Called back to a first fix in did tother day, took up tiled floor/ply the previous person who had laid the floor had nailed into a heating pipe, but it had obviously sealed it self..

Showed up on Sunday morning on the kitchen floor drip,drip,drip..:(

Customer was ok about it..:D
 
Fancy laying pipe were the floor fitter requires to install the nails to secure the said floor,I always get the floor layer to mark the floor were all his precision nails have to be fitted then lay my pipes under the floor like a wave,around these points,use about four more bundles (think thats how underfloor heating came about)but hey the floor layer is happy,thats what counts!!!:D

Hi. Let that be a lesson. Always take a few rusty nails with you on these sort of call outs, just in case its a joint. Good Luck
 
And if it's plastic pipe, take a rasp and a few mice droppings to leave lying about!
