I've been told that British Gas 'At Risk' Vaillants with insulation perished like that. Is that true?.. I dunno.. Not sure if the insulation is any better on the new ones.

how much did you charge for the changeover

Your spot on about Vaillant , the 3 parts you mention have been a problem for the last i5 years ! -- And that's for a boiler that's up there with the most expensive -- iv'e seen the comment about vokera pcb's , but iv,e fit a few over these last 4 years with no problems at all , they are half the price of vaillant , they have a better guarantee + a better tech help; line ! --who's the fool eh !!!

no pubs around you mate, as never herd as much crap

Spillage test anyone?

Would say vokera pcb's are worse

Dont forget boiler AR because insulation coming off front casing door

That warranty is only good if it’s serviced annually by a certified Worster tech right?

You deserve to walk to and from your van fitting a viessmann. Stop fitting boilers that cant work on UK water

surprised you got the baffle out after 5 years,why leave it that long?

Sliding down the roof and hitting that scaffold wondering if it’s going to tip over 😂 Balls of Steele

Don't ever do that again. The money is not worth the risk. I ask the owner to get a quote from a roofer to put the flue in. I will connect it from the inside.

With the logistics of that job and the roof install I would have doubled my price or walked away… 👍

Great video! I’ve got a Fernox power flush machine and have hoses that connect onto a magnacleanse. Works so well on old sludgy systems!

No job is worth risking your life over, never again 😮

Looks ok to me

Whoever rewired that is a terrible job. All that rubber sh under the board and old conduit

Why put in a 30KW boiler for a house with only 2 bathrooms? What a waste.

Dump it

Leaving aside the decision to install a gas hob, why not replace the boiler with one that can run off the existing 15mm gas supply? Are there none available? Granted, adding the hob probably will need an increase in the gas pipe diameter. However, for the sake of educating us humble viewers, lets ignore that for now and explore the choice of bolier choice based upon the existing gas pipework please.

Ben you've said that the fire you've removed took air from the inside room -- it was a balanced flue appliance like the one you fit , they take air from outside not in the room ! -- keep up the good work .. Jim

Yeah you can access in wall tank parts . I literally just replaced the entire guts of a Toto WT 151 this afternoon. New flush valve , new tank overflow flushing mechanism and new braided water line . All with one hand.

Nice job with everything. But seriously did the customer win the lottery or something and has a bunch of extra money they need to dispose of lol. I can’t imagine wanting a gas hob that much that you’d actually have the whole upstairs of your house torn apart and carpet removed just for a stupid gas hob. I think they’ll be very disappointed in the gas hob when they use it. With gas all the heat escapes around the edge of the pots and burns your hand. The fumes also smell terrible and it’s just worse technology in general.

The year is the 3rd and 4th digits. It’s a 2007 model

Good work there. I always try and remove old plumbing if I'm re-piping something, (partly so its less confusing for anybody in the future) but electricians always seem to remove the absolute minimum. I'm always pulling out old cabling to make more room.

They make a warm air system that is powered by a combination boiler so you get the best of both worlds. Minimum fuss and maximum safety.

It boggles me how the original installer gave no regard to maintenance 🙄. Nice job in getting access to it without having to completely destroy the tiles.

I hate these minimalist designs. Yeah, it may look nice and modern, but maintenance will be a pain!

Absolutely no need at all for silicone around waste fittings.

Worked out nicely in tge end. Good job !

Utter nonsense

We believe he cut something

You have blagged over the Ideal report stop waffling

Why is this installation ID explain please 🙏

It’s not end of the world FFS Ideal Engineer was knackered lol Don’t make a drama out of a crisis

I have too many customers wanting cheap, but they’ll just learn the hard way

Those warm air units caused a few deaths back in the day. Lovely job!

I replaced an old warm air system with a new warm air system when we moved into our current house. The new system includes hot water which the old system did not. (got rid of the old immersion heater). We decided that we liked not having pipes and radiators all over the house. It works great, so if you have an old warm air system do not simply assume you have to replace with a wet system, you have a choice. (replacement of the warm air system was cheaper than a wet system retrofit. Another choice someone might consider is skipping straight to a heat pump based air to air system (air conditioning) but that is probably as or more disruptive than shifting to a wet system.

Spraying the ooals makes them look better for a short period of time -- but a proper job is to renew the matrix + the coals , i know thy are costly but , the fire will burn hotter and the result will last longer than a few weeks !

What did you use to comply with boiler plus?

Cracking job and effort to the details. Rough cost of this job pls?

It was like curry’s, we were corgi gas’s fitters that subcontracted to fit their cookers, then they stuck their own staff on a quick course before the rules changed, quick course and they were called gas fitters. I and a few left because they were causing so many gas leaks and we were expected to sort it out and cover for them, I did 2 more years as gas safe then jacked it in as we are expected to re do our tickets but electricians wasn’t, wish I just trained as a sparky 😮😮😮😮

Like how you don't show all your work. I have a few customers who wouldn't think twice about fiddling with their boiler. When I remind them that should anything untoward happen and their property is damaged by their attempted repair, their insurance won't pay out. If you're not gas safe registered, do not attempt to repair a gas appliance.

Why do you say ‘level’ when talking about something vertical - do you mean ‘plumb’…? 🤷‍♂️

Tbf... I think you should of let her put her towels back herself after looking at your shocking attempt of chivalry 😂😂😂.. we'll done mate nice thoughtful engineer

Well done on that job, you want your money going on the roof 😮 I don't do heights

Ps... feel your pain regarding not having your coffee first thing in the morning.... Without it I just won't be in the right frame of mind..😂

Just come across your channel mate and your explanation and content is very good. As a fellow gas safe plumber (35 years plumbing & 14 years gas safe) I enjoy watching the ways other engineers go about their jobs. Once again great upload and I'm definitely looking forward to your content

I blame the immigrants

What happened with the Vokera that shat itself?
