- Day in the life of a plumber from a plumber’s Point of view! Yes we are back with the chest cam showing you what it’s like to be a plumber as we change a radiator and replace some valves. See how we do each task with BOTH hands, giving you a better perspective of how jobs go in this day in the life of a plumber
In this weeks episode the customer has got in touch to replace a radiator when there new radiator cover wouldn’t fit, also they wanted a few radiator valves changing. Now this wasn’t without its complications and I will admit it was mainly through me being on auto pilot and not fully thinking the job through but we overcome the problems and get the job done
Hopefully there some information in there that will help you out and any questions just drop them in the comments as always

IS THIS THE VIDEO WHERE WE REACH 10K??
Only you can help me get there with a subscription 🙌👍
What does everyone think of the new camera angle? Let me know in the comments
If I’m honest I think I could of edited the video down a little, one of my longest videos I’ve done 😅😅
Mate I felt your pain on this one. Rads are NEVER straightforward 🤦🏾♂️
Felt like throwing it up garden on the 3rd attempt mate 😂😂👍
some advice for dealing with smoke alarms, try a shower cap, they cover them and will stop them going off as much with just a torch flame, just make sure to take the cap off after though so the customer is protected, and its easier to remember a cap than a to reconnect them, plus most customers can deal with removal alone if you do forget.
Good shout 👍
You had a Bad day at the office on this one mate! Well done for showing how life can be in the real world when you're under pressure to get the job done! 👍😉
Its was a bad day 😅 thanks mate 👍👍
The radiator cover looks like a public bin lololol
Brilliant video showing real life problems. Thanks!
Really appreciate the tip mate thank you 🙌👍👍
Respect to the bulldog!!! How you plumbers work on microbore amazes me you have the patience of a Saint and still somehow made a silk purse out of a sows ear brilliant work pal 👍🏼. K.O.P .Keep on plumbing
Thanks mate 🙌 always appreciate the support 👍
Shocking 😂
Great video Luke, it dont matter how many vids on😂 youtube i watch about changing rads, taps, pipework, yours are the most interesting, even if you make a mistake it shows you are human, well done mate keep them vids coming, love it.
Thanks mate really appreciate the support 🙌👍
I normally put the blue shoe covers over Smokey’s then take them off when finished soldering 😝
Good shout but I bet when I do that, il remember I did halfway home 😂👍
@@bluebulldog_uk wouldn’t be the first time I’ve done it 😂💙
Patience of a saint lol...like the new camera view ...thanks
It was going to be thrown out the door if it didn’t fit the 3rd time 😂 thanks mate
Might have been easier to use telescopic radiator tails.
Would of been but think the gap it had to make up wouldn’t of looked very good
Loving the POV, definitely a game changer
Thanks mate, hopefully more footage coming soon 👍
@@bluebulldog_uk great stuff pal!
It was driving me mad you hadn’t moved the trainers next to the radiator getting dust over them 🤦♂️😂
Great channel keep up with the videos 👊👍
Yep should of moved them 😅😅😅👍
Nearly at 10k mate well done👊🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate…I’m definitely not checking everyday 😅😂😂 was a big milestone when I first started just didn’t think I would get there that quick 👍👍
Those microbore systems were very efficient. I never seen a problem with them in my 19 years plumbing
Had a few block up on systems that haven’t been maintained correctly
Radiator spud wrench is about £8 ...Will fit onto any existing rathet handle...
Respect 🇬🇧
Thanks mate 🙌👍
Top job Luke❤. All fun games😂😂. Decent footage from chest cam❤
Thanks mate 👍👍
Good content as always Mate quality video mate with the new camera 😂
😎👍🤜
Thanks mate 🙌👍👍
Seams a lot of work just to have a radiator cover I wouldn't have bothered 😢
Good video body cam we can see your hands working not working with one hand
I was there doing some other jobs as well so not too bad for them in end
Just fitted two of those rad covers, Hall and landing. Did cut the legs of a bit as they were to high.
I thought the legs was a little high to be fair
Forgot to say I fitted a 450 high radiator and I wanted 100mm between top of radiator and underside of the draw.
I know hardly anything about plumbing, and generally doesn't interest me- But I enjoyed this video 😊
Glad you enjoyed the episode 🙌👍
Nice job . Why didn’t the customer make it right size to fit old rad would have been less hassle lol
Hindsight is a beautiful 😂 I think they just measured rad and forgot about valves
Watching the video I was thinking, I wouldn't it like that, I would do this etc, but 'i can not help but respect the professionalism, not your fault I know but the TRV is useless inside the RAD cover, and it might not make much difference but I was always taught, never cut 10mm with pipe cutters, you reduce the bore to 8mm or less with multiple cuts, but huge respect mate and well done for sorting. No Hate.
Always show it as it is, not my proudest plumbing job having to hang it so many times 😂 yeah the TRV not much help inside cover will agree and a few people have said about the cutter…honestly never gave it a second thought but do like getting feedback on videos about stuff so always helpful, thanks for the comment mate 🙌👍
Telescopic extension rad tails…..£5 in screwfix……will get you out of trouble👍🏼
I did think about it but 100mm extension I thought would look bit rubbish, could of evened it out I suppose
They leak💦
Get yourself a monument 2065 rad valve spanner mate.
I’ve seen them look useful 👍
I thought the camera angle was spot on. I don't know why people cover their rads it defeat the object. Great video though.
Thanks mate, hopefully more to come in future 👍
Sorry meant to say it was an excellent video other than using the pipe slicer sorry for the error.
All good 👍 I’m going to cut some 10mm and have a look myself to be honest cause I’ve just used a pipe slice, I’ve got a debur so could possibly use that with slice
Can you use rapid blue on old radiator when fitting new valves or ptfe? As seen you use ptfe that time.
Old rad new fitting I normally use PTFE as it has to be completely dry and clean for it to set 👍
@bluebulldog_uk Thanks, makes sense. Liking your videos very informative. Also how you stay so calm. 😂
Hi mate, what camera did you use to mount to your chest? And what chest mount? Thinking to start making a few videos myself
Bought it from Amazon, goes around my neck with a magnet on it, can’t remember make
@14:10 Stop it dropping thru. Mole/Vice grips.
Great tip 👍
Nothing wrong with what you've done in the slightest, but In my view this customer did everything in the wrong order. If you're making a custom radiator cover, you don't make a cover first, then try to get a radiator to fit it ! You fit the radiator, then make the cover to fit the radiator. Talk about making your job harder than it needed to be because their approach was illogical.
Yeah I think it was just a mistake by customer but one of them least they got result in end, even though it took me 3 attempts to hang it 😂😂👍
you are having a bad day mate ?????
I was 😅
Can you bend 10mm
You can yeah mini set of benders
🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥👍👍
👊🙌👍👏
Must remember to not expose the address of your client, the letter in the small basket when you were putting the new rad cover on !! 😊just saying
Why do you use a pipe slicer on 10 mm, it makes the inside circumference so small that it is not 10 mm, should use a hacksaw, so you don't reduce the amount of heat that can pass through 10 mm pipework, it reduces the heat load by 20%, plus more chance of blockage in the pipework, this isn't that great video.
I don’t know any plumber that would use a hacksaw to cut copper pipe to be honest
@@cathyoshea3844 why use a hacksaw and risk nicking the pipe causing problems down the line when you can use a 10mm pipe slicer which is why it was invented in the first place 🤣
I do for that reason?.
But that's just me.
If I was a not it all I wouldn't, be watching your video,s...
Great to see other ways of doing jobs.
Thank you.
@@gregbenham5586 if it's great to see other ways of doing the work then don't use negative comments in the first place Greg
@@gregbenham5586honestly I’ve never seen another plumber hacksaw 10mm pipe when installing on heating system, I could be wrong to be fair so something I’m going to look into…always like feedback on my videos as helps people learn and question stuff
