I've seen people in the business for over 20 years doing dodge stuff for all those years. Hats off to you. Nice to see a proper plumber in action.
Thanks for the support as always mate, I like to get stuck in and get the job done
Good video. thanks. Great clever plumber, well done. Peace be unto you.
Thanks for the support Martin

Great work my brother like always
Thanks for the support as always mate
Great video as always Tom,I've been in the game nearly 25 years and I find you never stop learning, you have excellent knowledge for your years
Thanks for the support mate, I think that's one reason why I love this job so much, every day is a school day, you never stop learning
Exellent job sir
Thanks for the support as always
Another great vid mate, gotta love a Worcester 👹👍
They are a bit like marmite, some people love them and some people hate them, I put one it at my dads house in 2008, it's only had a set of electrodes and a bearing plate in all them years, to be honest its more to do with water quality sometimes than the actual boiler itself, thanks for watching as always
Another good video Tom. You get a wide variety of work. Keep up the good work 👏
Thanks for the support as always mate 👍
Nice work lad’s you’ve got a good teacher in Tom 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, I do my best to keep bringing the apprentices through
Nice Variety today Tom,
That’s a nice way of purging the underfloor heating circuits,
👍👍🤜
Thanks for the support as always Tony, I like doing it this way, it seems to get the air out well and it's easy to dose with inhibitor, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Great video m8t the crap you find under sone floors but it’s good for your apprentice to see these things if he comes across them ever again he will have your knowledge with him good man 👍
Thanks for the support mate, I do like to keep bringing the apprentice's through, Jacob's been with me over a year now, he moved from another plumbing company and he is a great help
Nice one Tom , I'm still here watching and thumbing all your vids but been taking a break from leaving comments on yours and every other plumbing vid i watch... 👍
Cheers
Thanks for the support as always mate, it is greatly appreciated
👍 well done.
Thanks for the support as always Colin
Another good one Tom, not missed one 👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always Shaun, it is greatly appreciated
Hi Tom, a nice fix on the underfloor pipe, well done to the lads for finding it.
Another interesting film there thank you Tom.
Have a great week and as always, take care, 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, it was nice to get a good result on that job, leaks aren't always the easiest to find, they did an excellent job finding this one , thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Unbelievable! Great video matey.
Thanks for the support as always mate 👍
A very interesting selection of jobs; can scarcely believe the underfloor heating bodge!
A pretty neat flushing system you’ve devised there, by the way!
Thanks for the support as always Steve, It amazed me how that fitting ever held water, I like using my transfer pump, it saves running hoses everywhere
Another great vid mate. A fairly easy fix in the end, I was half expecting you taking half the kitchen floor up trying to find it. 👍
It could have been a nightmare this one, the guys did a great job finding it, I had the easy bit really, thanks for watching as always
Some fiddly jobs Tom, keep you on your toes I guess, hope alls well, take care 👍🚽
Thanks for the support as always Peter 👍
Another great video top man
Thanks for the support as always mate
I'm impressed they got that fitting on there in the first place!
Uponor is good stuff my whole house is plumbed with it. I've used the compression fittings before to bring some stabs out good quality kit.
Funny story my first ever mistake plumbing before I even started college was in my own house didn't even know mlcp existed chopped into the main cold feed on a Saturday afternoon thinking it was speedfit and came a cropper.😬
Managed to get a couple delivered Sunday lunchtime from Amazon thankfully and got the water back on. Learned a lot that day. 😂
It can catch you out, to be honest it can be hard to tell and does look like speed fit pipe when installed, uponor is the proper stuff, I think this was a cheaper product but it is all the same size, thanks for watching as always mate
A. It's 15mm fitting on 16mm pipe!
B. That speed fit isolation valve was only designed for NON heating applications.
It was an impressive bodge, other than being the wrong size and the wrong application everything was perfect, thanks for watching as always mate
Your knowledge is impressive tom.....would definitely be using you if you was around Nottingham .....top work as always 👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Karl, it is greatly appreciated
Looks like someone's put a screw through it previous and theyve put a isolated on to fix hole ....bet that's why it had a patch in chipboard already ....
I think you might be right mate, I guess the pipe had been damaged before and then fixed poorly, it had been leaking for some time, the pressure seems to be holding now so I just hope there are no more buried in the floor anywhere, thanks for watching as always
Tom is the man!
Thanks for the support as always mate
Thank you Tom. Just a small comment, no joint compound on gas fitting, the trainee should know about it.
You're incorrect.
Great video mate
Thanks for the support as always mate
excellent demonstration of fault finding. I've not watched any of your videos before. no pun intended but i think I'll rinse the rest of them.
any chance you could get a gopro chest mount / head mount. I''d make for steadier watching and make it far easier for you to show the skills better.. good stuff, more please
Thanks for the support mate, I defiantly need to improve my camera work, I did buy a head mount for my go pro but I rarely use it, I think it probably would help make the videos more interesting if the viewer could see more, thanks for watching
I’ve been a plumbing and heating engineer for 20 years and I’ve got to say I highly rate you👌👌 you get some proper interesting jobs (and some nightmares as we all do🙄😂😂) commercial is something I’ve always wanted to do but don’t know anyone to learn off🤷♂️ keep it up mate great channel💪🤘🤘
Thanks for the support mate, I really do enjoy my job, most of the time, it is interesting to different stuff, it does keep you thinking, thanks for watching
I totally agree with you. He's not too bad for a young gun. Very switched on.
I love this channel
Thanks for the support as always mate, glad you enjoyed the content 👍
👌
Thanks for the support as always Alex
How did they get that valve on 😂😂 . Them push fit valves are garbage on hot and cold never mind central heating. Nice find by the guys tracking the leak 😉
I think they must have shaved the pipe down to get it on, I tried myself just out of interest and there's no way a speedfit fitting comes close to fitting, it was a good find to be fair, I have used them a few times when leaks aren't obvious, it saves me time and they guarantee to find it, thanks for watching as always mate
Applause applause applause.😀👍
Thanks for the support as always Norman 👍
Awesome thanks for your efforts and sharing your experience with us 😊
Thanks for the support as always Jock
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for the support as always Wayne
@@PlumbLikeTom Great honest content again Buddy 🤘🤓🤘
A 15mm pushfit isolator on a 16mm pipe 😂. I’ve seen it all now. 😂😂😂
It was a good one, you do see some bodges around here, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
Tom great video learning loads thanks. Quick question what make/model is the transfer pump? Is it specific to water?
Thanks for watching mate, the pump I use is a machine mart Clarke spe1200, this pump will only pump clean water, I have a different one that I use for dirty water and oil. To be honest it's a great bit of kit for the price, I am considering adapting something to make it in to a power flush machine, the pump itself is way more powerful than the one that's inside my very expensive flushing machine and this could easily be adapted to make a perfect flushing machine for a really low cost, thanks for watching as always
I'll be honest Tom, I struggled like hell getting that JG fitting on 🙂
It was impressive in its own way, it was probably harder then doing it right, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
No 1 go on tom
Thanks for the support as always mate
That iso valve on the underfloor heating is wrong and confusing for so many reasons
It certainly was a bodge, thanks for watching mate
