This is by no way or means a dig at handymen or women.. it’s aimed purely at the one that did this in this video, and is a joke ❤😂 #pleaselikeshareandsubscribe
It wasn't me ok. I'm a man but there's nothing handy about me.
@@CommercialGasEngineerVideos 😂😂😂😂
i have no idea why this has just dawned on me, that as a gas engineer myself, for some reason i enjoy watching all of these youtube channels of various people doing the same things i do day in day out... have no idea why... thought id have had enough of it during the day... clearly not 🤣🤣
Haha, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t do the same mate. We are a strange breed haha.
You just like Dan and his pressfit Gun.its nice to see how other people do things you can pick up tips and ideas I love the fold up buckets use them all the time .the jobs so much easier than when I started the power tools etc
@@charliewillis8527 😂😂 the folding bucket is wicked to be fair. I’d have to use a rubble sack if i didn’t have one! Cheers for the support buddy
That’s going to be a difficult floor to sort out. Amazed at the number of customers changing our perfectly good taps when they could easily fit replacement cartridges themselves.
Keeps us in jobs haha. Yeh it is going to be difficult, I advised they put some protection around the pipes and cement it level. Not sure whether that’s the best like.
You done well getting the press head in mate, looked very tight. 😎👍
Was mate to be fair. Only just got it in 🤦🏽♂️
Great video pal,I enjoy tap changes ect ,all different and some easy and some hard to change
Yeh I enjoy the reactive type jobs, normally in and out and paid 😂
This is outrageous. 3 follow throughs on same run of pipe.🙄. Top job Dan❤ handy man needs to go to school. Absolute tool
I couldn’t believe it myself either mate 😂😂 cheers for the support as always mate
I have that Temu wire stripper. It ain’t too bad❤
We’re quiet Aswel corporate company, doing 2 jobs a day at min, max I’ve dine in last month is 4 jobs!
Sometimes you have to suck those services/LLord jobs up. You know shit will hit the fan soon as you think it's quiet, back into breakdowns and new stuff you will battle with. You and Tiff need to do a collab. Proper renovation.
Haha I’d love that, will have to ask him! Yeh I can’t wait for back into breakdowns etc some actual interesting content 😂😂 cheers for the support Russ!
May is a quieter month! Make the most of it 🎉
You’re right, I should be haha!
Great content Dan.....EPH controls are excellent
Cheers mate. Yeh I do like the EpH controls. Very reliable!
I feel you big time. Been on my own 3 years always had plenty of work booked in advance. Struggling to even pay my bills recently, no idea what's going on, or what I'm going to do! Hopefully stuff picks up sharpish, and I hope your work picks up mate.
I was quiet jan and feb….slowly started to pick up again
Glad it’s starting to pick up Tom!
Hope it does for you too Zach! If you can ride it out until Winter I’m sure it’ll all be fine! 🙏🏽
Dan it happens mate.
You’re a great plumber so I’m sure it will pick up pal!!
Cheers mate. Appreciate that. Hopefully you’re right haha
Work wise up here in Stockport is really quiet. Been SE jobbing plumber for 18 years now and never not been busy. This week I’ve got 2 jobs booked in, I normally have 4-6 a day.
Cheers Ian, it seems to be a requiring comment tonight that. :( we are all feeling it! 😞
@@Heatking even the merchants are feeling it. One of the main suppliers to the merchants up here normally does around £12M a month but they are down 35% already
Southampton, mybuilder - single cistern valve replacement. 4 interested within 20 minutes (!)
Same here. Mainly routine and reactive work. Larger projects are in the pipeline. Booked, but being deferred by customers. Both private householders and landlord work. Somehow, things are getting more expensive. I wonder why?
Yeh I wonder why too! Glad it’s not just me mate!
@@Heatking Inflation. I could go into details... it's a long story.
@@loafersheffield haha. I feel you’re on the right lines
‘Scrap’ has gone right up again……copper is over 5 grand a ton! Took in 2 bags of copper and 1 brass not even that heavy and got £170!
It’s times like this I wish I had plenty 😂😂😂
Taps are scrap and brass is great money at the minute 😂
Haha true that mate!
😮😮, another good un Dan.
Cheers Paul
Hope it picksup for you soon Dan i have seen some bad times 1990 -1992 was bad then it picked up
Cheers Charlie! Showing your age there haha! I was only born in 1990!
Great vid! Feel your pain on the work front 😫 and the content running out 😭 same boat!
That middle one was a gem of a job though! The first 2 screws, he’s a donkey, the 3rd I feel bad for him as he probably couldn’t do that again if he tried 😂 surely when you put a board down that you’ve just had up and see 2 pipes running below, you give it a second thought…?!
Haha, he was just having a bad day mate I think 😂,
Yeh work and content is slim on the ground at the minute! Hopefully it’ll improve come winter! Thanks for the comment Richie 🙏🏽
Don't trust a handyman to do plumbing just get a plumber to do the work
True! ♥️
Thanks
Thank you so much Alex!!! Legend! ♥️♥️♥️
@@Heatking you welcome.
Great video and super fun to watch 🤓👌🏼
Gone pretty quiet for me as well unfortunately. Got a few bits booked in but haven’t got a full week next week and I’m usually 2-4 weeks in advance. Bloody hate being quiet!
It seems from the comments there’s quite a few of us in the same boat mate :(
We work on site and for the last three years end of May to middle of June is always quite not sure why
Do you think it’s cause people are saving to go on holidays?
@@Heatking maybe not really thought of that mate
There’s ya problem 9:05 😂😂😂😂 hope work picks up for ya fella
Cheers Matt! I’m sure it will 🙏🏽
hey mate...jobbing plumber here in antrim...dead as last few days
Cheers Dave, it’s a strange time at the minute. Quiestest I’ve known it for years!
Surely that’s some of record for screwing into heating pipe work?
Haha it probably is! Dont think any didn’t miss! 😂😂
Been self employed for 20 years and April and May are always quiet months, think the handyman is going to be seeing your bill😃, out of interest how much do you charge for a tap change I charge £60
I think you’re right there mate with April and May always being quiet! And £70 to replace a tap buddy.
@@Heatking Is it the same for a bathtub taps?
@@5084204 yeh 👍🏼
Another great video mate, I can neither confirm nor deny doing runs to the scrapyard in my last job 😂. How’s the new van?
Hahaha absolutely brilliant comment 😂
Cheers mate, and loving the new van 😍
If it's not the handyman it's the dad especially on a Saturday morning 😩
😂 had one of them this weekend
Great video again, you say basic jobs etc… how much you roughly charging for tap swaps etc and basic repairs
Do you feel like these basic jobs inherit cheaper prices. Your in an out in 30/40 mins
Do you feel like oh it’s a £20/30 pound job as you feel guilty or do you have a minimum charge not matter what the job is
Hi mate, thanks for the comment. I have a flat hourly rate for tap changes, toilet repairs and the likes, and it’s £70
The only time I’d charge £20-£30 would be if I was doing something like topping up the pressure on a regular customers boiler
I think it's just the fact that everything is so expensive
Yeh I think that’s definitely one of
The reasons mate
Dont you just love trying to explain the new stuff to the oldies lol
😂😂 it’s the worst! I’d rather core a flue hole 😂😂😂
Next time you fit a CP4 and you’re not using open therm, pop that black terminal block out and it’ll make life much easier getting cables in especially when it’s tight. 😁
Why didn’t I think of that! 😆😞
Thanks mate, great shout!
Keep up the great videos...i have the todays tools 2 piece tap.spanner set. But dont have the sockets for the mononlocks...do you have a link please

Cheers
Do you have a link to buy the 2 piece tap full spanner set, cheers keep the video's coming
@@btmanbirdman1 if you click on the above link, and search todays tools, you’ll find them mate ♥️
Where do you get your work from? How much do you charge for a tap change
Recommendations and £70
Dear god, I made my comment then pressed play and its another hole 12:13 , what f@@@ calamity 😂😮
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I call my scrap MONEY 💰
Lee
Hahaha that’s true mate! 😍
Hi mate see you use the m12 I’m think of getting it is it worth? I your content good 👍
Hey mate thank you. And do you mean the m12 combi drill? Or the press gun?
@@Heatking all of m12 line of tools in general 👍
@@ieuanhughes8521 to be honest I can’t fault them, bigger than a 2.0amp battery would be advised, as they don’t last long hahaha
New build is dead maybe that's why it's quiet?
Could be that Neil! Didn’t think of that!
🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥👍
Cheers Wayne ❤❤❤
Gotta earn back my 1st title !!
Haha yesssssss♥️
@@Heatking OMG bruh !! Splinters mate SPLINTERS !!!
Also I wanna say a big thank you for helping me sort out my Franke sink problem I had.
Bought the parts and replaced the whole basket. Turns out the old one had the nut fused on to the long screw. Who would’ve thought this would happened within 2 years.
Thanks Dan for another great job
@@thegrinch295 yeh I wouldn’t have thought it would have happened in such a short time. Do you use aggressive cleaners on it? And you’re more than welcome! It’s payback for the support you give me on here!
@@Heatking probably once just as a yearly maintenance. But I never thought it would do that. Good to know
@@thegrinch295 it shouldn’t do that but it does haha
if you did not use pressfit what woukld you use? solder? comp fitting?
Solder mate, I’d of spent a bit of time clearing the water 👍🏼
We’re quiet Aswel corporate company, doing 2 jobs a day at min, max I’ve dine in last month is 4 jobs!
It’s strange times at the moment. Glad it’s not just me!
