MY BOILER MAINTENANCE TOOL BAG | Parkes Plumbing

[@ParkesPlumbing]

What was your favourite tool? ... don't say me.

[@markcain4710]

Will them pliers remove rounded off bolts out of a plate to plate on a vailiant eco tech?

[@furkanozdas878]

Parkes plumbing do you think COVID-19 affected the plumbing business? Like yours

[@ifyougetstucklookitup237]

Yep the pliers to remove rounded screws. Im also looking at getting the smaller adjustable spanner as a older trainee/shadowing an experienced sparky

Great video mate! Bit like crack, it only takes one Veto then you are hooked... That said, I think having a crack addiction probably works out cheaper...lol

I can confirm crack is cheaper than veto

Thanks mate. I’ll be back soon

[@rayc1503]

The tool behind the tools is the greatest tool of all. Seriously though knipex wera and facom all the way for me. Do you find you end up purchasing multiples of the same tools for different bags? When you spend on tools, you tend to look after them a little better. Everything has a place so you tend to realise if something has been misplaced gone walkies. What would you reccomend safety shoes boots wise? Great stuff place, keep doing what you do best and keep safe. 👍

[@ParkesPlumbing]

Yep I have multiple bags with the same tools .. plumbing bag .. boiler bag .. oil etc .. easier to be organised that way. I swear by englebert strauss boots. High quality German brand. I’ve only had 2 pair in 4 years

Don’t forget to run the purge code when you refill the boiler , ( before you switch it on )

[@ParkesPlumbing]

[@reghy2008]

Hi thanks for the video. Why did you replace the pcb? If u have replaced expansion vessel and sorted the fuse issue. Thanks

[@ParkesPlumbing]

The display was jumping and producing strange symbols which is a sign of the board going. Then next call would have been a “60” fault so it was best to change it there and then

[@jasonprice9274]

Love that Veto! Do they have it in blackout edition?

[@ParkesPlumbing]

Not yet .. they just brought out the xxl though

[@smoothoperator6117]

Was looking at plumbing as a career change but heard with the run out of boilers by 2025 for eco heating some this the trade value (£) will be harder would like to hear your thoughts ?

[@yensabi]

Dont panic , theres millions of boilers out there that still need repair and service for the next 50 years plus...

[@janseven7712]

Im from the Netherlands ...Here all new builds houses must be heated with a heat pump ...Im not a fan ..But it creates only more work for plumber’s/heating Engineer's ........For existing houses they will probably start using hydrogen in the future instead of natural gas ....Not much will change i think 🔮 .....More important is if you like the trade ...Try to help out a plumber for a few days

[@rayc1503]

You'll be able to replace gas boilers. Where existing gas metered supplies are already in service. Service maintenance and breakdowns are still plentiful. Seriously don't worry gas is here for another 100 plus years. I doubt any of us will be about when gas runs low. Go for it.

[@smoothoperator6117]

@@rayc1503 Thanks for that, My alternative was to do electrics but looks so complicated especially with all the certs required, Plumbing was my first choice as I have a real interest in it.

[@rayc1503]

@@smoothoperator6117 Electrics aren't to difficult either. It just takes longer in practice. I spread mine practical and training over 2 years. I've been in the gas industry for around 13 years. You live and learn. If you're willing and able you can earn well in this industry. You get in what you put out. With electrics we have an inspector visit every year to push all the regs which we never knew existed at us. 😂👍

[@plumbraider2265]

@@ParkesPlumbing ah that’s nice. But I like everything in one bag, hence the MCT. I don’t like trips back to the van if it’s not for parts. MCT is actually a little to small. I also work for a boss so I get an hour for a service call, sometimes less, including travel time. For a small team of service techs (and I’m technically an apprentice with just short of two years experience, but I’m full time on service and repairs) we have a lot of customers.
