Hi Tom, a great find and repair there, well done Tom. I hope the customer appreciates how much money you have saved them by avoiding using the leak detection gang. Also a nice bit of copper pipe and soldering, as you know my favourite. Have a great weekend Tom and as always take care. 👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Chris, you can't beat a bit of copper, have a great weekend mate

[@bernherts]

Excellent video, saved them most of the 3 grand to get the leak detectors in

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support mate, the leak detection guys do a fantastic job but sometimes it's worth while having a hunt myself, if it had been herd to find they are worth ever penny as they make it look easy, have a great weekend

Always great to watch you mate whilst having a beer on a Friday night, brings back memories. Almost feels like I'm there helping you but of course, if I did that I might risk spilling my beer. Have a good one mate.

Thanks for the support as always mate, there is a lot to be said for that, it's OK having all this fancy equipment but sometimes all you need is your eyes and ears

[@diddywright6165]

Good video again Tom…..that boiler flue needs a bracket and fire stop m8t lol…..

[@PlumbLikeTom]

You are not wrong, I don't look after that boiler, it's a rival company so I turned a bit of a blind eye, I didn't want to seem like I was slagging off someone else's work, have a great weekend

Great vids Tom you are a lot better than you think with a vast amount of knowlege of oil gas domestic and Comercial. What make is your thermal heat cam please

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I use the bosche professional camera, it is expensive but is a good bit of kit, there are probably better ones on the market now for cheaper, thanks for watching as always 👍

[@leedsguyuk]

Another brilliant video, saved your customer a fortune Just curious Tom, you prefer to bend the pipes than using an elbow, any particular reason for that buddy? I'm just a 63 year old novice DIYer,? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I think bending looks better, it does also increase flow rates but it wouldn't have made much difference here, it's also cheaper as you don't have any fittings and the biggest one is bends don't leak, if you can bend well it saves a lot of time, thanks for watching as always

[@brianmayne6513]

[@kevinisaac9139]

Hi Tom I’m quoted and got a job for a commercial property and they have asked for a RAMS risk assessment do you have to do this thanks Kevin

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Yes, I have to do them for every commercial job, I have general templates set up where I just change the site locations and bits like that for smaller in and out jobs and general maintenance tasks. I do get asked for them as well as my insurance certificate more now than I ever used to. I pay a health and safety advisor and they do the more in depth ones. It just covers me if anything goes wrong or if HSE turn up. I can just ring my advisor and get them to come down. They also do all my asbestos testing before we start work on the bigger jobs. Hope that helps mate

[@kevinisaac9139]

Ok thanks for that Tom 👌

[@gregbenham5586]

Tom, honest thoughts on the thermal camera. Whats the cost of one. P.s great work mate.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It is a very good piece of kit and is very good for some jobs, I paid over a grand for this one and it's obviously a lot of money. In the past I used to hire one if I had a customer with a heating leak, it was around £60 so in the end I just bought one. I know some youtubers are sponsored by Topdon who make a budget camera, it looks a good bit of kit and is something I would have bought myself had I not already got the bosche one. They did offer me a free camera but I don't do sponsored videos, check out bluebull dogs latest video as I think he has the topdon camera, thanks for watching mate

[@gregbenham5586]

Tom, thank you for replying. Keep up the great work you carry out.

[@keithbrueton]

Yes Tom KISS

[@PlumbLikeTom]

That's it Keith, keep it simple stupid

[@mgbroadsterJ]

Do you install commercial systems ?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

I try not to take on anything to big as it ties me up to much, I mainly do heating extensions and the smaller plant rooms, I just don't have the time or the man power to take on anything much bigger, thanks for watching
