Day in the life of a plumber
In todays video I install a new oil combi, the video includes connecting the pipework, drilling the flue hole and a few things to watch out for along the way
As always, thanks so much for watching, all the support is so greatly appreciated

Loved that kitten , reminds me of job where I was chasing a puppy around customers garden to get a screwdriver back off him.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Chris, I had a dog steel one of my screwdrivers a while back, it chewed the thing to bits

Another great video Tom. You had Harry as an apprentice, now you’ve got a kitten! 🐈‍⬛

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Ian, I'm sure the cat might come in useful on some jobs, under floors to pull pipes through, have a great weekend mate

[@davidwalker6054]

Hi Tom, Great video as usual, if Harry"s beard get's any longer you will have to get him a Flat Cap so you both blend in together.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always David, I should get some with the company logo on

[@rm-mastering]

Love this one, I see you had the inspector around looking over your shoulder. 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

He was keeping a beady eye on me, thanks for watching mate, have a great weekend

[@johnwaby4321]

A great install both of you 👍👍. Not a lot of room in that boiler to get your pipes connected 😯 👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always John, there's not a lot of room but just enough, have a great weekend

[@peterdawson5115]

Very tidy as usual Tom, like the cat action, you must attract them, have a great weekend. 🐈🚽👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I think he liked my beard Peter, have a great weekend mate

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Everybody loves a kitten 😂. Should have a pet as a side show on the channel.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, they say never work with children or animals, I would add pipes to that list as well, have a great weekend

@@PlumbLikeTom you too have a good one

[@chrisholt2474]

Hi Tom, looking like a nice install there, good to see young Harry soldering and working with the copper pipe, looked like some nice soldering.
Is that the same cat that was under the floor in a previous film? It appears to like you. Another interesting film as always thank you, have a great weekend and take care Tom. 👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Chris, it was the same cat, I reckon it was after my beard, have a great weekend mate

[@julianhawker7672]

I'm really not a fan of the new WB Heatslaves, far too much plastic in it for my liking, they will have all the same leak problems as their Gas cousins.................................
Vortex for me every time over a Heatslave.
Have a good weekend Tom. 👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, fair point with the plastic parts, have a great weekend mate

Thanks, enjoyed the video and tidy work.
Do you find oil boiler customers asking about air source heat pumps? (Cheaper to run etc….)

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I don't get that many enquires for heat pumps, I used to sub for a heat pump company years ago and have fitted quite a few, there were some mixed results at the time but a lot was down to poor design. I was only a sub contractor though so was just sent the kit a drawing and fitted it. I'm still not sure they are suitable for everyone and every property despite the government pushing them, thanks for watching

[@darrenroberts6376]

I’m watching this in Lanzarote. All the adverts are Spanish..😮 “Plumb like Manuel”

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Enjoy mate, I wish I was on holiday, have a great time and thanks for watching

[@diddywright6165]

Nice content Tom, tidy install, shame about the flue! I reckon that kitten was after your whiskers!😂 Mate that brush has to go, it’s ruining efficiency😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, that kitten was definitely after my beard, I might have to treat myself to a new brush, the other one I have in the van I got when I started, it's down to the wood nearly, I need to find one with a lifetime guarantee so I can keep taking it back when it wears down

[@diddywright6165]

You could always get a new brush and retrain as a sparky, it’ll last you until you retire😂👍🏻

[@kevinisaac9139]

nice job Tom I am an approved Grant installer have been of 25 years do a lot of oil instals not keen on Worcester have fitted a few found the cases very flimsy

[@PlumbLikeTom]

The cases are quite thin, they aren't too bad on this model but the standard heat and systems I find sometimes the lugs bend and it makes the front case hard to remove, thanks for watching Kevin

[@keithbrueton]

What is it with plumbers and Cats, nice work Tom and Harry

[@PlumbLikeTom]

There must be something in the water, thanks for the support as always Keith

@@PlumbLikeTom you as well tom ...

[@llamedosr7843]

You taught the lad well, bastard when they solder better than you though.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

My soldering had always been poor, I always get to the stage where I'm happy and then add a bit more solder, thanks for watching mate

[@brianmayne6513]

Do you suffer from a sore back Tom

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Sometimes but not normally, I felt it tweak a bit the other week when I lifted a boiler on the wall, the pain soon went though,when I used to work with my old mate who had been plumbing his whole life, he couldn't lift anything at the end, have a great weekend Brian

[@Martindyna]

@@PlumbLikeTom Your daily work may be enough Tom but I was told by an Osteopath that you should keep your back strong by regular back exercises. I used to lie on my back in bed and dig my head and my butt into the mattress and arch upwards and do this at least 10 times a day or every other day at least (not so good for the mattress though haha). It worked. Touching your toes from a standing position at least 10 times is another good exercise for your back imo.

[@TheDickPuller]

Great Tom. I wonder if it’s not cheaper to fit a standard oil boiler & UVC??

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Materials would be cheaper, it is something I always consider but there just wasn't the space for a cylinder, there is only one bathroom in this house so a combi was ideal, thanks for the support as always

[@Bandits_At_3_o_Clock]

Thanks, enjoyed the video and tidy work.
