Nice one Tom, he's going to be a cracking plumber. Does what he can and isn't scared to ask when he's unsure. That's the way we all learn. ❤
Thanks for the support as always Hugh, he will turn into a great lad, I just need to try and keep hold of him
They had sell half of the house to pay the lecky bill for that bastard. Man,electricity must have been free in the eighties to feed that. I would like to have the controls and wiring arrangement of it. Separate elements for day and off peak. Must have been three phase to support that load. Still, great video mate. Cheers and all the best.
Thanks for the support mate, the electric bill must have been eye watering, like you say it must have had a 3 phrase supply at some point to fed that
Brilliant watch Tom & Harry and Guest appearance the cat and they can always say you’ve HAD your work inspected by the cat 😂👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always mate, the cat was certainly keeping a very close on eye on things, have a great weekend
Always enjoy your videos Tom.
Thanks for the support as always Brian
We all need some help now and again .there is always something new we come across...Looks like bit of an involved job to get all the pipes found and identified. ..
That tank was huge.
Love it when you lost the cat under the floor 😂😂😂😂
Looks like you both have got the pipes sorted out 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always John, it was a bit if head scratcher at first, I was lucky not to lose the cat
Awesome work mate. As a central heating installer of 24 years, even I struggled to work out exactly what was going on to begin with. That thermal store could have ran about 5 houses.
I think it could have ran a hotel, I'm not even sure how they got it in there, thanks for watching James, have a great weekend
@@PlumbLikeTom cheers Tom, you too mate.
Enjoyed that and the banter at the end. Have a great weekend and I look forward to some more videos from you Tom.
Thanks for the support as always Charles, have a great weekend mate
Good video Tom,nice to have a laugh at work as well as working out problems with systems and jobs 👍
Thanks for the support mate, it's nice to have a bit of fun every now and then, once the job is sorted though
Hi Tom, that water tank was massive, I’ve never seen one that big in a domestic property before. Be interesting to see how you remove it, surely it will need cutting up. Hope it all went well for you and the customer is happy.
I was laughing when the cat 🐈 appeared from under the floor. Looking forward to the next film, have a great weekend Tom and take care. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Chris, I think it will need cutting out, it might be a fun job. The cat was keeping a close on eye on things, have a great weekend mate
Had a new 22mm Nerrad slice do the same as yours , had to spin it really slow to get it to cut. Left in the bag a for about a week and used another.
All of a sudden it works fine now though. I’ve had this with new rothenberger slices as well before.
Thanks for watching Gavin, I took mine back and they gave me a new one, they do come with a 2 year warranty and they said I can return it is many times as I like in that time
Rothenberger slices have gone rubbish with the springs failing and nerads snapping
That was different Tom, your never short of unique jobs , liked the cat content, I once closed a floor up and then the cat was missing, had to take the floor back up to let it out again 🐈, hope you have a good weekend, take care. 👍🚽
Thanks for the support as always Peter, it's a nightmare when you lose the customers pet, there is a comedy script in there somewhere I'm sure, have a great weekend mate
I just had a customer buy. A hotel (posh) for Southport..2 boilers. Heat only and a combo for downstairs, nightmare figuring it out, got it sorted eventually, experience pays well, you have a lot, good video as always!
Glad you got it sorted Josh, sometimes the ones that make you think are the most satisfying when it all works in the end
What powers those immersions has it got a power station next door. I wouldn’t have a clue where to start with that one Tom 😂
I think if you switched all the immersions on at the same time it probably would have melted something, it certainly would have burnt a deep hole in your wallet that's for sure, thanks for watching mate
@@PlumbLikeTom I just don’t get why, why it’s got that many what’s it trying to achieve 🤷♂️
@@alimack5489 I guess it was designed for a much lager building, the immersion heaters would have been a backup in case the heat source ever failed. It would have meant the building would have still been heated via the immersions, it would have been tremendously expensive though but in the right setting such as a care home where heating is essential, it may have served a purpose
Always good interesting content Tom, never seen anything quite like that either, it’s jobs like that where the customer pays for experience mate👍🏻
Thanks for the support as always mate, it is greatly appreciated
Been binge watching you again thomas.
Been a while. Great content still ❤
Thanks for the support as always mate, I'm so pleased you are still enjoying the videos, have a great weekend
Great video, Tom, thanks.
That water tank was mad, I can’t understand why they shoved in so many immersions, when they couldn’t all be on at once unless they had a three phase supply.
Enjoyed the funny bit at the end!
Thanks for the support as always Steve, there was a huge power box on the wall, I think some were on the economy 7 setting for night tariff, it still would have been super expensive though
@@PlumbLikeTom I had a flat like that once, weren't as many immersions but there were multiple, immersions some were on E7 as you said and some on the day time for (boost) flat was horrible, storage heaters on E7 so you had to predict the weather.
Hated it.
Great video Tom, it’s definitely a head scratcher lol,
Thanks for the support as always Andy, it always amazes me when you look at systems like this what the original plumber must have been thinking, everything is always done for a good reason but I think that tank was a bit overkill
Another great video Tom, I've believe I've also seen one of those cylinders before, but the same as you it was not that size. That was shame about your pipe cutters, I kind of thought the nerrad ones would have lasted longer than they did.
Thanks for the support mate, I took my cutter back, they come with a 2 year warranty so they said I can keep returning it if it breaks
Great video Tom. Some serious power consumption on them immersions. Have a good weekend 👍😎
Thanks for the support as always PB, it certainly would have had the meter spinning. Have a great weekend 9
That cylinder was like the starship enterprise
I think you could be right mate, it's probably been to the moon, thanks for watching, have a great weekend
Wow was that a copper tank Tom…lol worth a few quid in scrap if it is 👍great video m8t keep em coming pal…..👍👍👍
I think it will be steel unfortunately, thanks for watching mate, have a great weekend
Tom, that was a really interesting video. That thermal store my word, absolutely amazing - I reckon they must have had the meter bypassed if they ever used all those immersion heaters. I was a bit disappointed we did not get to see the tank being cut up to get it out.
Thanks for the support as always Norman, I may be back in the future to cut it out, one to look forward to, have a great weekend
That's an extra bedroom when take that tank out
Complex plumbing
I like the ones that get you thinking, thanks for the support as always, it is greatly appreciated
@PlumbLikeTom My mind would have been fried, well done. 👏
🤘😎🤘
Thanks for the support as always Wayne, have a great weekend mate
What a massive tank, was there anything special supporting it underneath?
I'm glad the cat got some professional attention at 09:38 🙂
I think there must have been steel in holding it up, or I would hope so at least, the cat certainly got some good attention that day, thanks for watching John, have a great weekend
7K subscribers! Keep going, mate. Is there going to be a vid when you take that beast of a tank out?
Thanks for the support mate, I can't believe we made it to 7k. It probably won't be until the summer when I take the tank out, the client really just wanted the heating splitting up for the time being
I got a 15mm cutter like that works great so far
I think I might have just got unlucky, they gave me a new one and said I can keep taking it back as many times as I like for two years, thanks for watching
Another interesting video Tom,
You sure do get the the most interesting unusual jobs Mate,
Good to see Harry again 😂,
Have a great weekend
👍👍🤜🤠
Thanks for the support as always Tony, I try to show the interesting bits from my week, I do get basic jobs as well but it gets a bit boring posting videos of the same jobs. Mondays video should be something good and different, have a great weekend mate
When I was doing bathrooms I had floor boards up , after lunch put them back down. Later in the afternoon the customer said she could hear the cat miaowing but couldn't find it . 😂😂
I nearly lost this one a couple of times, thanks for watching as always mate, have a great weekend
I had that with a heating system, had to go back in the evening and let the cat out from under the floor, didn't even know they had a cat there..................
Mr,tom,you,are,great,plumber,I,like,your work,I,am,plumber,I,leave,in,Pakistan,,my,city,name,,is,Lahore,
Thanks for watching mate
Another interesting and informative video Tom, do you work for yourself or a company as you seem to pretty much choose your own schedule?
I work for my families construction business, my job is to look after the plumbing side, thanks for the support as always mate
Great content Tom, think you need a new brush 😭
Thanks for the support as always James, years of life left it I think
I remember the first time i seen one of them had to get my old mate to give me some advice. every day is a learning day . Some of the monstrosity the old guys used to fit is scary stuff Hahahahahahahaahahahaha
Thanks for the support as always Keith, it always amazes the amount of stuff that is out there that I still haven't come across, like you say every day you learn something new in this job
Great work as always, just a quick question… how come you still used copper when there was plastic there already? Wouldn’t the flow of the system already be restricted by the inserts in those plastic fittings? (I generally always use copper but I’m starting to wonder if it’s just more difficult for not much benefit!)
Thanks for the support James, I just prefer copper I think, I do use plastic on some jobs and it does speed things up a bit, I know if I put copper in properly it should at last me
Thanks for the reply Tom. I think we're in the same boat (apart from you make it look easy!)@@PlumbLikeTom
How feasible would wiring in solar panels direct into a hot water immersion be? Solar feed in rates are almost nothing where I live and battery storage is not cheap in the least. Especially since the mains usage is almost nothing since our house is empty during the day anyway.
Hi mate, I'm not an expert on solar PV but my dad has just had something very similar done, the feed tariffs back to the grid are so low you are better off to use the power you create rather than give it back for free, he has a hot tub which he powers, the theory would be the same for a hot water cylinder though, thanks for watching mate
Another good one Tom. Are we going to see you cut that massive beast out in a future video. 😂😂 Bet that’s gong to be a relief for the National grid now that’s gone.
Thanks for the support as always Colin, I may be back in the future to cut it out, the client does want it out as it takes up loads of space, have a great weekend
Is that essentially a thermal store of sorts?
Kind of but this doesn't have a coil in it, all this does is get heated by the wood burner and there is a pump to drag the heat away that feeds the radiators, my mate couldn't understand why the radiators weren't draining, it's because there was nearly 2000l of stored water, this was massively oversized for the property, thanks for watching mate
Xmas has come early with all that scrap....
I don't think it will be copper unfortunately, most likely steel, thanks for watching mate
@@PlumbLikeTom Yes, mild steel Tom and insulation behind outer case. I had one 20+ years ago that was the same size as a 600G steel oil tank and had loads of Immersions all over it, built in tight to a cupboard on the ground floor.
Never seen one since until now. Had to cut mine up in situ to get it out....................
Electric cost a fortune to run, they had gas put on to the house and I put a Potty Suprima out in the garage ( 1 st gen one with the PCB problems.. ) 😞
Imagine the phone cal, " how much do you charge to swap an immersion heater " .
Ten minutes to change it but two days to drain it
Chauffeur to day feet up
I don't blame you Glyn, enjoy, thanks for watching as always mate
Imagine the weight of that tank!,
Well over 2t with the water, I'm surprised it didn't end up downstairs, they want it taking out but the only way that is happening is in pieces, thanks for the support as always Danny
Is it copper Tom?,want a hand cutting it up 😂
@@dannywilkins887 I'll help as well mate 🤑🤑
Those nerrad cutters are garbage I had the same problem with the 22mm so did my dad,the wheels break seriously quick as well,I’ve thrown them out and gone back to my monument cutters
I've seen a few people saying there were really good but mine was rubbish, they do come with a two year warranty though so I guess I can just keep taking it back, thanks for watching mate, have a great weekend
They do cut really quick compared to other cutters,I guess the wheels are thinner so they cut better but I changed my wheel last week in my 15mm I’ve fitted 3 boilers since then and there completely knackered.
The only good thing about I think is there not as wide so you can cut in slightly more awkward places where the monument won’t fit.
But £7 a week in cutting wheels takes the piss a bit so I’m back on monument
3 lane motorway in your neck of the woods?? You must be working a bit of a distance from home.
We had a bit of ride out, it was for a good customer though who likes using us, thanks for watching Darren
