What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Viessman 222- f - 1 year down the line time to service this ready for winter hasn't been any trouble but not the most enjoyable task everything is so awkward maybe it will be easier next time . Kop

Looks an awkward one, I'll not be fitting any of those

Wasn't a easy install and definitely a pita to service but their bills are lower and weather compensation has worked well the customer is tec savy so no worries with the app . Kop

After a run of bathrooms been having a run of Combi conversions getting fewer conversions these days now though.

Can’t decide which boiler you like???

Can’t decide which boiler you like???

Use Main as our budget boiler - cracking for money.
Vaillant is our go to ‘Premium’ brand. The Worcester one I’d offered them two options Worcester and Vaillant. Worked in my favour for as could run pipes down back.

The Pro is a solid boiler though. Be sad to see it go when it does. Vaillant are just a bit behind with their modulation etc. as new model has been delayed.

Even though I don’t know what I’m doing from one week to the next, it‘s still all similar and mundane. Gas safety checks, occasional boiler fault, and installing some thermostats. Friday was most exciting day when I got to change some wiring going into a programmer, that I think was just being used as a junction box.

What do you do about backflow prevention on the shower hose? Only way I was able to do it on level access showers was a chrome school board clip, or in some instances a shorter hose.

Just had three days converting gravity hot to unvented in a bungalow, plus re routing all pipes in roof space ready for a loft conversion next year.
Had to move feed and expansion for heating and get it all up and running today. Left at 8.00 tonight.
50 minutes later, text message, water bubbling up through kitchen floor.
The only section of hot pipe in the concrete floor runs from under the bath and across kitchen floor to sink, and it's gone pop.

Only thing I could do tonight was turn off hot water.

But now have to fit in pulling up a real wooden floor and digging out concrete to fix the leak.

Not like I'm busy or anything. Ffs.
