nice to see a real professional at work. You deserve a customer for life
Hi PB, I got sacked after 28years at British Gas. Started at 16 years old. Not as much as a thanks for your service. They’ve even taken back my old work boots, not forgetting to mention some tools I’ve looked after since I started. They will all end up in a skip. Totally spiteful behaviour. Looking forward to a new chapter in life working for myself. Thanks for your motivation!
There's a reason you got fired though... lol
@@ryanallen3704 yeah because I won’t be bullied into signing a shite contract... 28 years in the same job or not
Best thing that could happen to you mate,go make money for yourself and enjoy your time being your own boss!!
@@jacku5701 thanks bud 👍🏻
Good luck mate.
Great to see another video, we haven't lost you to the gym yet
Well...I'm a self employed gas engineer (2 years and counting 😬🤞) and I was going to put my name down as the potential new owner for that thorough flush. But honestly, after reading these comments and hearing about how some of you lads have been treated after all the hard work you've put in through your careers, i don't feel like it would be going to the right guy! So instead I just want to say keep strong and good luck to all you engineers out there just trying to make a honest living 💪
love how you organize all your kit such a joy
Interesting upload! Truly well deserved reaction from the client,well done 👌
Great video, loved the boiler diagnosis was very interesting :) 👍
Almost been plumbing a year and learning every day love the videos keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks pb
Another wonderful video, I can’t thank you enough
Mate all ready looking forward to the next one
Your knowledge and skill doing jobs is just absolutely fantastic well done.👍👍👍
Very tidy job. This is what separates you from the rest. 👍🇬🇧👌
Another respectful jobs showing that you are thinking of the customer at all times wether it be a home. Rented accommodation or even a church. Well done and another great video
That thorough flush kit would a huge help on the job, thank you for taking the time to teach on the job 👍🏽
Excellent job loved the church job very different to what you do normally
Lovely job there. Nice to get a wee variety of jobs. Brilliant feeling when the job goes well and the customer is happy with the end result.
Another great video mate, can't beat that sense of satisfaction when you're able to fix a problem properly rather than just swapping the boiler out 👌🏽
Love the videos
I tell my apprentices to watch your videos to get a different out look on plumbing inside the job they don’t get everything when working well done
Hi PB, love your videos and inspiration, I went on my own at the start of lockdown and still building my kit up, this thoroflush looks wicked.
Love your work and would love the thorough flush, keep up the stunning work. Regards mark from mjk plumbing and heating ( one man band).
Just gone self employed would love the kit watch your video all the time would love it great bit of kit
Great work figuring out that blocked boiler solution, and excellent install at the church. Im in New England in the States, working HVAC. I really enjoy your channel and learning how it’s done over there is great fun.
Great video as usual PB... Been plumbing for a couple of years now and starting my gas next month so really enjoying the boiler videos especially the fault finding stuff. The thoroughflush would be a great addition to the van too so would be great to put my name in the hat for that one! Stay safe!
It's not always about the money ! I always look at the bigger picture like yourself, gained lots of customers by putting in the extra effort to solve problems. Some jobs I've made no money on, but gained a customer for life, well done !
Brilliant video again! Thorough flush would be ideal for my business, defiantly getting one 👌, stand out from the rest and give the best service 👍👍
Love to see time spent diagnosing, another great example by Big Poppa Pump (steady it's a 90's wrestling reference).
Great gesture from you backing us engineers fired by BG PB, really appreciate your support these past 9 months, it's the ones who couldn't leave I feel sorry for now.
Glad your videos are back, Keep 'em coming if you can.
Quality effort diagnosing that L1, mate. Hadn't thought of doing that with the thermistors before. Good wee hack that. Cheers 👊
Excellent job in the church.
Quality work PB. 👏
Hey Pete I’m planning my escape from BG the TF would be an ideal addition to my tool box thanks for the opportunity and support 👏🏼
Absolute Pro honest guy well done 👏👏👏
Hi pb I’m just building up my clientele to eventually make the jump to self employed, love the way you explain things, make it so simple and easy to understand 👌🏻
From a fellow plumber I like watching your videos a trying to work out the problems as you do especially as being let go from my job due to covid now trying to work for myself keep up the good work mate 👍🏼
Hi PB, really interesting job at the church, would love to see a lot more of the the tight old fit who taught you so much throughout your carrier 👍
Keep up the good work mate.
Great idea 💡with connecting hep up to ascertain if it was system or boiler blockage mate, 100% use that in the future. Great video
Excellent work, PB.
Ex- british gas, just going on my own mate and would absolutely appreciate the flushing kit!! You've give me massive inspiration to finally go out on my own, so excited!
I would love the thorough flush kit! I’m still trying to get my head around what adaptors and any parts I would need as I don’t usually work with these fittings. I’ve been interested in the kit ever since I’ve seen it in your videos.
Even if I don’t get it I hope you keep doing these videos PB, they’re priceless for newcomers in our industry and the UK is better off because of what you do 👍🏼
You’ve been super helpful to the self employed who haven’t gone through a domestic plumbing/gas apprenticeship
Top man love the videos. Very instructive👍
Another informative video, please keep them coming. I am fairly new to the industry and learning a lot especially liked the thought process on the fault finding on the boiler.Would like to be considered for the thorough flush unit.
Love your videos mate and look forward to them every week,just left British Gas after 13 years service as a tech engineer and have set up on my own,not something I ever thought would happen but onwards and upwards!I've got a magna cleanse but would love that thorough flush 💯 👍
Hi Pete! I’ve just given in my notice at work to go out by myself so the kit would be brilliant for me! Not been in the gas game for too long so still building up my tools 👍
Interesting vid, used to love the out of the ordinary jobs , hope your staying safe 👍
Hi PB, I was going to set up on my own start of January but I caught covid and have been off work with long covid since. Catching covid has been life changing for me, from a confident plumber to a not so confident one now, as it has affected me mentally.
A thorough flush kit would cheer me up greatly and help me once I get back on my feet again!
Love the channel, cheers B 👍
Hi PB ex BG starting up on own, love a mains flush does the job spot on, #keepingstandards keep.up the good work pal 👍🏻
Just started on my own! The thorough flush would be a big help! Love the vids
Love seeing this sort of diagnostics, too many engineers throw stuff at a boiler without really knowing why. After seeing this would love to get a ThoroughFlush to be able to do the same if the need arised in the future.
Another great video PB.
I'd love the thoroughflush - fired by BG last week as I refused to sign the new contract. Was there 17 years. Been looking at the thoroughflush since your first video on it last year but never needed one - until now!! 👌
Been watching your videos for While now and after seeing the high quality of workmanship that you do has made me want to become a better engineer , I’ve recently got my own ticket and currently building up my tools and doing any job I can to save up to get a proper van.
The thoroughflush would be a great piece of kit to help me get on my way 👍🏻 keep up the good work.
Great video PB, ex BG engineer here lost my job to the fire and rehire scandal. Just set up my own company been trading 2 months no flush machine yet so the thorough flush would help me out. ✌🏻
Hi PB been watching your videos for few months ( keep it going learning lots ) my son just started up as self employed engineer the power flush would be great asset, as mine packed up few months ago.
Great to see the church video something unique enjoyable result aswell. Also loving pokemon cards hidden in the corner subtle hidden details keep up the good work 💪
I'm a self employed gas engineer. Work on my own most of the time. The thorough flush kit looks great and easy to use. Been interested in getting one myself. Easy to set up compared to a powerflushing machine 👍. Great video as always
Yes PB.
I’m starting out as a self employed gas engineer after working for British Gas. That thorough flush kit would come in handy to help with installs!
Been watching your vids for ages! And You are an inspiration to the younger generation like myself. Also a top guy and had time for a chat with me at Phex (Stamford bridge).
Keep uploading pal!
Great video very informative thank you
Really enjoyed church, i have fitted drugasar heaters 10-14kw before higher output.
But i like the your idea nice and neat.👍
Mint video this one lad love seeing unusual jobs like these!
Great post and top work as always, visually evident back gym training mate
Hello!
I would love the flush kit! 49 year old plumber, 30 years in the trade and finally saved enough money to do the gas training. Will be starting that next month so hopefully once I am registered I can finally start working on boiler etc on my own.
Keep up the good work love the videos!! Thanks 😊
Hi pb, got made redundant because of the pandemic as i finished my apprenticeship so I became self employed and had to fork out for all tools myself, you can guarantee this will be a massive help to me!
Obviously PB you make a a difference in the plumbing world whether you have some freebees or you teach people via social media your own skills. Unfortunately, it’s shocking that not many people are happy to buy you a cuppa as this would simply show the appreciation as well as some respect to you. Anyway, I would be happy to be an owner of such a flush kit as I started out my own journey and I would like to make a difference in my community as well as area. East London isn’t known for good workmanship nor skilled people so I would be happy if I could be the one who is changing the plumbing scene and try to pull some people up and teach them the right way of plumbing. Again, a top notch video as well as the rewarding blockage clearance! Absolutely amazing how far you got to make people happy or even to gain new customers!! Thanks for showing that
Hi PB I’ve been watching intently for a while now and I can honestly say I’ve learnt so much. I’ve been with BG for 11 years as a service and repair engineer. I’ve now got a deeper understanding of the install and domestic plumbing side of things thanks to you. I’m now starting as a one man band as I need some positivity back in my work. I would love to give the thoroughflush a go and use it in my day to day. Either way just thought I’d say thanks for all the information without this channel I think I’d have been too scared to go. #StickItToTheMan
Would love to get the flush unit as it was you that got me involved with using the magna cleanse by watching all your videos. It’s been good watching you and my pipe bending skills are improving still not in your class but hay. Iv been self employed for 10 years and a couple years back lost a lot of work as was off due to cancer but and then all this Covid and still struggling to get back to where I was and that kit looks great and can think of loads of jobs that would have benefited from that kit so would like and help and this equipment would be great. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Great as usual PB, I've just bought the same flush unit, whoever wins it will love it. But if you fancy giving a press tool away I'll enter that.
All that copper scrap - luvly jubbly! Hope you got the lead off the roof too. :-)
Would love the thorough flush after being made redundant last year, just starting out. Saving for a magnaclean as well. 👍 your videos help a lot keep up the good work !
Good on you Peter for offering this out to some of the BG lads who stuck to their guns and never signed the new contract. I done 42 years BG through to Cadent. Retired now and Loving it but I love your videos and your thought process in solving the problems your faced with. I still do little bits and pieces and my bending machine looks older than the one you mounted. Keep the videos coming kidder
I’m self employed and would a through flush, keep the videos coming mate. Really enjoying them being back regularly
The thorough flush would be a great bit of kit for me to acquire, I’m just coming to the end of my level 3 advanced apprenticeship and will be looking into starting my own jobs in the near future, great vid as always 👍
Hi PB, just recently started on own after 7 years of working for a firm. The power flush would come in really handy as it would be another service I could offer for life!
Thanks
Hey P.B been looking forward to this video all week. Great content as ever!
I’ve started back on my own after working for a local gas company. Used to have a kamco kit but had to sell it because needed the money. Would love to give the thorough flush a whirl. Cheers chap. Hope the gym is going ok . 💪🏼💪🏼
Recently started out on my own. Would love to have a flushing setup. Been watching your videos for a long time now. Keep it up! Really love the content
Great to see PB Senior getting some extra copper out!!
Loved following the church job on insta.
Hi I’ve just been Sacked by BG after 20 years as an upgrade & service repair engineer & set up on my own called (Jones the gas) I’ve just finished my 1st week & it’s been great 👍🏻 I’ve picked up loads of great hints & tips off yours & other youtube videos. I have a passion for the job & love having the time to do things the way I’d like to. Thorough flush would be really handy on a combi swap 👌🏻
I’d also love the thorough flush! I’m a self employed and do subby work, just starting out and trying to build up my kit. This would be an awesome addition!
Nice find. I feel the same when I get to to bottom of the boilers fault and get it fixed.
Beautiful, beautiful job at the church. The original plumbers who put the system in had it right but it lacked execution. You took it up a notch and improved the efficiency without creating an architectural sh@t show. Good on you. I know the church members are thrilled and will give you a great recommendation for future work. Also, your diagrams are a pleasure to see. Your excellent drawing ability should help you to get future work by showing the client what's what. Again, good on you.
Hi PB. Been a Heating & Plumbing engineer for 6 years. absolutely love the trade and the satisfaction of fixing someones boiler like you’ve just shown. Finally just about to take the plunge into being self employed and starting my own business, winning this packout, will definitely be a good addition to the new van I’ve just bought!! Just to clear things up for other users, I have not been sacked by BG.
Another top vid PB.
After 16 years in the industry i've just taken the leap to go self employed as a one man band!.
The tipping point was after working for a firm for 8 years i slipped a disc between L4 and L5 in January of this year. i had previosly never been off sick so this held me back from work for 2 months. No financial support which made me realise we are just a payroll number in these firms!
Would be a great start to my van winning the thorough flush as i currently don't have a flushing machine.
Keep up the vids, i'm sure it's hard work and very time consuming but your videos are very insightful and we all get something from them.
Another great video, informative, straight with no bullshit. That lady from the Church summed up your quality and dedication. Top work as usual..
Very impressed with MLCP system and the fittings, just watched a video 'French Renovation' his latest video the guy was using similar system and then stumbled on yours, good video, my dad always said if your true and honest you'll never be out of work, that sums you up as well, very best of luck to you.
Hi PB,another great video.Had a similar issue with a worcs ri,other engineers went out and replaced pump and pcb but to no avail and tried to push a new boiler.in the end the plastic elbow on the top of the heat ex was full of crud and just needed to be replaced and a flush out.customer was very happy😀
I would love to win the thorough flush,just started on my own after working for another firm for 5 years and decided to take the plunge.
Either way,keep up the good work and keep smiling😉👍
Hi Pete, Newby just starting out. Hopefully have my gas ticket in just over 3 weeks. Quit my job in working away to spend more time with the Mrs and kids. Slowly building up my tool kit. The thorough flush would be a great addition..... And prevent me from being a cowboy ha ha.
Keep the vids coming 👍
Me and my boss are solo. (I’m an apprentice) and love all of your videos. He’s started bending because of you ! 😂
Thoroughflush would be ideal after a tough year. I stopped working after cancelling my elderly dads carers to shield him. (Carers allowance is a pittance)
Now my dad has had his 2nd jab I can get back to work. The only thing being my refresher gas certification is due, my gas safe registration also, and lucky white heather, I’ve blown the head gasket on my van and now working out of the back of my dads old jalopy. Being skint, it’s hard times equally for me as it is for many.
Anyhoo, I’m sure there are many others deserving a shot at this, but I thought I’d give it a shout regardless. Not having any flushing gear myself, this would be a great bit of kit to have at hand and a well needed wee morale lifting boost to help get back to work with.
Keep up the videos. You inspire a lot of us to up our game!
Great video kind of you to offer the thorough flush to someone who may have lost their job
Another great video PB. I would love the opportunity to win the Thoroughflush, I lost my job last year and now starting out on my own. This kit will be perfect to help me start up and deliver a great service to my increasing customers. Thank you for the opportunity mate.
Hi PB, great solution for the church. I was a British Gas engineer up until Wednesday when after 17 starting as an apprentice I was sacked in the fire and rehire scandal! I am just about to start out doing my own thing 🤞🏼 Just getting some the equipment ready.
Please can I enter your competition.
Keep up the good work 👏
The satisfaction of solving that problem makes it all while
I've just gone self employed. Was a leap in the dark during the pandemic but best thing I've done. Looking at getting a flushing kit currently
I swear by a proper power flush
We use the kamco machine, which I rent, and I bought the kamco magnetic. It’s brilliant
The clients love seeing the dirt in the magnetic!
Top video Pete. Such a great giveaway. I’ve been employed for 13/14 years, and I’m finally taking a step up and going on my own. This would help anyone out that is new to the game as there’s a huge amount of tools to get up together. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Congratulations James you have won the Thoroughflush, please contact me on Instagram.
Good luck with going on your own buddy 💯
Nice one on the boiler blockage, really like the way you explain faulty and your thinking behind them.
I’m currently putting together my portfolio for GasSafe which I’m self funding following redundancy.
Loving what I’m doing
Keep up the You Tube channel 👍🏻
Chris Dale
Smashing video , great tips right there
The fins on the pipe increase the surface area considerably compared to the old large bore plain pipe . Nice job with the skirting radiators 😉
Hey, PB as we’ve chatted before just starting out doing my Gas course leaving the military. Dirty systems seem to be all to common from neglected systems.
Think this would be a great tool from what I’ve seen from your videos and good service that should be offered to all customers.
Pb you legend an Idea for the church would be space heaters.keep up the explanatory videos good job on the Ideal blockage.you work like me just I do more electrical but I'm coming to the plumbing side.
Hi mate I have just started my career as a gas engineer I am a self employed and I would like to have your forward flash kit and I was really impressed of how you did sorted the blockage in that ideal logic I have never seen that anywhere else before I did watch a lot of your videos where I have learnt a lot keep posting them it really helps us beginners to gain our skills to the higher level and become more confident and professional thanks
Great vid as usual PB. 2 years self employed after retraining from a different industry, great timing with covid etc 😂 been saving for a through flush & magnaclense combi for a while now so would be handy to win the through flush to ease the financial blow & I can stop pestering people to borrow theirs. Cheers
Pete I’m a regular follower of all your videos, I’m only apprentice and done a good four years of plumbing and just doing my gas course, I would appreciate the thorough flush as I rekon it would be a asset to me. Also I rekon it would be good to get rid of those air locks in open vent systems 😂 I remember multiple times I’ve tried making something to link the washing machine valve to some rad pipes I’ve tooken off. So Yh would really like to own one
