- Day in the life of a plumber
In todays video I repair a unvented cylinder and replace a cracked toilet cistern. Please remember to only work on un vented water heaters if you are qualified
As always thanks for all the support, it is greatly appreciated

Got a love Tom’s plumbing antics . Best bits loads of panting “it won’t undo I can’t get to it it just won’t come then bingo 😄” love it mate …
Proper plumbing !
Even better when you’re mopping up the excess water .
If you don’t go home with wet trousers then you’ve not really done a proper days work as a plumber ..
Well that’s my experience anyway. 😂😂
I know what you mean about wet trousers, if your not paddling your not plumbing, thanks for watching as always mate
I love how authentic these vids are, stuff like undoing that relief nut turns something easy hard.
Thanks for the support as always Rich, sometimes they just won't come undone
Another excellent one Tom sometimes a bit of thought by builders for future servicing and accessibility would be nice regarding those tanks i think sometimes they purposely put them in the worst positions for a laugh have a good one mate
I know Gary, nobody ever thinks of the next person in, thanks for the support as always mate
Be the day builders, most installers & sparkys think of service/repair engineers!! 🤷♀️✌️
If helps, that stuck prv...the hole at end the spanner I put a screwdriver through it for xtra leverage and let the tools do the brunt!! ✌️ Crackin vid lad, toit space...like a toiger!! 🤟🥳
Good tip that, thanks for the support as always mate
Tom, fitting the pipework onto the cistern was poetry.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed
Wow, that looks claustrophobic!
It was a bit tight for space, thanks for watching
be a nice job to change the middle cylinder one day :) 😂
I'll let you have that job mate, thanks for the support as always
Blimey Tom that was tight in that roof space .good job you did not have to take the tank out ..that would be fun 👍👍👍
I don't think that cylinder will come out without the ceiling coming down, a problem for another day, thanks for watching as always John
Great video you didn’t have your three weetabix this morning what a stupid place to put the cylinders 🙄🤔😎
I should have had some weetabix, thanks for the support as always Neil
Brilliant video as usual!
For a minute I thought you were going to have to go and get a big stilson on that valve! Well done, it looked incredibly tough!
Thanks for posting Tom.
I was getting close to needing them, if I hadn't had been in a roof I probably would have fetched a bigger spanner, thanks for watching as always Steve
That tun dish just back from a holiday in Colombia? 😂
It's been somewhere mate, thanks for the support as always Colin
Not a whole lot of thought went into the design of that ‘plant room in the sky’🤣
I blame the designers and not so much the plumbers, thanks for the support as always Norman
Is it your company Tom? Makes me miss the industry these videos
It's my family's construction, I'm the only plumber in the family though so I look after the plumbing side, thanks for watching mate
12:10 that switch is on, looks like it goes to the immersion on that tank. Maybe that’s why the water is too hot?
I never noticed it at the time, the outlets were all blended but it could be why the tprv had gone off, in theory the stat should click off though, if I go back I will turn it off, thanks for watching
Hi Tom, that roof space looked very tight to work in, but you got the job sorted well done.
I can’t remember when I last had a cistern come off a toilet so easy, it’s usually a wrestling match to remove those nuts and bolts.
Another great film thank you Tom, have a great week and take care. 👍👍👍
I certainly got lucky with the cistern, you need a bit every now and then, thanks for watching as always Chris
Great video Tom, I did feel your pain undoing the valve in the loft. Hope you have an easy week. 👏👏
Thanks for the support as always Andy, it is greatly appreciated
Attic gymnastics springs to mind lol
Gymnast, plumber, expert mopper upper, I do it all, thanks for the support as always Tom
Very good video Tom ,👍👍👍👍✔️👍👍👍✔️👌have a good week catch you on the next one 👍
Thanks for the support as always Tom
One of them jobs where you really want to lick your finger to smooth the silicone round pan but decide against😂
Force of habit, thanks for the support as always Mike
Them cylinders were in a tight spot Tom 😮 Great video mate 👍😎
They certainly were show horned in there, I blame the designers not the the plumbers though, all they were likely asked to do is fit them, thanks for the support as always PB
Love the videos Tom, you're the only trade video I religiously watch every episode of! Rapidly approaching 10k subs too 👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always mate, I really apprecaite it
Another struggle Tom that roof space looked very tight to work in.
It's always a struggle at the minute Keith, thanks for the support as always mate
Great video as usual
Thanks for the support as always mate
Друг Том, купи аккумуляторный компрессор от Makita и упрости себе жизнь😉👍
Thanks for the support as always mate
Another struggle with that tank. Great jobs. 👍👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, I possibly made it look harder than it should have been 👍
Lovely job Tom, hope you had a restful weekend.
Thanks for the support Charles, I worked Sunday, had a few call outs
Great work Tom
Thanks for the support as always James 👍
Nice one Tom 👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always Shaun
Good video Tom ,thought that tank was going to kink as it was that tight that was really tight space to work in m8t…good job 👌👌👌
I was worried, thanks for the support as always mate
Nice little session mate 😊
Thanks for watching as always Wayne 👍
great work there tom it looked very toastie in that loft area.
while you where fitting that toilet cistern, you had someone watching in the corner.... 15:09
some say he's a driver and others say he's a plumber but we know him as the....
Thanks for the support as always mate, good spot with the stig, I could hide one in every video
That expansion vessel looks to small to me
It was a 12l, it was likely right for a 120l or a 150l cylinder, I think it's what it should be but someone will correct me, thanks for watching
@@PlumbLikeTom yea got a reply from the man himself 🤣
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for the support as always Wayne
Hi tom what is the pasre you put on the olive and nut many thanks
It's jet blue plus, thanks for watching Tom
That temp valve was tight Tom, as my old gaffer used to say “ not holding your mouth right” when jobs were tricky, always helped 🤪🪠🚽👍
It certainly didn't want to come out, I needed to threaten it more, thanks for the support as always Peter
Top stuff mate, these W⚓️s that fit cylinders without any thought of maintenance and making it easy reallyboil my piss
I blame the designers a lot of the time, buildings like this should have a proper plant room, plumbing always seems to be an after thought, thanks for watching as always mate 👍
What is up when the tundish not leaking, but cylinder is weeping out of nearly every joint? (expansion tank strangely comes out of top of cylinder next to top flow pipe - from a flexi that is kinked up badly, not sure if it ever worked)
The tundish is only a visible point to see if the safety valves are discharging, if connections are weeping they need looking at and I would advise getting a G3 person into to check to make sure everything is right, thanks for watching
@@PlumbLikeTom cheers tom
Are you going to installer?
I've never been but always wanted to go, work always seems to get in the way, are you going?
@@PlumbLikeTom Yeah, should be. Got it booked off. But if something major comes up i wont make it.
Two cylinders, is that because the property is that large or the household that big? With the two expansion vessels it almosts seems like there were separate systems here, or is one the hot tap water, and the other one for the central heating (they looked to be in-line but a video never shows everything).
The cylinders weren't linked, it was a small care home annexe so I guess one probably fed the kitchen and the other did the showers and taps, thanks for watching mate
@@PlumbLikeTom Thank you for posting these interesting vids!
2 jobs for the price of one vid
Thanks for the support as always Andy
Why a fanny trap on that run?
It's just to stop smells coming back as they bossed it into the soil pipe, thanks for watching mate
Surely all you had to do was look at the tundish to diagnose the problem
That is true but you can't always tell which valve is discharging, they are linked before the tundish so often you need to disconnect them to see which is passing, thanks for watching 👍
Yes you are right on that
Common Tom, you’re not trying to get the PRV off! Lol..
It wouldn't come off Dave, thanks for the support as always mate
@@PlumbLikeTomyeah that’s one of those jobs you are usually on your back laid in crap and struggling to reach and kicking your legs out in frustration. Remember it well.
How much do you rate yourself as a plumber out of 10؟؟ Honestly,
Some days 0 some days 10, it is a zero to hero job, thanks for watching as always
Access is terrible 😮
It wasn't the best, thanks for watching mate
Cant stand plastic fillers. I always buy the brass one now. Waste of money buying plastic because i'm too ham fisted and ruin 30% of them.
Toilet boxing in didnt look good 🤣🤣🤣
I agree, I've seen worse though, thanks for watching as always Barry 👍
Cant beat a manual pump electric can be too aggressive get a regin pump they are easy
True, thanks for watching mate
