    What you said about customers reluctance to call you back is exactly why you see other plumbers on RUclips saying, "I've been doing this for 17 years and never had a problem" when you can blatantly see that what they are doing isn't right.

      @@bluebulldog_uk Obviously Honeywell Diverter Valve manufacturer may have a problem with those shut off balls swelling for a pastime , so just by replacing that top plate coupled to new Ball , it Sorts the Problem... great Work Around, personally i would have likes with the Tiles behind a door especially , but you went that extra mile to keep a person happy... Great Result.

    Always fold those cleaning strips in half down the lenth when cleaning pipes - gives you more control and you can target stubborn areas !

    That’s a really good tip regarding the MV. Look forward to your video on the diverter valves, your knowledge of plumbing coupled with your hand skills is as good as it gets. In addition to said knowledge you have what I would call “ The extra mile factor” ie you go above and beyond for your customers. Not every plumber would be bothered going back to rehang that towel rad. You my friend or the bench mark for plumbing. If there was a Dali lama for plumbing you would be up there Luke. Keep the content coming. Superb work my good man.

  • @killerbean9911
    @killerbean9911 Месяц назад

    With blowtorches, if I've ever had issue setting it off, I just turn it upside down and spam the button like you did while hitting the curve of the tip with something metal, it shakes the tiny bit of flux/solder that is stuck in there :)
    Top video as always, sometimes we gotta go back to job, it is what it is!

    Very useful. How did you know it must be the plate and not the head, i.e. how did you know the head was working correctly?

    • @bluebulldog_uk

      Moving into hot water and heating positions as it should be and trickling round heating always the ball 👍

  • @gurdittsingh7787
    @gurdittsingh7787 Месяц назад +1

    Can I just ask if the left hand
    pipe for towel rail refit could have been done by cutting just enough at the left hand end (keeping the pipe still attached to its valve) so just reconnect by resweating at the elbow only? No need then for a coupling in this left hand pipe. Me thinks...?
    Thanks to you for kindly sharing your experience, working knowledge... very appreciated!

    • @bluebulldog_uk
      @bluebulldog_uk  Месяц назад

      Yeah could have sweated it off save a coupler I suppose but when it’s painted shouldn’t really see it but fair point mate 👍

  • @waynebrown7671

  • @josephfelts6560
    @josephfelts6560 Месяц назад +2

    Thanks, Luke. I've done this myself, on occasion, with the diverter valve. It's your main port of call for when the rads warm up some without demand, same time the hot water is on.
    The rad did look more to the right on first glance. I would have looked to have it centralised from the outset, but the customer looked at it before you left, and I know how you felt, hearing they weren't satisfied and they're elderly, and you'd have wished they said something there and then, because you want customer satisfaction.
    It happens, and when it's all square, and you chat about it afterwards, it's all good. That's how we all get on. Well, should do.

    • @bluebulldog_uk
      @bluebulldog_uk  Месяц назад

      Yeah mate in hindsight was my mistake it looked lot better afterwards, yeah the diverter repair is something I do rarely in certain circumstances, works well with tight access 👍
