    Hi Tom, a nice few jobs there getting sorted, I don’t mind jobbing around occasionally but definitely not all the time.
    The worst part for me is the driving between jobs and finding a parking space etc.
    Hope you’re now feeling better mate, have a good weekend and as always take care. 👍👍👍

    Good call Tom.
    I used to be in reactive maintenance, with various social housing contracts.
    Dripping taps, float valves, dodgey syphons etc.
    Don’t mess around changing parts, change the full unit for new.
    Then (hopefully) no call back, to do the job, that you wish you had of done in the first place. Many new parts are cheaper than call backs/hourly rates!

      @PlumbLikeTom  Місяць тому +1

      I have learnt the hard way in the past, by the time I have messed around trying to fix it, I could have been in the van and onto the next job had I just changed the lot without the fear of a call back. Thanks for the support mate

    I’m always surprised to see a system full of magnetite (as you showed) still working! (I suppose it wouldn’t have been the case for microbore.)
    Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

    don't blame the plumber for poor fixings on radiator on new builds builders can't be bothered to put a sheet of timber where radiators fit and secondly plumbing company you work for can't bothered to pay for decent plaster board fixings because the plumbing company has given really cheap price to get the work go work on new builds for a month and try it you will end pulling your hair out they want top quality plumbing for crap pay

    Good content Tom, I like the jobbing ones👍🏻 one of the reasons I like doing bathrooms from scratch is that you know where you need additional timber for rads, screens sinks etc so you can always get a decent fixing. I hope that screen in the teaser was going in the skip mate🫣

    Hamworthy, when they send out the commercial PCBs now they don’t preprogram them. You have to call them so you can set it up either 0 to 10 V or volt free signal from the BMS it’s a right pain.

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  Місяць тому +1

      It turned out to be a problem with the interlock onto the gas solenoid, until that proved it wouldn't move onto letting the boiler go through it's sequence, putting the boiler in service mode was over riding that stage. They changed something in the panel and it's all be working fine, thanks for the support as always James
