Hello everyone ive just landed myself a plumbing job after many months of searching i did the c&g 6129 and just need some hands on well ive got a job working on new builds with a local plumber as a plumbers mate just wondered what sort of stuff would you think a plumbera mate would be doing on new builds if that makes sense thanks

making tea and sweeping up, plus a bit of fetch and carry

Hanging rads

It will be all plastic so just be quick and try and think what your plumber needs before he asks for it. And leave your blower in the van

Rads, drilling holes, cleaning up.

Take your blower on site and sit round most the day on face book.

Well that's what they do on the site I'm on

Your journeyman will have all pipes in place , when your first fixing youl maybe get pipe insulation to do and basically get him anythin he needs, Im doing new builds at the moment and ive my mate giving me a hand and although hes an engineer offshore there isnt massive amounts of stuff i can get him to do apart from assist,, yeh tea maker goes without saying,

Is it a main builder or small fry

Digging pipes out of plastered walls cause there has been a carp first fixer.

Just a local builder who has a few sites on the go

since you have decided in advance that the work yu want to be doing for your builder is Hanging Radiators and you say you have never done this before, and yu want to know how it is done,
go onto the website and find a radiator manufacturer and download the installation instructions (any radiator you buy will provide you with details of how to HANG it. How do you think we have all this DIYers succeeding?). Read the proceedure for hanging them. Its straightforward. That way, when you attend for your job, you will sail through it.
Good luck and well done
