P B Plumber The life of a jobbing plumber #65

[@dennisphoenix1]

No good deed goes unpunished. If the customer doesn't ask you to do it , don't touch it .

[@wdhdmedia]

Your videos are awesome only recently started to watch them normally glued to the electricians channels, must of watched 10 plus videos today you have and they are all brilliant thank you for making them very professional. I had to repair my boiler a few years back due to cash flow issues. Basically put my hive on after visiting my mother in hospital got home house was freezing. Went to check the boiler and below it was full of water, had a pin hole in the expansion vessel. Ordered a new one and fitted it powered up the boiler and the glass fuse blew, checked the boiler over the expansion vessel pin hole managed to soak the main fan making that knackered. Ended up buying a second hand boiler that council was replacing for £50 a like for like boiler (Valiant ecomax 824e) changed the fan and then we finally had heating when it was minus 6, also used the old cork gasket as the condition was still fine. Just glad I managed to sort it in the end.

We've all been there PB, I dropped all my screws at 5pm on Christmas Eve in the rain!

[@AaronM4275]

That knipex part is brilliant 😂😂😂 what a legend

[@PBPlumber]

Haha I did a similar video called Edward spannerhands for a Wera tools competition once I might post that on next weeks video

[@AaronM4275]

Please do! I genuinely thought that video was brilliant. From listening to the podcast you seem like a great laugh. Top man 👏👏👏

[@deanchapple1]

I genuinely love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to do them. 🤙🏼👍🏼💪🏼

[@PBPlumber]

cheers dean i really appreciate it

[@Connor-pt9om]

Tried Tradify after seeing your vids on it and I have to admit it makes like much easier. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the trades

[@PBPlumber]

Decent tekkers ain’t it

[@johnbailey9011]

PB you have the patience of a saint your "mate" with the rads laughing and giggling at 4 on a Friday 🤬😤 I would have walked,keep up the good work bud 👍

[@koolworths]

Absolute piss take

[@justinsmith4486]

Cracking vid as always. The knipex bit was great 👍🏻 Typical customers you try and help going above and beyond and they aren’t happy !!!!! The other day on the radio I want to break free came on and in my head I saw you with your pink tu tu on. keep up the cracking work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@stuartgammie1862]

Awesome vid again PB, love that customer at the end 😀 can't believe you didn't have a gold flush handle in the van 😳😳🤣🤣

[@PBPlumber]

Schoolboy error, always carry a gold flush handle

[@Plumbingbob]

Yep I’m sure the screw box drop is a classic that we’ve all done. Nice job on the Edward video it got you a really nice prize. Love those jobs where the customer changes something

[@dickiedubs3137]

Can I ask what you used as a thread sealant on the rad tails please.......you only covered the first few.

[@paulrossiter9567]

You got some serious plumbing bling to your collection …knipex/Roth’s/Paperweight…👏👏👏 top class.

[@davidcross30]

Ha ha. That first clip. Yep just left my upstairs room with a box of wago connectors all over the place having just kicked it across the room. I’m gonna watch this with my tea then go and pick them all up.

[@billyclarke1791]

Hi Pete, great video! Just wondering what case or strap you use for keeping your iWatch safe whilst at work? Just picked up a series 6 and want it protected

[@jamiefors5062]

Love that lady at the end, you were so calm, fair play I need a new boiler as mines gone tits up, what would you or anyone recommend ?? Thank you in advance 👍👍

[@shifty277]

I think PB from watching his content is a big fan of Baxi combi boilers. They have a good range, google them and have a look at the plumbers merchants in your local area. Hope that helps.

[@aeves63]

PB great videos and full of information what brand of liquid PTFE are you using ?.

[@tommyblackman7119]

Great video Pete … 👍🏻 missed not having one last week

[@CsöszakiHoszivattyu]

I have the Rothenberger chrome anniversity, and I have Black Knipex Cobra XS... its like a show tool for me at home 😂😂

[@PBPlumber]

Oh awesome mate where did you get your chrome roths from?

[@CsöszakiHoszivattyu]

@@PBPlumber Hi I am originally Hungarian, my father Hungarian Gas Engineer just retired, in 2019 was 70th anniversary, and my father got it as gift from Roth Germany.. and I got it from my dad as gift. We love roth tools in hungary thats why I suprised when I seen your roth metal cutter, not seen in UK much. Where yours from? My dad told it was something special, I really never know is even exist..

[@PBPlumber]

@@CsöszakiHoszivattyu that’s a great story, I was in Germany at ISH and they gave me a set there

[@CsöszakiHoszivattyu]

@@PBPlumber You mean like the whole set chrome?? Woow sounds cool Prob that where my dad got it... I have no box sadly 🤥 I also use roth Rocase system for my battery tools, hoewer they impossible to source in UK, also got it from my old man..

[@Sctronic209]

What brand is your Ferrell cutter?

[@shannonharris7126]

Hi PB,another good video👍what size knipex pliers wrench do you use when doing the 15mm rad valves??

[@keithbrueton]

Rems 571870 Threaded Rod Cropping Tongs (M12) there can work with Milwaukee?

[@davidceredig-evans8772]

Another good vid. Thanks so much. Maybe I should invest in the Nerrad set - currently I carry in 3 slightly different basin wrenches - works OK most times! Some customers are really grateful, and some ... should carry your tools round for the day!

[@zinky130]

How do you ask a company to be an apprentice or a plumbers mate? how would you start the phone call?

When you put your multimeter in front of the blowtorch, I was waiting to see if you accidentally melted the casing :-)

[@charlie12358]

Didn't need to see the dropped screws, the anxiety that gave me

[@chrisgunn121]

Mardy cow, no pleasing some people, she didn't exactly have a gold plated bathroom!!!!! Nice touch from Lawtons and I reckon you should use them grips as I reckon they will earn you more from working them rather than sat in a box......Thanks PB

[@petereyre5188]

Love the paperweight 👌👌👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@andyhanlon9699]

Great video mate

[@BABYCHAOS26]

I can sympathise with you being at that rad job late and needing a piss, I do it all the time, you just want to get the job done and don’t want to waste any time by going to the bog.

[@bluedwarf8858]

Just carry a can of gold spray 🤪 also I have that nerrad tap kit after seeing you review it a while ago and its brilliant, got me out of some awkward situations.

[@crplumbing2746]

I hate it when plasterers do that why why why can they not leave the screw in the holes??????!!!!!!! its not rocket science

[@johnward5006]

Just caught your video. Fortunately, any idiot can change a thermocouple and if it doesn't solve the problem,as you found it will almost always fail safe.Some times the pilot solenoid lets by, despite the thermocouple doing it's job! This why we have mandatory training and assessment! 4 pm on a Friday percunetary advantage ,the phone did the spelling! In plumbing speak a P*** take! I and most would call it a day! On another tack, I'm trying to get support for an issue that Derek Robins at Tomkat has been experiencing. So far I've not found any support outside his site! My hope is that you and your subscribers will take the time out to view Tomkat, Trolled on utube and support his attempts to raise standards. Tenants always seem to have high expectations, but the bill is picked up by the landlord, funny that!

[@kevind7150]

FFS I know you had a new toilet flush handle in the van. But come on it wasn't a gold one. lmao

[@mrbadger9920]

I hate when you go to do a job and the customer ambushes you with something they have chosen not to tell you in advance. If they tell you beforehand you can come better prepared.

[@farukadam1696]

Lovely video

[@ParkesPlumbing]

thermocouple gang!

[@gasfitter78]

Great video. I don't think they should but customers can work on their own boiler. I insist if they haven't had the training don't do it.

[@johnhanson6155]

Great vid pb as always 💪👍

Wot - no gold loo handles? Call yourself a professional !

Hi, British Gas have given me a quote of £3400 to change my combi boiler in the garage for a new Worcester Bosch 4000 30kw Is this to much. Another plumber said he could fit a Baxi for a lot less. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

[@robcarroll6105]

Quick gate crash mate. I’m thinking of moving to a property with air source heating pump. All the info I can find on this is bad. The heating cost high , can’t draw enough energy on certain days to heat house and water etc. Grateful if you could give me an honest opinion of how good or bad these systems are at present . Realise they are the future, but are they there yet. Not a plumber by the way , just like your vids
