Boiler cleaning kit

[armyash]

Hu guys what do you use for cleaning boilers on a service?

I have seen the brush sets available was just wondering if anyone has anything else they use.

Any suggestions?

Links to items would be appreciated

Thanks

I am not trying to offend you, but if you do not know this stuff, then you should not be considered GasSafe, how on earth have you even passed ACS.

Last week i met a RGI who could not use a pipe bender, on Wednesday i met a RGI who could not solder, had no idea at all what to do.

What is going on with our trade, what an absolute mockery of a guilded profession.

you are being a Richard.

What don't I know? I'm asking what things people use for boiler servicing that I might find useful. If you can't answer what I am asking don't waste your time replying to the thread.

You are obviously one of those RGI's who didn't need tips/advice/experience to learn the trade properly. Must have been born with the knowledge. I congratulate you.

I bought the 18V makita hoover for servicing. Only sucks but its ok. On special, 30 quid at Screwfix at the moment Think I paid 40.

I know they're not everyone's cup of tea but I found this set of brushes from Plumbcenter quite handy.

he passed it because he is flipping dedicated!

Ash has had the balls to ask many things that yourself would take the pee out of because he wants to do something right!!!

would you prefer him not to so you can go on thinking that everyone has the same knowledge and experience?

And while you're at it look down on new entrants to the gas industry?


actually i have a few questions gas.

Why are you not in the private section?
do you know everything about the gas industry when you first passed your exams?

 

[Dannypipe]

I've got that set Croppie, it's fine. Toolstation actually sell a couple of ok sets too.

 

[Dannypipe]

Here you go Ash, much the same but cheaper! Free delivery too.

I am, thrice.

Because you clearly passed the first time and knew absolutely everything.

What? before going it alone you think i just half arsed it, no, i put my time in and earned it, 5 year apprenticeship my friend, UK Government standard.

Yes, i passed first time, obviously.

And other people come to the trade in a different way. In Ash's case, having served HM Government's standards in an entirely different capacity.

So maybe cut the guy a little slack eh?

If I was half arseing it I wouldn't be employed.

I work for a firm but have done a few jobs private myself to earn a few more ££. Looking to start upping it now to gain experience and confidence which will enable me to earn more and also gain confidence which will be a benefit to the firm where i work now.

I come on here for advice and info as then I can go to work and come across something I may not have seen before but have an idea how to deal with it myself from what i have been told here without having to ask one of the more experienced guys for assistance.
