Experience says not to put a screw in any floorboard without lifting and removing each board first. You could have hit numerous pipes in this video, highly inexperienced looking at the whole video and just blind screwing. I would have been hung, drawn and quartered if I attempted to do that infront of any of the time served joiners that taught me. Take the boards up, check what’s there, map it out, then refix. Assumption is the mother of f^^kups I was always told. P.s I’ve never hit a pipe in the floor due to this method of lifting first then refixing. Get an awkward client, hit a water pipe, ruin the downstairs, can’t find or shut off the stop tap, leaving your self wide open to a claim and an unpaid day / bill from yourself. Always always take the boards up, chipboard or old school t and g and check before you ever put one screw or nail in. Charge them for the time spent and experience to know the consequences and you won’t go wrong 👍👍
that is a true story mate, they did use to use bread back in the day however now in modern-day times it's not really a good idea as when the bread breaks down it's just going to float around in the system and could possibly block something, very unlikely but it's just better to try and suck the pipes empty now and not contaminate the water
Nice work fella 😊 Need more trades that care as much as you. Good learning experience for the new guy, you are teaching the next generation the right way to approach a job 👍🏻
Shows anyone can make a mistake. Great showing it and how you fixed it. I guess the press fit joints have a major advantage when you still have water in the pipe
Definitely mate, press fit are amazing for troubles like this one but you pay the privilege for that, rems at the cheap end 2nd hand just guns alone are £800 with no no box no batteries & jaws are like £60 used and new are like £90 😭 you can see why the proper plumbers want big money now hey 🤣
Only my personal opinion, each to their own I’d rather know my copper pipe work is going to be fine for years to come, the push range is very good but I just don’t want to hear in 20 years time a fitting has failed, I would however love to get my own press gun and get into the M press fittings so I don’t need all the hot works tickets and I don’t have the stress of water in the pipes
I have done this before. The second time drilling through concrete to put a carpet trim down and there was gas and water pipes that had been put in really shallow. I went through the water first, called an emergency plumber, had to dig around the concrete to get to the pipe and he damaged the gas pipe with the breaker and charged us for his cock up. I don't drill anywhere now without using a pipe and cable detector
I Feel Your Pain Buddy, I hope this video highlights to others, that we shouldn't get complacent because we think we have years of experience, these small mistakes can catch any of us out

I've heard plumbers used to push dry bread in the pipes, absorbing and holding the water back until the joint is made

why are you not using push on fittings plus have you put down that you do hot soldering on you insurance ?

“We” did the second landing….. your mrs/assistant/accountant and Luke!! Did we hit water… not a chance I’m a pro 😂
