get quite a few of these , i personally dont use chipboard but thick ply as ive seen too many collapse due to prolonged leaks chipboard turns to weetabix great vid keep them coming
Coffin tanks are excellent for fitting ...keep the holes nice n' tight...used to fit loads of these back in the day....all had pull out standing wastes { great for quick emptying of tank for cleaning etc }...Silencer on main at entry for ballcock { just use a "tee " & a blank end...stops the " shuddering " if pressure is high....the tanks I was replacing were the old lead lined ones ...strap solder joints....big brass " gunmetal " valves...great days !! { Sat morn Scrap runs £££ } used the timber from old tank for new base{ Canadian redwood mostly}...stick a lever valve on that feed to cyclinder next time son....well done !!
Are you in Scotland ? I'm from Southern England but spent some time working around the Glasgow area 30 odd years ago with my Father. What you describe there is exactly how i remember the water tanks up there.
Cold feed to cylinder first one, cold fill with the ball cock, the pipe connected 22mm to top of tank was the vent pipe and last one connected was overflow
Nice job but there is no way I would be using a blowlamp in a loft in 2024. The job doesn't have to be super neat in a loft and the customer wouldn't know the difference no matter what fittings you use. I know that end feed fittings are much cheaper but surely press-fit would be the best solution in this instance.
Couldn’t of left the overflow like that 🤦♂️ ladders up trim it down only takes 10min Surprised you left it your normally a perfectionist 😂👍 you’d obviously had enough of the heat for the day Keep the vids up great watch
Thank you as always for your support everyone much appreciated 👊👍
Fantastic job Luke nice clean n tidy❤
Thanks mate 👍
Nice job Luke, always end up drawing the short straw working in the loft on a hot day!
Saw you was working in one the other week 🥵🥵 hardly get loft jobs in winter 😂😂

Yeah some hardwood ply would of been better but was easier to get the loft boards in loft due to size of hatch, could of cut them down I suppose 👍
I do my upmost to avoid working in lofts when it’s warm. Genuinely isn’t safe on a hot day. Can be 35+ degrees mid summer
I think if it was the day before I would of moved the job as it was right when it was 28/29°c which would of been near enough impossible to work
Another 👍👍👍job, bread n butter.
Thanks mate 👍👍
Great video thanks.
Thanks 👍👍
Nice and neat job. Looked good with the new loft boards in. 🎉
Thanks mate 🙌👊
I literally had the same the other week, similar tank the lot
RIP 🪦 old tank 😂
Nice work as always mate
😎👍🤜
Thanks mate 👍👍
Am.glad I remove more than I replace
Don’t replace many to be fair first one for years, not a nice job in loft 🥵

I like that idea of the silencer 👍 lever valve yes would have been future proof to be fair. Sounds like good times with the scrap mate 😂👍👍
Did you use to work for BG? Those ladders look familiar 😂
Yeah mate got the small set as well 😂😂

What is all the pipes again couldn't hear properly
Cold feed to cylinder first one, cold fill with the ball cock, the pipe connected 22mm to top of tank was the vent pipe and last one connected was overflow
May I suggest you do voice overs when inside roof spaces with all that dust and insulation particles, so you can where a mask.
