What tool bag is that? Cracking vid. We all have that one job that causes the headache, usually on a friday at half 4😂
You tried the ridgid 15/22mm combination pipe slice? Would fit nicely in the front pouch
Should have waited till end of video 😂
😂😂 I should probably just keep the Ridgid 2in1 slice in the front but find I work on 15mm a lot more so it’s easier just to use the dedicated 15mm slice and it’s a bit more of a compact pipe slice 👍
Have one myself that I've never loaded out. Given me some serious tips on that it xan carry...ps the million dollar question is what are you gonna replace it with ???
Glad the video helped mate! It is a good tool bag; hopefully you can kit yours out and make it work for you👍 You’ll find out what the newest addition tool bag is soon; new video coming😉
@justaplumber look forward to the next one thanks
Thank you to everyone that has watched the video, liked and subscribed!
I love seeing a rad being dragged around on brick paving😩
gr8 job, i couldn't see the vent pipe, did you sort it, or it's been sorted out already by someone else?
vent connected to hot outlet
Thanks. The vent connects to the hot outlet at the back of the cylinder and up onto the tanks on the roof
Nicely explained mate, great job.
Thank you, appreciate the comment!

Beautiful work 👏 u are by far the best plumber on your so precise and skilled with your touch I'm curious as to know your back story what age are u are u long in bussiness and how and why u became a plumber mate bcos u definmsde the right choice 😉. I'm an apprentice and love this trade I'm 33 and made a career change from ground works.
Really excellent work very neat and professional I like watching skilled craft men like yourself you are far and few between. Weldone sir. 👏 👏
Thank you very much for your kind words!👍
@@justaplumber realised I sided abit gay there sorry bout that 😆 😂 😆
@@Mickymaxywonder 😂😂 hey I’m not judging, I’ll take the kind words all day long 🙌
Looks like sediment in mains. Possible repair work out on road done. So its clogged up filter on shower and not working, hence why it needs flushed through
Judging by the paste on olives and compression fittings, its very new, so could be new build house flushing through pipework
Pretty much spot on mate, well done👍 Customer had a new external stop tap and water meter installed and as part of carrying out the digging work and external connections, debris entered the customers supply pipe, blocking multiple internal outlets 👍
Boys what are yous on about, thats an electric shower, which is run off the mains so its not coil related.
👍 well done. However I understand why people could think that as from a shorts video it’s hard to get the full picture of the job and the shower could of been tank fed and managed to mix with heating if a coil had failed or something🤷♂️👍
@@justaplumber if your fitting electric showers on tank fed system, your not a plumber lol. Power showers yes, but when you know, you know 😎
Is it connected to the storage tank outlet in the loft ?
No but good guess. This electric shower (like most) is mains water fed👍
Tidy job👍🏼 my fav boiler! Ive fitted a few combi paired with unvented cylinder jobs on large properties and it works well. Maybe the last plumber had the idea that that system with the cylinder left in would be beneficial to them🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for the comment👍 Probably my favourite too at the moment. Easy to fit, reasonably priced and a 10 year warranty💪 I can’t really see how it would of benefited the customer. Customer said they didn’t want it from the start but was pressured into it. No idea what the previous plumber was thinking but seems a bit strange to me to go through all that effort of fitting a combi but not doing the full conversion🤷♂️
@@justaplumber dont forget to register with Ideal installer connect….get points on boilers and filters. I just cashed some of mine in for £500 on a pre paid mastercard👍🏼👊🏼
Ideal boilers are absolute rubbish. Good video though
Thanks for the comment and for watching👍 Why don’t you like Ideal boilers? I’ve never had a problem with them to be honest. Very reasonably priced boiler with a 10 year warranty
That old system is dog shite, don't fit 24's it's fine until a cold winter, there is no money in it to go to a 30. Good days work
The 24 Kw would heat a 500 sq metre uninsulated property- the property here likely needs 6 to 7 KW at - 2°c outside temperature. 24KW is plenty enough for DHW. I assume the heating side has been range rated down to 8 or 9 KW.
@normanboyes4983 nothing to do with central heating my friend, dhw would struggle if you like a hot shower, I know from experience so I don't bother fitting them, there is sod all in the cost of
@@deanmiles8421 Interesting take. Electric showers are around the 10KW mark if 24 KW of gas boiler is not cutting it there is something badly wrong.
@@normanboyes4983 not so, you are forgetting flow vs kW.
@@deanmiles8421 What specifically is not so?

Thats mixed with heating. Have to replace the cylinder
Incorrect but I see why you could think that. Very unlikely a failed coil in a cylinder would be able to mix with a mains water fed electric shower 👍
Coils gone ?
No but good guess. Very unlikely a failed coil would be able to end up mixing with a mains water supply for an electric shower 👍
Love the sense of humour and reference to the plumbing gods 🙂 Subbed
😅👍 Definitely have to speak to the plumbing gods every now and then! Thanks for watching and subscribing!👊
That was not your mistake . It is cheap manufactured faucet
Thanks, I agree 👍
It was smart of you to reduce your anxiety and take a break and not let it get to you. If I were doing the job replacing the faucet, as you call it a tap, on the kitchen sink I would have used a scraper to remove that crust and then some lime away or solvent to clean it up or even some 600 grit sandpaper. The way you left the crud under the faucet the customer will not be able to get to it to clean it.
I thought I did a pretty good job cleaning underneath where the tap sat. It had a nice clean limescale free surface to seal nicely onto the sink. The customer can do the rest of the sink 🤷♂️
Low budget taps made out of shite
Agree with you
The perils of Vicky Plumbing cheap rubish.
73 year old plumber here and been plumbing since I was 16. I would have put a bit of heat on that nut. Just a bit mind. 👍
fair play; that’s a whole lot more experience than me😂🤦♂️ Thank you for all you’ve done for the trade💪
What country is this?
England🏴❤️
Hey, just wanted to say that as an apprentice, I really appreciate the way you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it, it's so helpful - and on top of that you film everything you can. I've learnt so much from watching your videos. Keep it up!
Thanks very much for your comment!🤝 One of the main reasons I wanted to do TH-cam was to promote the plumbing industry and hopefully help new people joining the trade, so I’m glad your watching and learning a few things! Plenty more videos to come as well as giveaways so hopefully you can win some goodies to help you in your career👍

How's things man, just found your channel and having a binge. What do you use to record your videos? Cheers
Thanks for watching! I use a Gopro to record my videos
why do some customers watch? i just tiled a kitchen splashback and for two solid days the customer watched me tile
Haha, who knows; it is a bit strange. If they are just taking an interest in what I am doing/want to learn and ask questions then fine I don't mind but when people just stand behind you awkwardly silent just watching over you, that is annoying!
As soon as the tap broke I would call my wife to say, “ I am running late today”. 😅
😂😂 brilliant! As soon as I said it was going to be a quick in and out job; I knew I had just ruined my whole day!
A plumber should keep a number of spares in the van at all time - several set of flexi-hoses with isolators should be on that list. I mean they cost £5 each so next time splash out £50 and start being more professional. You looks like a bad DIYer when you have to constantly be popping to the shop to buy a pipe or a connector. As for this tap repair - I hate bathroom taps - they are never ever simple and quick and I feel for you and this could happen to anyone. You should have changed that overflow pipe after you saw the clink.
All the parts seem to be so flimsy these days with no real strength to them. Back in the day parts were quality, strong & robust & lasted decades, not so these days. I’m a sixty one year old lady & way back when I left school I longed to be a plumber but in those days no one was willing to give an apprenticeship to a young lady, thank goodness times have changed in those respects. I also wanted to play football & rugby but it was the same unfortunate story there too, only netball & hockey for the girls then. I enjoy your videos & find them relaxing & informative despite the odd mishap from time to time which happen to the best of us 😎👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I agree with you there; seen plenty of 40 year old boilers, toilets etc out there still going strong. Nowadays things aren’t built to last at all unfortunately. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoy!😃
Is not 22m to a bath
Bath taps should have 22mm supplies as they have 3/4” female connections however it’s quite common to find only 15mm feeds like what was seen in the video; therefore all I could do was upgrade the pipe size locally. As long as you have a decent mains incoming water supply pressure and flow, 15mm supplies will be ok
Just think, you went from bad to worse to worser and it only took you less than 5 minutes. I certainly hole you learn left from right handed threads. I realize you are in a different country but even there they make right handed threads.
You can get both types of threads on some things. I’m very well aware of left and right handed threads, nothing to learn there👍
Why didn’t you undo one nut then spin the hole tap
'PromoSM' 💋
Feel your pain mate, and every one thinks our jobs are so easy ,
Best trade but also the hardest in my opinion!💪
Looks like today for me, went to change some cartridges and ended up having to do a whole valve stem job. I know
Every plumber will have many days where the simplest of jobs turn into a headache. Main thing is, we always overcome the obstacle and complete the job for the customer💪
YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY!
Lol
I would have hooked up the supply lines to the valve before I put it in the tub
That wouldn’t be possible as you have to tighten the tap to the bath using the back nuts before you can connect the pipework onto the thread of the taps
First rule of plumbing use two wrenches
You earned your pay today!! 😂
I think I speak for a lot of us plumbers when I say .. “F@cking Baths!!!” 🤣
😂😂 agreed. Baths have got to be the worse; I’ll take a kitchen tap swap all day long over a bath tap!
Only thing worse is urinals
@@Ian-u5q 🤮 the crystals.. 👃
@@Ian-u5q Damn right; urinals are so bad; crystallised urine🤮
Cheap rubbish taps. Invest in some spares. My van is like a mini plumbers merchants
Wait, did you just say ‘a simple bath tap swap…?’ Never heard such a thing… 😂. Yup, had one of these days Friday. Sorry to hear mate, I feel your pain.
😂😂 I cursed myself didn’t I. Simple 10minute tap swap turned into a headache. Always on a day when I’ve already got to much on as well🤦♂️ Thanks for the positive comment and for watching!👍
