The varied life of a jobbing plumber

In todays video I replace a flush valve on a toilet, change an old Worcester heat slave oil boiler and install some remote sensing thermostatic radiator valves. I show you some plumbing tips and tricks along the way to hopefully make life easier.
As always, thanks so much for watching, all the support is greatly appreciated

Good content as usual Tom, glad to hear you’ve booked a holiday, I’m not having one this year as I’m too busy! 😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I'm mad busy at the minute as well, I was worried the other week that work was slowing down a bit but it seems to have gone the other way, I'm not going until September so hopefully it should be OK

[@peterdawson5115]

Pleased your getting a holiday Tom, well deserved, you work hard and everyone needs a break, another tidy install , that story about the lad in bed whilst doing that combi swop, the things we plumbers tolerate, unbelievable but made me chuckle 😂 take care 🚽👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Peter, I couldn't believe he never got up, if I had someone coming over I would make sure everything was perfect in my house, some people just aren't bothered

[@glynstorer3269]

Enjoy your break mate

[@maxnavsa4470]

You made a complicated oil boiler installation look very easy. Great work! Come on Tom, highly skilled plumbers like you are minting it, get yourself a nice exotic luxury holiday, some where like Dubai? You deserve it for all the hard work you do. And well done for resisting to poke your eyes with your fingers 😀

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Max, going abroad is something that's never really bothered me, I'm just happy to have a few days somewhere and relax

[@chrisholt2474]

Close to 10k you should have 50k subs mate Jacobs gonna be a good engineer after all your training top channel this good on ya on a holiday when I was self employed I didn't have one for getting on four years never seem to have time best thing I did enjoy Tom

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I haven't had a holiday in 5 years, it's difficult to switch off but I'm sure it will be ok for a few days

[@pookievision]

Had a repair today that stumped me! Viessmann (eww) system boiler S-plan! Dhw or ch on its own worked fine! Both on same time the boiler temp shot up and kept knocking off...was like 🤔 started when new cyl was put in...figured out no gate valve on flow to cyl = water was finding quickest route when both demands on and going to cyl and coming back hot af...new gate valve, sorted! ✌️ learned summin new! 🤯

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Pleased you got it sorted mate, it's sometimes those jobs where you need a crystal ball to know what the last person had done, thanks for watching

[@ianc8814]

We gotta get you to that 10k Tom!

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Getting closer every day, another couple of months and we should be there, thanks for watching as always 👍

[@FrankieBoy-wn6qt]

It’s good your having a break m8t you need it…so when you go switch OFF…….have a good one m8t..👍👍👍

[@johnwaby4321]

Nice to hear you have booked a break Tom. You have both done a great job on that boiler . Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

How are you I have missed you. Didn't you get out of filming? Kidding! (I wish you all the best and success in your life)

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate 👍

[@SteveHit1]

Very interesting video Tom - thanks. You made a great job of sorting out that pipework mess around the oil boiler. My heart sinks when I see a load of copper joined with speedfit; it just looks bad as much as anything. Two man soldering was impressive! I suppose that’s a situation is when Yorkshire solder ring fittings are handy! Great to hear you’ve booked a holiday!

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always Steve, Yorkshire are something I've never carried, like you say they do come in useful though, I'm looking forward to getting away

[@GotMoreCakes]

Great to hear you're having a break in Wales and not think about work for a bit. Whilst you're over here would you mind popping in and taking a look at my leaking tap too, cheers!

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I've actually got a commercial job on the go in Wales at the minute, its all fusion pipework

[@TomChapman-wv9iq]

You and Jacob make that soldering look soooooo easy lol

[@PlumbLikeTom]

It's just practice, mine has never been the neatest but it rarely leaks, thanks for watching as always Tom

[@agaman3728]

Definitely a keeper that burner. Could get you out of a tight spot on a cold winters night that👍

[@PlumbLikeTom]

They are worth keeping if they are decent, I have a few good ones in my stores I can use in emergency's, thanks for watching mate

[@tirvplumbing]

We go campong in South Wales every summer. Highly recommend it, there's some stunning little hidden gems to be explored. You're doing well with the running. I struggle in the week as I'm usually knackered after work too. 😂

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Thanks for the support as always mate, I'm looking forward to getting away, I've missed the last few nights of running due to the heat but I will try to do extra on the weekend

[@martinwright7093]

Good work again, Tom. Might be worth saving the diverter valve off the old Worcester, they’re getting really expensive now.

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Fair point mate, I haven't changed one in a while though but my look I will need one next week, thanks for watching as always Martin 👍

Is the tubing on those remote TRVs not ripe for damage, or did someone come along after and put some protection/trunking in?

[@PlumbLikeTom]

The cables were all hidden behind the rad covers and the sensors just sat next to them with no wire showing. I thought I had filmed a finished one but couldn't find the footage, it was a bit of a mind numbingly job to be honest, thanks for watching 👍

[@glynstorer3269]

Ive got man flu at the moment feeling like shite

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Hope you feel better soon mate, take it easy

[@glynstorer3269]

What do you prefer gas or oil boilers

[@PlumbLikeTom]

Oil to fix, gas are easier to install due to the weight, thanks for watching as always Glyn
