Probably fairly easy to diagnose if you're in the bathroom, providing the customer isn't stood over you and not saying anything. I mean whats all that about.? I'm too polite to tell them to 'do one'

I had to tell a customer off recently though, I was there ages fiddling with a shower valve that another guy had not been able to put back together, she stood over over me with a right attitude. Talk about putting me off, she then had the cheek to say "if you couldn't fix it why didn't you say you could on the phone?" I lost my cool and told her I couldn't fix it while you were on my back. She went downstairs and 5 mins later I'd fixed it.

All I needed was some breathing room, unbelievable.

Whats this about a CWSC?

I thought it was a combi?

Must be a Friday night wind up..........you got me!! :seeya:

 

[WaterTight]

-Right, first thing we need to do is to make the system stable by letting off some of the pressure. A cup of tea's worth should do it. Would you mind?

 

[mrplumberman]

the guy had asked us to remove the cwsc as it no longer was needed as we installed a mains fed electric shower.wish it was a wind up.this is totally stressing me out as the guy is going bush.

 

[gmac]

is it possible that the cwsc feeds the woman down stairs as she said she has no water in her bathroom now.since we renovated the guys bathroom.possibly another job to do.so i should hold syphon open to see if boiler fires up?

If I were you i'd run and hide

 

[mrplumberman]

should i turn the boiler off then try it?

 

[gmac]

not really but rather you than me mate

This reminds me of advice given to me by my ex boss when I'd screwed up big on a job. He took me to one side and said, "At the end of this year are you going to look back and say that was the job that ruined me? If the answer to that is no then you've just simply got to grin and bear it - get on with it, do whatever it takes to sort it out, leave everyone as happy as possible and move on."
