I remember when i did my first bit of soldering on a basin move and was turning the water back on i had left the taps open in bath, from downstairs i just heard a massive gush of water and thought the worst, ran back up the stairs to see it was just the bath filling and all the solder joints were dry - panic over :D

[@MrIRunnyIBum]

Hey dude just wanted to say I'm glad you and your channel are around. I started the level 1 course in september (albeit 10 years later than usual), With it being 1 week in doing practical and 1 week out doing the very early stages of theory it's been handy being able to watch your vids and fill in some of the blanks plus learn certain things earlier than the college planned. So yeah thanks again and hopefully I can actually finish the course with the relevant knowledge :D

[@stevesunderland3943]

Eh up. 70 year old plumber back again, I really enjoyed this video. Regarding the dodgy knees, I’m going for a knee replacement in March and I’m gunner be out of action for a while. I’ll watch your videos while I’m off to make sure I don’t forget how to do it. You work exactly how I do, as in a dab of solder on a Yorkshire fitting. I never trust em without it. 👍👍👍

[@colzie94]

Absolutely love these videos 👌🏽👌🏽 keep them coming 💪🏽

[@Mr_Ashley]

It’s so weird that you’re doing these videos now as I’m undergoing my first bathroom renovation at home. Great for reference! Thanks dude 👍

[@kdoherty1000]

Can’t thank you enough for this brilliant video(s) 👍🏻 I’m on the cusp of fitting two bathrooms (one at a time!) so was absolutely chuffed when you said you were doing yours! And I’ve never done this type of DIY before but feel ‘relatively’ confident as a result of the vids🤞 Thank you again (and thanks for keeping it so upbeat/funny/professional)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi James. I must apologise. I was at least 12 minutes into the video before I remembered to hit the Like button. That usually gets smashed before I even start. OH MY GAWD!!!!

[@orangestig8066]

Great video, can I ask for help.... we live in a 1970’s timber frame bungalow ( sat on concrete slab) the heating system works great but after some investigations realise that there is a leak between rads and heating tank , the flow and return pipes are under / in the concrete floors. I been told to get a company in to pin point where leak is then get a plumber to repair, then new floor finish... Thing is . if it’s the kitchen then to sort floor will be very expensive. And who’s to say that other copper pipe joints may be corroding in another room next month. Should I instead drop pipes from loft then inside stud walls to (12) rads and abandon the underfloor copper pipes in slab ? Hope above makes sense, cheers

[@stevelambert6689]

No issues with adding a bit more solder, I been doing it for years. Any thoughts on lagging the hot pipes to keep the heat in, something I've always done. Pipes through joists if drilled or notched a piece of DPC to keep off the wood and effectively quiet.

[@fr_mental]

Hi James ! Big fan of your channel, I’ve just started my course to become a plumber. Reconverting slowly to from hospitality. Any advice for an aspiring plumber starting at 30 ? Cheers. Stay safe.

[@danieldainty2721]

Would it make any differance using speedfit and flexipipe? I like copper if it's on display does it really matter in floorboards?

[@sween187]

When running pipes through joists I'd put pipe insulation, helps stop rattling,

[@kadzo1000]

Sticky Bar codes on fittings sounds like B & Q numpties 🤣

[@jigsey.]

Hey up James, I was driving home yesterday listening to mark Dolan and up pops you 😁 what's your podcast

[@plumberparts]

Haha! The Real Normal Podcast. Enjoy!

[@charlesboadi3368]

Do you have video on how to stop vibration in pipes please?

[@jordanbennett9342]

Do you have to wait long to solder once drained I’ve done it a few times and the solder doesn’t take when there’s abit of water init any tips?

[@ADF-js9vi]

Hi James. Just a question, not a criticism. Why didn't you take the sink waste through the wall and connect to the stack externally? Thanks.

[@dh8822]

Love the videos mate. Quick question, you reckon at 34 it’s too late to get into the plumbing industry?

[@K-carbon]

Looking good james I have to clean out beween the floor joices no way I could leave all that dirt there

[@plumberparts]

This afternoons job!

[@AcheForWake]

21:12 ‘Sorry, just get on with your life’ damn right - I love how confident you are with your audience (core, peripheral and outsiders). Good job James, I moved into my house last year, and constantly wonder whether bathroom is as solid under the skin as it is on the surface.

[@user-hm7ic7lr6s]

How do you apply for planning and building regulations?

[@dplatts14]

One thing i would mention when checking for leaks after soldering is you can sometimes get condensation on the pipe/joins due to fresh cold water running through the warmer pipes - can make you think it's a weep.

[@conorwatt3291]

If this bathroom had a concrete floor, for your copper water pipes, would you chase the floor, wrap the pipes, and embed them in the concrete, or surface mount and box in? In the middle of a bathroom renovation, and receiving mixed opinions from tradespeople

[@offcuts4146]

Hi not sure if ur into ur football if so undr the cosh is good if not anything goes with james english is quality too. Good vodeo by the way

[@associationassignment7497]

How do you decide if you’re going to drill the joists or notch them? Or does it depend on what’s already been done and reusing them

[@pumpkinhead456]

There's plenty info online about where you can and can't drill and notch joists. Usually you find the last plumber has hacked the floor to bits; if the house is still standing then best using their hacked bits!

[@associationassignment7497]

@@pumpkinhead456 appreciate the reply, I’m doing a plumbing apprenticeship but only work in new build which uses HY joists so was just curious how you would run the waste mostly

[@mars6394]

Is it ok to add a sink into the shower waste pipe so they are both in the same waste outlet

[@pumpkinhead456]

If you do, probably best fitting an air admittance valve to stop the sink syphoning out the water from the shower trap. Best practice is for separate pipes to stack, but I've just added a bath and shower on one 50mm branch (I'm a DIYer, albeit a good one 🤣)

obviously the partition wall is on top of the joist it’s not going to be in between on the floor boards
