Hear hear!! 99% of the vids are on new components with beautiful 360 access, while in real world, on some of the jobs you carry a foldable bucket just in case you have to puke.
If I had a medal I'd hand it to you. The dirt around where you were working in that bathroom. The more of these jobs you do on YT, the more these jobs will find you. x
Nice one, again, Luke. Way, way, way back, did something similar with changing an old bath, from the 70s', lead piping on the 22s', replaced them with copper, isolators added, first time facing one, the bath wouldn't come out. Had an iron mallet to help knock it off the wall to no avail, then the mallet dropped and split the bath. That was my saving grace, had to take it out in pieces. 🤨 👍👍👍
Love your vids bro, really wish i didnt drop out of my apprenticeship when i was a teenager, would love the work now, back then it never made any sense lol 😂
Brilliant job Luke tough one for sure. Perseverance that’s the key to plumbing. Honestly it must be the only job where the rules are flung out the window and you have to think so quick on your feet. Well done superb video. Now I know what to do if I get a job like that.
I think you did a good job considering what you were up against not much copper wastes about any more but i have seen lead wastes now and again thank goodness for plastic
Done the job, think I would have changed the stack though, your allowed to cut asbestos cement damp it down as you cut, double bag it and seal, you can get asbestos company’s to pick it up from the door step for not too much, done it a few times, just use one of the rubber 100mm couplers with the big jubilee clips to get you back onto plastic.
I would get asbestos removal in if he wanted new stack to be honest, I don’t mind taking it out in full piece but never really fancied having a go at cutting 👍
Ah the Joy of working alone mate. I been using Plumbers mate on Waste install, i trust it and it works and if i have any left over i make a plasticine man to throw at the wall yes i am immature. love watching your work, it reminds why Plumbing is a Love Hate relationship
What a shit state of affairs that was!! I've seen silicone in place of just about everything (I only do DIY, family and free work for some old people on a local social app where I am) so putting it where it's needed is absolutely nothing to be upset about!! Another great one Luke and it's great to see people that enjoy the stuff that's not every day work 🎉🎉
Ooohhhh I love a good old cast iron bath …. NOT!!! I’d have gone for on of the hybrid adhesives that you can use in wet conditions as it tends to create a good seal and you can quickly test it for leaks after! Perfectly understand why sealant is used in this situation so your forgiven haha! Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do! And enjoy a beer after it’s all done 👍
That whole job was my life for many years working on old council blocks. Always had to cut everything off and im talkin pre the invention of the multi tool 🤦🏼♂️😂😂 i think terrain still make a 32&40mm solvent to male iron plastic coupling which would have been handy
You found a right little beauty there mate but fair play for just doing what you gotta do.....I haven't come across copper waste since i did my own bathroom thank f#'k 🤣
@@bluebulldog_ukI am very excited upcoming plumber and watching your videos and many others has made this so much easier for me. Thank you for all the content ❤
What happens with those bosses on the asbestos is over time the asbestos much like chipboard and water does they start to swell up and then you lose the integrity of it & then you're looking at a new stack! The waste pipes are normally 1" not 1¼ and it seems that's the size they always used . It's the same here in Brighton . If I showed you some of the bosses and hiw they were fitted to stacks you'd be shocked. Loads are around where I live housing estates built in the late 50' and mid sixties everything was asbestos! Much like you where you had to use ptfe to make like a cone of sorts to seal the waste into the stack. I've used an O ring before and I was surprised it actually worked !! That leak on the stack all you can really do is use something like CT1 or similar where you can apply it with water present will probably be the best you can do! Like I mentioned before to you use a deep seal trap or a viva waterless trap so the toilet doesn't suck out the seal on it!! Overall you did a tidy job! Remember the wastes are made in with Red Lead ! Heat them up with a blow lamp the cast iron will absorb the heat anyways and that nut should come undone alot easier . Only thing you have tk be careful of is tapping the waste fitting back up into the bath as sometimes it pulls the enamel off and chips 🙈 The Americans use a recip through the waste fitting from the top, cut the grating out with a multi tool and then cut through the waste in 2 slots and voila out it comes! I had to do alot of this as an apprentice in the 70's . What can catch out is the waste fitting can be 1¼ so the waste hole in the bath is smaller therefore then the 1½ waste fitting won't fit ! So you had a bit of luck 👍 You'll find as you come across more they're nearly all 1" waste and adaptive traps ends which fit the waste but are 1¼ on the other end of the trap which screw onto the bath waste. Moving forward I would just say it needs ripping out as it will come back and bite you in the arse so to speak! Oh yeah STOP using knuckle bends on waste .😅 Especially baths as they clop up with hair super quick and then you can't rod them , thats why I always use large radius swept bends 👍 Keep up the great work, I like watching your stuff as you do the job properly unlike some of the other tubers on here! If you ever want any advice on the older stuff that you come across just holler ok 👍
@@bluebulldog_uk no worries . It's only that I've come across similar over the years. Think yourself lucky you haven't come across nuralite soil stacks that's another level stuff or even galvanised prefabed soil stacks . Mostly used in blocks of flats , they all rust as you can imagine and an absolute nightmare! You seem like me that gets all the jobs that no one else wants 🤣
@@bluebulldog_uk haha yeah that goes for anything we do really. Tried everything and nothing and the result is the same, water where you don't want it. You're right though it's a pig if it leaks
Dude... plumbing in england looks so crazy. I'm a remodeler from switzerland aswell and i really love to see how you work over there! The old istallation wouldn't be allowed in switzerland 😂 And as for the silicone i just closed my eyes for a sec. =D Good work mate!
Thought so I’m of the wood iv seen u bout bro I was joking on my other comment sayin it was our plumber now I know ur from Walsall it was definitely our plumber lmao

What I like about that job is the lovely scrap coming out
Half of it fell apart thou 😂😂👍
A bloody museum that place. I thought 80s work looked old. Dad's Arny would recognise that lot 😅
Waste pipe across the ceiling, in full view? lovely 😂
I know…never seen anything like it before to be honest
I love your spirit, never let a job beat you 👍
Real world plumbing at last, not no easy rad or sink installation, well done to ya mate
Hear hear!! 99% of the vids are on new components with beautiful 360 access, while in real world, on some of the jobs you carry a foldable bucket just in case you have to puke.
Thanks mate much appreciated 👌👍👍
I can relate to the bucket just in case 😂😂👍
If I had a medal I'd hand it to you. The dirt around where you were working in that bathroom. The more of these jobs you do on YT, the more these jobs will find you. x
I need to stop filming these jobs your right 😂👍👍
Nice work, well done for taking it on and knocking it out
Thanks mate 👍
Great to see you did the job Luke and you did not walk away from it take care.
Thanks mate much appreciated 👊👍

That’s sounds like a nightmare job mate 🫣😅👍
Wow you do get some good jobs 😂 love your videos and that you are always open and honest.
Hope this channel brings you plenty of work.
Thanks mate appreciate the support 👍
Love your vids bro, really wish i didnt drop out of my apprenticeship when i was a teenager, would love the work now, back then it never made any sense lol 😂
Enjoyed that video it was certainly an unusual set up but credit to you for not walking away from it.
Thanks mate 👌👍
You're best video, or at least the one I enjoyed the most, great work and you've great determination to do what others wouldn't tackle, top man
Love it mate 👊👍 thanks, much appreciated glad you enjoyed it
Swag 💰
By the look of things I don't think the bath will be used much. Great work.
Class job Luke👌 can see why the other guy legged it😂 Polish up that brass s trap as a souvenir 😊
Mate it’s in my van ready to be cleaned, I’ve still got the trap from the other cast iron I took out 😂😂👍
Brilliant job Luke tough one for sure. Perseverance that’s the key to plumbing. Honestly it must be the only job where the rules are flung out the window and you have to think so quick on your feet. Well done superb video. Now I know what to do if I get a job like that.
Thanks mate, yeah your right mate, gotta think on your feet in this job 👍👍
I really admire you plumbers..why is it that not yourself but OTHERS use waste pipe under sized
Top work that mate, considering what you had to work with, most plumbers would have run a mile.
Thanks mate 👍 I think running a mile sounded the better option when I dropped the pipe 😅😅😂
Nice work Luke, another cracking honest video, cheers 👍
Thanks mate much appreciated 👍
I think you did a good job considering what you were up against not much copper wastes about any more but i have seen lead wastes now and again thank goodness for plastic
I seem to find all the copper, lead and asbestos wastes for some reason 😅 yep plastic 100% easier than the old stuffn
You’re a lot braver than me mate, I would have walked in and walked back out looking at that 😂 why’s it hanging on the ceiling. Top work fella
😂😂thanks mate 👍
First class job
Thanks mate
Looks like a serial killers bathroom...filth everywhere....you sorted it great job
CT1 can be used in wet if not under pressure cures over night remains flexible
@@billpalmer2381 Epoxy putty goes off in 10 minutes and then you can run as much water as you like through the asbestos pipework.
Got a stick on van now for next one…hopefully not too soon 😅😅
Another top quality vid, you do a great job!
Thanks mate much appreciated 👊👍
Another great video
Thanks mate 👍👍

Awesome stuff that buddy. Loving the channel. I learn quite a bit from you buddy, so thank you 👍🏻
Good to hear mate, glad it’s helping 👌👍👍
Goooooo onnnnn luke. Needs must mate! You gotta do what you gotta do. At least the waste wasnt boxed in ay?!
That’s true…had someone message thou to say they have leak on stack…tiled and boxed in…better dust off my cape 😅😅👍
Ah the Joy of working alone mate.
I been using Plumbers mate on Waste install, i trust it and it works and if i have any left over i make a plasticine man to throw at the wall
yes i am immature.
love watching your work, it reminds why Plumbing is a Love Hate relationship
Just of the imagine of the plasticine man squashed on a wall now 😂😂👍
What a shit state of affairs that was!!
I've seen silicone in place of just about everything (I only do DIY, family and free work for some old people on a local social app where I am) so putting it where it's needed is absolutely nothing to be upset about!!
Another great one Luke and it's great to see people that enjoy the stuff that's not every day work 🎉🎉

Nice job but glad I got it sorted for him 👍

State of that bathroom! Great job, but if CT1 on the on that leaking joint might do it
Yeah mate I’ve got a tube in van now just in case 👍👍
Them nice jobs sure do find you Mate 😂
😎👍🤜
Love it me mate 😂👍
Wat a pain in the backside😂😂😂 top job Luke❤

Yeah mate just do anything to get this sorted for the customer! Wasn’t sure how it would go but happy with the outcome 👍
Well done. How can u get a good fixing for the clips on that ceiling. Thanks
Fisher self drill plasterboard fixings 👍
Great video and well done, not an easy job.
Any idea why the copper pipe corroded ?
No idea to be honest mate, gotta be something thou
That whole job was my life for many years working on old council blocks. Always had to cut everything off and im talkin pre the invention of the multi tool 🤦🏼♂️😂😂 i think terrain still make a 32&40mm solvent to male iron plastic coupling which would have been handy
Mate I don’t know where I would be without my multitool now! By far best tool invented 👌👍👍
@@bluebulldog_uk totally agree, ive many jobs with a thick glove and a hacksaw blade…..basically the caveman version of a multitool😂😂
use fernco coupling on stack stub then reducer don't over tighten CT1i inside fitting to stack had to do 1 in tower block got me out of trouble
Great advice thanks mate 👍👍
I can see why the other guy blocked their number, well done m8 , good job
Thanks mate 👍👍
Silicone 👀👀👀 Bet the customer is well happy! A lesser engineer would have demanded a new stack!
I know with the silicone but exceptional circumstances 😂😂
Old basins and baths use plumbers mait on the top and silicone underneath
👌👍👍
You found a right little beauty there mate but fair play for just doing what you gotta do.....I haven't come across copper waste since i did my own bathroom thank f#'k 🤣
Copper waste has a way of finding my number 😂😂👍👍
To this day I haven’t come across stuff like that!!
Avoid if you can 😅😅😅
Yup.......I would be one of those plumbers that walked or run from that job! You must love a challenge?! 😂
I do to be fair mate 😂👍
Fantastic job buddy. How do I win the 10k giveaway?
Check out tomorrows video mate 5:30pm 👍👍

You seem like me that gets all the jobs that no one else wants 🤣
Looks mint 😂😂😂😂 hang the coats on there 😂😂😂
Very versatile 😅😂
The bath leg wasnt touching the floor😮
I know 🫣😂 must of been like that since day 1
Wtf, never seen or come across waste pipe work running across a living room ceiling 🤦🏻♂️
First for me as well 😅
My number 1 rule is never don't use silicone on a basin or bath waste, I don't see it not leaking otherwise
Long as it don’t leak 👍
@@bluebulldog_uk haha yeah that goes for anything we do really. Tried everything and nothing and the result is the same, water where you don't want it. You're right though it's a pig if it leaks
Through that multi tool in bin angle grinder the multi tool bits sound wood plastic metal garbage
Was yhe far bath leg off the floor??
Yes…don’t know why gotta of been like it from day 1
Good job mate. Sorry for my dreadful spelling!
Dude... plumbing in england looks so crazy. I'm a remodeler from switzerland aswell and i really love to see how you work over there!
The old istallation wouldn't be allowed in switzerland 😂
And as for the silicone i just closed my eyes for a sec. =D
Good work mate!
I feel for the person living there.
He’s a great bloke, worked for him for a few years now 👍
It’s better than the phone not ringing buddy
Very true
How do I enter the give away pap
It will be on next video mate 👍
Is this a ship or a house lol?
😅
How come you didnt take them both outside? He didnt want a new stack?
No mate he just wanted a repair 👍

No idea mate first for me on this one
You need to wear a disguise on your videos,stop these awkward jobs finding you lol
