I know im obviously the better trade 😂😂 but i have to hand it to plumbers, you boys do get the crap end of stick with some to places you have to work. Doing that tap, im 55 and I definitely would have needed help getting back up 😂😂😂 But your right sometimes the prep and tidy take longer than the bleeding repair. Just be grateful it wasnt laminate flooring 😂

[@Heatking]

Haha that’s true mate! I’d have had to go at it from underneath! I’d dreading being 55 and in the trade :/! And we will agree to disagree on the first comment you made 😂😂😂😂

[@terryleaman3038]

Nice one Dan

[@Heatking]

Thanks Terry ♥️

[@ianc8814]

Nice work. You're dead right that exposing the problem (and covering up your neat work with the nasty boards and carpet) takes longer than the actual fix. Well done mate👍

[@Heatking]

Cheers mate, I actually really dislike the trace and access bit, because I know it’s all got to go back down 😂😂

[@user-hm9fg6jl8t]

Had a kitchen sink to unblock today. Surprised to find thick wire wool, hair trapped inside and what not. Why do people put all this thing in the sink. Crazy.

[@Heatking]

I think with a lot of people it’s probably lack of common sense mate

[@mrharry8466]

I really enjoyed that upload. It's good to see how people tackle the day to day problems.

[@Heatking]

Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SteveHit1]

Another very interesting video and brilliant work Dan! That blocked drain - what a job! Excited to see part two!

[@Heatking]

Thanks Steven 🙏🏽🙏🏽 part 2 is included in next Tuesdays video :)

[@thegrinch295]

Totally love this episode mate ! Also the jobs in this video are totally made for you. Your hands barely fit in there. I hope all your customers are happy with your dedication and service

Really good video, some tricky jobs there

[@Heatking]

Thank you very much matey!

[@killerbean9911]

top video mate, strange stuff in that waste pipe, how on earth have they got in there without force? Btw invest in the ox polyzip cutters for waste pipes, unlike the bulldog/knipex multi use ones, you don't need any addition pressure on them so they cut themselves if you can get in there to twist it! It's saved my ass a few times

[@Heatking]

Cheers mate, I’ll take a look at them 💪🏼 and they was being forced down, by their child. 😂

[@marcusmaximus451]

Cheers Scott! I never actually think of using the wet vac to unblock drains. 🤦🏽‍♂️ what a donut haha

[@chiron6699]

Great work......but did you spot or remove thst mangy bent over nail holding the other pipe in place before putting floor boards back? Regards

[@Heatking]

I didn’t mate. I did see it however. But didn’t remove it. I know they say the steel nail will rot the copper but it’s been done in houses for years so just left it be. If that makes sense.

Blimey, a cliff-hanger! What ever next! "You aint my mother" - Tune in next week to see if Dan can unblock mrs Miggins tubes!

[@MarcGray1990]

Mental how all that stuff got in there to be fair! I went to a blocked sink the other week….. took the trap off couldn’t see anything. Went further along still couldn’t see anything blocking it…. Took another look at the trap and it was blocked solid with melted white candle wax on the u bend or the trap! Candle wax!!! I meen why! Just why!!?

[@Heatking]

Haha why or even how!! 😂😂

[@jeromeroddy4931]

Glue everything and then put a couple of tubes of silicone just in case!😂😂 How did those items get through the shower trap🤔 And have you tried removing the chip board flooring when it’s polyurethane glued down and screwed!😵‍💫

[@Heatking]

The child had been pushing them Down the shower trap hole 😬😂😂 and yeh I’ve tried that… what an absolute pain it is 😂😂😂

[@solomondouglas2674]

Where can I buy this inspection camera ?

I’m not sure it’s on sale anymore. But it’s called the ispy from today’s tools.

Another great video mate and we only moan about the gloves because we care 😂. Is that a different van or have you emptied the front?

I’ve emptied the front mate. But new one is incoming, so well spotted! Haha. I know mate, I’m only joking when I say you moan. I know you mean well ♥️😂

No top hat washers on the bath tap?

Nar mate, I’ve never bothered with them to Be honest.

[@bled83]

@Heatking I find it's easier to remove the taps that have them on, if needed.

[@Heatking]

@@bled83 yeh definitely agree with you on that one! Just a pain when they break and the tap becomes loose.

[@terrymalicoat6892]

@@Heatking My cousins are plumbers. They own boats and homes and vacation a lot. So I’d say they’re making a nice living.

[@johnward5006]

Given all the tools and other aids available; it never ceases to hack me off to see basic plumbing much less best practice installations appear to be beyond the standards of too many (plumbers?). Access and misuse of sealants are a recurring theme! The "Old Boys" who set the standards for me and others back in the 1960's must be turning in their graves!! Perhaps, lack of proper structured training and discipline is at the root of the problem. No chance the way it is Government targets on green technologies will ever be met, let alone house building Numbers!!!

[@Heatking]

I agree there, does nobody ever think.. what if I’ve got to get back under there etc. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mattsan70]

get the vac on it and suck the blockage out - just a thought
