍
Thanks for the support as always Norman
Tom stop putting pressure on yourself its up to you what you put out, we will always be here
There are some proper muppets doing plumbing. Glad you sorted both issues. Great video as usual 👍👍
Thanks for watching as always mate
Tom, just do what you can video wise, your running a busy business and working hard, your videos are the best out there in my opinion, and I guess a lot of us viewers take the effort you put in for granted. Take care 👍🚽
Thanks for the support as always Peter, the last couple of weeks have been tough, hopefully things get better. I'm sure they will, have a great weekend
Tom. Stop worrying about us. You’re trying to run a business. The videos are a bonus. Do what you can when you can.
I've learned a lot from your videos mate, just upload when you get a chance, doesn't matter if it's down to 1 a week or 1 a month 😊
Thanks for watching as always Ryan
Excellent work, Tom.
Don't put yourself under pressure with the videos! One a month of your quality is better than a lot of the others out there!
Thanks for the support as always David, it is greatly appreciated
Hi ya mate, I absolutely love your videos. Please do take of yourself first and don’t put yourself under too much pressure. I’ve seen too many people (including myself) crash and burn. It’s something we need to acknowledge and stop being tough guys. One video a week is better than no videos at all.
That is exactly what happened to me too. :-)
Thanks for the support as always mate, It's been a tough couple of weeks but things always get better
Excellent video again my friend. Really getting into your channel now.
Thanks for the support Brian, it is greatly appreciated
@PlumbLikeTom your very welcome. I trained at plumbing my self in Northern Ireland. Im not plumbing everyday. But as you know its a very tricky game at times..
Haha, to understand what goes through the mind of others!!!! Some great detective work there and great problem solving.👍
Thanks for the support as always mate
Another handyman/multi trade flexi special .Well sorted as usual Tom.
Thanks for the support as always Ian
Wow Tom you jumped up to 9k subs. I didn't notice you were so close to 10k.
I'm aiming to reach 10k by the end of the year, I'm so grateful for everyone's support, thanks for watching as always mate
2 interesting jobs , keep posting Tom , give me what ever you have got 😛
Thanks for the support as always Chris, have a great weekend
Great content mate, makes you wonder “why”!! Just do what you do Tom your videos are top notch and always worth the wait👍🏻
I wonder most days, mostly why I became a plumber, thanks for the support as always mate
You do what you’ve got to do Tom, one or two videos is ok mate. I always look forward to whatever you put out it’s always top notch IMHO.
Thanks for the support as always Charles, I like making them but the last couple of weeks I've been under pressure, hopefully things get better
Hi Tom ur videos r great and I learn a lot I hope u don’t stop making them but your mental state is a lot more important than videos, but I really do love your videos. Thanks again.
Thanks for the support as always mate, have a great weekend
Hi Tom I absolutely loved this one mate was like watching the detectives Hahahahahahaahah
Thanks for the support as always Keith, hope you have a great weekend mate
Yet another great video bud keeping it genuine and real 👍

It always amazes me what people do, thanks for the support as always Peter
As always mate real world situations, don’t stress over how many videos you post, always good content
Thanks for the support as always Danny, have a great weekend mate
Great content as always mate, remember to look after yourself. The job can wait 👍
I keep plodding along, it's stressful sometimes, thanks for the support Chris

Thanks for watching as always mate, normally they are quite scaled up around me
Dont worry about it Tom .just get them out when you can 👍👍👍
That was a couple of nice problems therd to find 👍👍
Thanks for watching as always John
Change tap
Why not blow it threw buy holding over hot tap
Good work lads
everyone needs to vent every now and then tom, dont worry about it. dont feel obliged to do vids for us, as much as we enjoy watching ur mental health comes first. Enjoyed that rad vid, i can relate to it so well, when ur stumped, things just arnt making sense & u & ur mate sit there in silence just looking at it, been there a few times i'll tell u. Down tools for the weekend mate & hopefully we'll get a little sun to lift ur mood
Thanks for the support as always Scot, have a great weekend mate
Hi Tom, one a week is enough for us, give yourself a chance. I really look forward to Friday evening but the extra one is a bonus when you can manage it.
If you try to do too much, you'll stop enjoying it and then we all lose.
Take care 😊.
Thanks for watching as always Hugh
Love the videos Tom. I would hate you to think you need to put yourself under extra pressure to put 2 videos out a week. What ever you decide to do, is fine Tom. Thanks for the content, a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the support Glen, have a great weekend mate
Great job Tom, really good that you can record these jobs, when I was on the maintenance as a chippie years ago and if the jobs took longer than normal the Joes in the office would accuse us of swinging the lead, we were all time served in various trades and most of us were pretty conscience as you are, the nature of the job to succeed 😂 well done mate and keeping filming👍
It's always the stuff people don't see that takes the time, thanks for watching and have a great weekend
Watch all your videos mate great content!
Thanks for the support mate
Super job very good fault finding thanks for the video
Thanks for watching Mark, have a great weekend
Top stuff mate , I was working on some radiant ceiling panels today , client said they had always worked fine.
Went in to the roof space. both isolating valves were turned off, and there was no water at all in the panels! They had never been tested/commissioned.
Thanks for the support as always mate, it always amazes the amount of times stuff like that happens
Great video Tom 👍 Just post videos up as and when in suits yourself Tom, don't burn yourself out mate 👍😎
Thanks for the support as always Pb, the last couple of weeks have been tough, hopefully things get easier as I do enjoy making the videos
Great content as always Tom, don't get stressed, just do one a week mate.
Thanks for the support as always James, have a great weekend
Great fault finding video Tom. Go down to one Video if you need to, you need to enjoy doing these videos for us. No need to apologise, it does show all the efforts you put in to your channel. 👏👏👏👍👍
Thanks for watching as always Andy
Hi Tom, some strange plumbing problems this week with flat flexies and valves under the floor on heating pipes etc.
You do get a mixture of jobs mate, as others have said don’t put yourself under pressure with getting the films out.
Whatever you manage to get out it’s ok for me, you put them out and I will watch them, no pressure Tom.
Have a great weekend and as always take care.👍👍👍
I have no idea why people do that! Le jeune artisan from Belgium even buries CH valves in the screed in his YT videos!
Thanks for the support as always Chris, have a great weekend
Great honest footage
Thanks for the support Steve
Great video, thanks, Tom
Thanks for the support mate, have a great weekend
I don't necessarily want a Friday night drink when I watch your vids Tom, I need one mate. I had some dodgy plumbing jobs in my time but it seems like the cowboys have honed their cowboy skills since I retired. Always love the vids, thanks mate.
Thanks for the support as always mate, I need a drink after today as well, I went back to refit some toilets after new flooring had been laid and someone had been using them in the room not plumbed in
@@PlumbLikeTom Oh no way. We're both gonna be drunk tonight mate the way this is going.
Cracking vid mate
Thanks for watching as always Tom
Nice one Tom & Jacob :O)
Thanks for the support as always mate
Drop down on the output to take the pressure off. We'll still be here to watch whenever you post something. Maybe do a short clip if things are hectic just to let us know.
Thanks for the support Roy, I enjoy making the videos but I've been under pressure the last couple of weeks, things will get easier
That flexi was a shambles how do they sleep at nite lol.with regards to frequency tom just do what you can. We appreciate your efforts and the videos. Dont put yourself under pressure mate. Have a good weekend 😊
Thanks for the support as always Paul, have a great weekend
An isolator under the floor - what on earth was someone thinking about. It is a very restricted flow for a non mains system too even if it was switched on!!
I know Richard, you sometimes wonder what people are thinking when they do these jobs, thanks for watching
Brilliant 😊
Thanks for watching mate
When i bung my tank i always seem to get a run of water more than whats just in the pipe. What would the reason be for that happening? Great video as usual really appreciate the extra work it takes to produce these video's.
Some tank connectors have the ridges inside which makes them difficult to bung, I've had it where those have let by a bit, thanks for watching
Tom when u pulled the open gatevalve outlet
I know mate, I though that was going to be the problem
Great video, Tom, thanks!
Only an idiot would have put that flexi in the attic. (My most hated place to work in)
Looked like the pipe insulation under that floor had been chewed a bit - that cat maybe has some work to do there!
I would say drop down the number of videos - it must be massively wearing to get two a week out, on top of working madly and everything else, and it seems that one a week is pretty common for most people who do similar content.
Thanks for watching as always Steve, I think mr squirrel had been under the floors, I do my best to get two out a week, it's just been busy lately
Tom
Just a quick question
I’m just watching the hijacking of flight 601 on Netflix.
I didn’t know you had gone into acting and given up your football career to become a plumber!
I was sat here watching it and thought who does that remind me of!
Only kidding 😂 give it a watch
I will have to check it out, thanks for watching Peter
Поддерживая всех, кто гордится тобой и твоей работай, скажу тебе, ты Мастер с Большой Буквы👍
Не обращай внимания на критику, она с дивана.
Всегда просто говорить или писать, а не делать дела..
Thanks for the support and kind comment
They need to get rid of the rats / mice as they are going to chew that plastic pipe :) Regarding the videos do as you please when you put them out we will watch don't feel pressured Tom.
The rest of the system was copper to be fair, rats do love plastic though, thanks for the support as always mate
@@PlumbLikeTom I had a job recently it was in the country side and they had done the whole house in plastic and the mice loved it making nests next to the warm heating pipes and having a chew on them springing leaks everywhere.
Piece of advice pal....get urself a 17inch long socket extension for the impact driver on them tap cartridges...God send mate I do both taps in 15 mins 👍
Good tip that, I do have a proper tap splitting set that holds against itself but I rarely use it, it's a gimmick really but occasionally gets you out the muck, have a great weekend
@PlumbLikeTom haha fairplay bud Just thought I would let you know so you can give it a try to make your life easier 👌 cracking work though mate and content keep up the good graft and post enjoy you weekend too pal!
You ever broke tap/insert using impact driver and 17?
@deathstr0kexorn765 no mate works a treat everytime 👍
drip tray / run tray fast work mate
Thanks for the support as always mate, have a great weekend
Rats droppings 😱😱
Not the best working in rat crap, thanks for the support as always Ian
Great video again mate. Out of curiosity, when you pressurised the heating pipe, why was it losing pressure if the 15mm isolation valve was turned off ???? Surely that small length of pipe to the valve would have built up pressure. Cheers
It's because we accidentally loosened the nut on the iso valve below when messing the the rad valve, either that or is was never tightened, thanks for watching mate
Customer bodges do make me laugh. Well deducted.
Thanks for the support as always mate, have a great weekend
do ya best and flex the rest
Indeed, thanks for watching
Chill mate ,don't stress yourself out.
Thanks for the support mate
Those iso valves were closed so how did the pump act as an open end? Surely there is an open end somewhere otherwise it would have just built up rad side of the iso valve?
I think we must have loosened the top nut on the iso when messing with the rad valve, either that or it was never tightened, thanks for watching 👍
use socket 17mm
Fair point, Thanks for watching as always Bill
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for the support as always Wayne
Not from the UK so wondering what’s the reason for the header tank? Does it only do the bathroom? That water pressure is terrible.
Back in the day UK water mains were woefully undersized and couldn't cope with the flow rate houses required. So they put header tanks in the houses to act as buffers. That gives you decent flow but obviously abysmal pressure unless you add a booster pump. In many places the water mains have been upgraded and you can change the installations to mains fed but not all of them.
Tom, curious to know how you charge for these problematic jobs.
It was time and materials on the first job, I think I was there an hour and half, the second was just included in me fitting the boiler as the job was a quote, I could have charged extra as I couldn't possibly have for seen the problem though
Is that mice droppings under the floor boards where that rad is not working
From squirrels I think, thanks for watching mate
Everydays a learning day you can factor in the Idiots who frig about with stuff they no nothing about..
Thanks for watching as always mate
Love a bit of fault finding me
They are satisfying jobs when you fix them, thanks for watching Rich
Those gate valves ought to be to band absolutely garbage
They are, Thanks for watching as always Glyn
Why are so many plumbers using push-fit fittings, much prefer copper pipe
Ball Valve its called
is that full on jay kerb
What tank bungs do u use
They are regin ones, I have gained one over the years as I found one a vent pipe once, thanks for watching mate

Very interesting video. Much appreciated thank you
Thanks for watching as always mate
