good work fishing that flex behind the tiles mate, nice clean job.

[@martinjoyce3814]

Yeah, very nice work for the towel rail, and even for taking the time to look for fan outlet on roof. Respect.

[@benji182]

Pro Level at routing the flex! Keep up the good work CJR!

[@joffey1990]

I agree how the f did he get that up 😂

[@simon-maddox]

"Holiday Mode" showing on the controller at the beginning - surely more likely to be that than the polarity of a thermistor?

[@JBE]

Great video Chris, tidy job too. I've seen the extractor fan going to nowhere trick before!

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Great that you got everything in that bathroom working with no hassle. Very nice job on the towel rail - stupidly short flex!

[@PHealey1981]

Bloody marvellous Chris, top jobbin!! 👍🏻

[@James_Bowie]

Very neat work on that towel rail. 👍

[@bikerchrisukk]

Really well put together video Chris, keep up the good work (Not just the lecky!). 👍

[@tc_electrician5329]

Nice job mate that flex fishing was top notch 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏼

[@NBundyElectrical]

Nice vid Chris 👌 I hate underfloor heating thermostats!!

[@JohnyComeLately]

I enjoy your videos, keep them coming please.👍🏼

[@benjackson1498]

Top job on the towel rail mate looked spot on 🤙🤙

[@brendymalone1]

Great job and video mate. Some nice tips there aswell

[@charliechimples]

Great job, I wish all troubleshooting was that simple. Thanks for sharing. 🐵

[@JackdiyGarden]

Been watching your videos for quite a while now and your filming and commentary has gotten much better man, very interesting and enjoyable! Keep it up

[@jamespetre]

Love the concealed towel rail flex and the label maker labelling.

[@alexdougherty4905]

Hats off for drilling that tile and getting the flex through 👍

[@Kippaxx61]

Great video just goes to show how a simple job can easily go wrong

[@UKIP]

There's no polarity to the underfloor heating probe. It's simply a NTC thermistor, typically 22kΩ at 5° C, 10kΩ at 25° C and 7kΩ at 35° C.

[@jameswilliams7974]

It's most likely a thermocouple in which case there is polarity.

[@Irilia_neko]

Yeah I think too

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job again like always

[@johnoreilly7052]

I love your work Chris and I am a electrician myself

[@varilight]

Nice work CJR!

[@The_Joker_]

Anyone who cuts corners is just not worth your time or money. This is the kind of guy you need, honest and more than capable of doing the job correctly.

[@darenvitaelectrical5310]

Nice patience with the towel rail Chris ,with the floor sensor not working , maybe see if the controller will work as remote air sensor and put the sensor through the wall

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

great job with the flex from towel rail....i would love to know how you did that

[@norfolkhall]

You did well getting that flex behind the tiles, nice neat job. Pity the tiler wasn't as neat, have you noticed the tile trims at 09:00

[@AllStarNES]

Mounting towel radiators on tile is what makes men out of boys. Keep up the good work pal

[@ScottMcD91]

We all want a couple more inches Chris 😂

[@johnoreilly7052]

Happy New year Chris

[@peanutpotion]

quality job quality videos mate

[@Rosscoff2000]

It was showing Holiday mode, so surely you would have tried turning that off first before taking 2000 years to open up the thermostat box? And floor sensors are just temperature dependent resistors (thermistors) so they have no polarity. If you suspect a faulty thermistor, just disconnect it and measure its resistance with a multimeter. Almost all are around 10k at room temp - if it's less than 1k or more than 100k you would suspect a short or open fault.

Hi great video,how did u manage to get the flex behind the tiles?

[@rscelectrical7091]

Nice job as usual Chris, how the bloody hell did you manage to drill behind those tiles ?.

[@richardwash6678]

Nice one Chris 👍

[@zjzozn]

Nice one Dave 👍😂

[@freepbx6070]

We had a £6k bathroom done once, nice job, chased the plumber for over a year, several times for invoice, never got it, never paid. Guessing it was a tax thing.

I definitely think you could get at least 4 more adverts in mate... 😂😂😂

[@Khanjan-si8me]

Well done do more video plz.

[@DAVEHARSTON]

Top job mate

[@tww5719]

Always check at points for earth loop impedance ,polarity,if you have worked on someone's work,especially that you connected towel rail

[@chazvirdee2012]

Great vid mate. How the he'll did u get that flex to the outlet ??

[@andrewdobson3518]

Dunno how u managed get that flex fished up there but good effort!! That woman would be best to get a roofer to put a tile vent in

[@melike1984]

YOU are What a good trades mans is all about,

[@tireddad4095]

Not all heroes wear capes. Good vid as usual. I can guess how you did the flex. But if you ever get chance to show stuff like that it would be appreciated. Just starting out...........at 41.

[@johnoreilly7052]

Chris I am electrician and I just wondered is is electric vehicle charging point is the exam easy or hard please can you let me know and I love your videos

[@solarrover9575]

I thought the probe could be pulled up out of its conduit and and a replacement put in?

[@stephenrowley4171]

Normally people disappear with the money without doing the work not the other way around. Maybe he coped it before finishing?

[@reececooper4974]

Love your content mate, Im currently an electrician working on new build houses but want to work for myself, any tips?

[@FortniteEruption]

Reece Cooper go for it 👍

[@TheDeathBonus]

Nice little job there Chris would you mind telling how you fished the flex behind the tiles?

[@regferraris]

I believe he drilled through in an angle and fished the cable.

[@fijtips112]

Guessing he did a bit of fishing from the backbox hole first to see if it was possible i.e. if there was a cavity, then just drilled into that cavity.

[@wilbauk]

What make was the towel rad?

[@niallers8572]

Did you get paid for the previous job or did the DIY builder shaft you?

[@zjzozn]

The extractor fan sounded better before you fixed it 😂

[@001Neal100]

Loving the extractor fan just blowing into the loft 😂

[@paulmorrey733]

Cheers Chris

[@willford8475]

"I can't wait to meet you ....Ducky"

[@justme5384]

You don't install the floor probe in a pipe/tube? We always do that because the floor thermostat life expectancy is about 7 years and all floor thermostats have their own probe and mostly you have to replace them... Oh and I see red when someone fasten anything in the mortar between the tiles... Always drill through the tile

[@Warner1981]

I’m curious why drill the tile over the grout line? Surely easy to re grout than swap a tile if you remove the towel rail etc.

[@iankerr4380]

Hi Chris, how do you rate chint stuff? Cheers Ian (Kerr Electrics)

[@user-km8jz9tp3e]

When you on GSH?

[@PixiBoii]

That thermostat cable hasn't been properly terminated in the shield! Could be the cause of the problem. If it's pressed into a wire like that you might as well just don't use it. Use a metal strap or EMC gland.

[@persona250]

What are you talking about ? The sensor has no braid .

[@arvydasnorus8118]

how much did you charge in total?

[@supersparks9466]

I always install 2 probes

[@peterryan7827]

Obviously, i do,nt know if you have time to answer peoples electrical problems, but I thought i would just ask, we have flickering lights, and it's not just on the two way down the stairs, it seem even in the bathroom, and on lights plugged into the wall sockets in the lounge, we had a new extension built a year ago and everything in there has its own new mini-trip board and has no probs it seems, Nothing has so far ever tripped out, can you possibly advise, sadly we are in Newark and prob way out of your area,.

[@Cjrelectrical]

Yes I can advise you call a local electrician.

[@peterryan7827]

@@Cjrelectrical Ok cheers no idea what it might be then mate thanks anyway.

[@DstandsforDoomed]

The sensor on the stat literally says “No Polarity”...

[@d33dub]

did you listen to the video? he said as such himself but the manufacture's manual said it does matter.

[@arniewheeler4673]

the drill bit won't do porcelain though chap, my son has a tiling business and we go through some diamond bits a year i can tell you....

No all circuits are rcd protected and db is metal so is no more than 2 years old

[@stephenrowley4171]

[@stephenrowley4171]

I think he means there was a Baird change. That needs checking

[@masonchapman148]

@@stephenrowley4171 Correct. He said there had been a board change and maybe it was worth a full test to make sure it's all okay.

Chris I need your card mate!

[@Alan_AB]

I enjoy watching your videos but, please please please - Get a camera stand or holder. I'm getting motion sickness watching you open up switches!!!!!

[@fd3871]

just an fyi, if the floor in the bathroom has been recently added you are supposed to wait a month before turning on floor heating. if you don't, it can lead to premature failure of the material that bonds the floor tiles to the floor.

[@apartmentswales]

Love your attention to detail and that Towel rail installation was something else, how neat was that, but tell me you did not connect it to a Choc Connector Floating in the Metal Wall Box [I see that you Left no filming of this connection] and that you used a Fused Spur, unswitched of course for the Heater and you never relied on the 32A/20A Breaker at the Board? That Ceiling Extractor Fan seems a common practice to vent to the attic space and some have argued that if the roof has vents then this system is ok, but I think spraying moist / wet air over your trusses is never a good idea and certainly not a good long term plan. Other than the Towel Rail it does seem to me that you had a realy lucky day, looking for on/off switches and reading up on how to program the underfloor heater, every Electricians dream and the end of your filming that Consumer Unit at least from the outside looked pretty good, it appeared to have complied with current regs and was marked up, but my thoughts are that you should have opened it up and visually inspected it, taken a photo and made a comment if needed to the owner. Mr Spence Eng

[@carlj3515]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ashmanelectricalservices4318]

Why didn't the first electrician just fit the fan to the wall, saves messing about with flexi ducting and roof tiles.

[@AllStarNES]

It could well have been a Friday

Shouldn’t you use masking tape when drilling through tiles?!

[@Cjrelectrical]

Yes that’s a method too if your not confident in drilling tiles.

[@andytaylor9032]

The tile trims are shoddy!!

[@theCybershot123]

LOVE the rant one should change name to J C nobody listens to me Jesus Christ.

[@1bigsyd]

From experience..Be careful if you ever upgrade an underfloor heating controller,the probe has a measured resistance and has to match the controller you fit otherwise it shows as an incorrect heat reading
