Big push for 5000 Subscribers, can you help 🥺😂❤
Get in 5k on its way. I'm sure if all who watched subscribed you'd be there by the end of the week
@@CommercialGasEngineerVideos I wish that would happen mate but doesn’t seem to 😂😂😂 thanks for the support buddy.
I mentioned to say wouldn't have 🤣🤣
@@jameswilson2899 sometimes it's surprising to see that viewers who are subscribed are as little as 10-25%. Wonder what your percentage is🤔. Mine is 24.5% over lifetime.
Give this man a medal for sorting out the long time customer. You are what people in service industry can learn from. Great job 👏🏻 Dan !!
5k people let’s get it
Thank you mate. I feel you have to look after long term customers! Thanks for the support as always mate!
Great content as ever. Good long-standing customer no charge for revisit it’ll come back your way in other ways. Amazing how well you can work with one hand imagine working like that as an apprentice 🤣. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit. All the best Pete 👍
Thank you Pete for the support as always. Working one handed as an apprentice 😂😂😂
Cheers for your opinion on the long term customer too :)
Nice Nice Nice firstly thanks for the content secondly anything designer ie rads and things the person who designed them should be made to install them to see how effing difficult they are to fit and also how the gubbins they provide are sub standard cheap and nasty. Keep up the brilliant work pal 👍🏼
Cheers buddy, I agree on the designer rads. God dam awful things 😂 thanks for the support mate
As you turned the isolation valve I was thinking the same thing :) Loving the content am sure 5k will be very soon. Hopefully 20K by the end of the year
Thank you mate! I shouldn’t have turned it really. Asking for trouble there 😂😂 cheers for the vote of confidence mate.
Worth a quick try on the hob but I haven’t repaired one since my apprenticeship - not worth it so good shout! Great vid as always!
Cheers Richie, I don’t think I’ve ever repaired one 😂
Top job Dan❤. This was a typical day. Good service. £9 is not a lot on a freebie although a lesson learnt change it first time n don’t get called back twice.
Thanks mate. And true, I absolutely hate getting called back 😂😂
I think I heard a bad word ! 😂😂😂 I reckon you’re right not to charge for the condensate leak, I know it’s a pain but if you look after a long standing customer they will always have you back ! Great vid good luck!
Thanks Jerome! You might have heard a bad word haha I tone it down in videos but sometimes they slip out! Thanks for your opinion on the recall mate!
Thanks for the video, always good content. Always charge for your work. Never play with taking apart taps, unless using "Tip Top tap connectors." You know what they say about women who f--- for nowt, and men who work for nowt....they will always be busy! Peace and goodwill.
Haha cheers Martin, I shouldn’t have messed about with them taps. But I knew what the landlord would have said 😂😂
Another good few varies jobs there Ben 😂. Hob is probably not worth the repair by the rime you work out which model, order 3 thermocouples and xome back a spend some time opening it up etc. looks like its seen better days anyways
Yeh mate, I agree :) I ended up changing it anyway. Cheers for the support mate
Great video an content as usual well done mate
Thank you Razz, appreciate the support as always mate
Another great vid mate! Keep em coming , Andy
Thank you as always, Andy appreciate the support mate.
Thanks for uploading
You’re welcome mate! Thanks for the support.
I'm starting to notice those bottom o-rings don't really seal again once you remove the cap to clean the trap. Going to start stocking them. Good video mate.
Cheers mate. I normally put a bit of silicone grease on and it’s all good. However this one came back with vengeance 😂
Keep it going pal good job
Thank you Jay
Another great video Dan keep them coming and keep doing you!
Thank you mate. Appreciate the loyal support as always 🙏🏽🙏🏽
More great content...keep it coming
Thank you very much as always
Another great video 👍 really enjoyed
Thank you Derek! Appreciate that mate.
Brilliant Dan, keep them coming 👍🏻
Thank you buddy as always
Very interesting video Dan, as usual. Thanks!
Thanks Steve for the support mate 🙏🏽
I would have charged for that revisit, great content mate.
Cheers mate. Good to know that! Thank you! 🙏🏽
I would of charged for that revisit too. "The customer should always pay for your mistakes" thats my motto. Then after I charged them full whack for the second visit, I would of ripped the boiler off the wall and told them it needs replaced. These customer types need to know whos boss. I like to do that with massive unexpected bills, they'll definitely recommend me to their friends, family and neighbours then🫡
@@danielbailey1452 ha ha ha ha wish I had your stones Dan LOL
Another great video Dan ❤
Thank you as always Paul 🙏🏽
@@Heatking ❤️
I make you right. Regular customer, no charge. Short term pain for long term gain. That 16 year old boiler ain’t lasting much longer and the helpful plumber will get the job 😎 Just add the seal and time to the boiler swop. Simples!!
Great shout that mate, like you say. It won’t be lasting much longer anyway 😛😂 cheers for the support mate
I think you did right not charging the worcester customer for the revisit . It will repay itself in the long run 👍
Thanks for your opinion mate. Much appreciated 🙏🏽
Diamond dan 👍👍👍 treat yaself to a ABD tools tap handle puller or a 3 legged bearing puller ❤❤❤
Didn’t even know there was such a tool for the job! Cheers Paul!
I can see that I have a lot to teach you young mannnn about tools toys and gadgets 🎉🎉🎉
@@paul_my_plumbs_uk all about that mate! ♥️
Love your videos mate and your sense of humour, pity you don’t send two vids a week anymore
I’m going to be doing two videos a week in the future mate don’t worry, they’ll be back ♥️
@@Heatking good to hear mate, I’ve thought about doing some videos of some of the stuff I do on a daily basis and it doesn’t seem that easy, I admire all that make the effort to help others, I work with lots of new apprentices that are learning the job the hard way, it’s not so easy to learn a trade now as it was before, my advice to all new comers to any trade would be to watch as many different RUclips videos as you possibly can, I learn lots from your videos and lots of other people’s channels, cp utility, blue dog, heating geeks, dr pipe, Tom cat training, plumb like Tom, pb plumbing, the list goes on and on, just remember that there are alot of people that you are helping with your channel and time and effort mate
@CarlAtkinson-zu1zh cheers mate, the videos are a bit of a pain to get and edit etc, and the money you earn i find isn’t that great either. However it’s a hobby I suppose so you have to enjoy it first and foremost! Thank you for the support as always buddy 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Heatking yep plumbing videos aren’t really the same as some hot chick getting her tits out every five minutes and making millions from her channel, it takes time to build your channel and audience, keep it up mate
@@Heatking my advice for future videos would be to concentrate on gas jobs, once you’ve seen a toilet or a sink or bath being fixed thats all you need to know, boiler repairs and maintenance is the way to go I would say, I love the mixture of jobs you show so don’t listen to me, plumbing jobs are relatively simple so I would recommend doing more boiler breakdown videos, take care mate
Excellent job 👍👍
Thank you Marcus! Appreciate the support mate 🙏🏽
@@Heatking you’re very welcome I’ve just had my vaillant boiler major service and strip down now runs lovely plus had to have a new expansion vessel fitted as well 😏
@@marcusmaximus451 nice! Do you have that under contract or have you had to pay to have it done? 🙏🏽
@@Heatking I paid to have it done, I’m not a lover of the big well known companies that do a basic 15 minute service compared to what I had done including magnaclean clean plus inhibitor and new gasket set I must say I was rather impressed 👍
@@marcusmaximus451 i’m glad you had great customer satisfaction without using the big firms.
Thanks
Thank you so much Alex 🙏🏽 as always mate 🥰
@@Heatking thank you for making these videos 🤓
@@AlexRocks24-7 anytime buddy
Push for the 5k. Show some of the quote jobs.
Thanks Steve, what do you mean by the quote jobs? Show how I quote one?
@@Heatking yes, just how you assess and quote for your work. I’m social housing, we used to replace thermocouples on hob. Not any more, it’s a greasy job.
@@stevedevois8452 cheers Steve. I’ll try include that in an upcoming video sometime! 🙏🏽
No wouldn’t have charged for it . Reputation/reccumendation
Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
🤘😎🤘
Cheers Wayne
I get exactly why you didnt charge for condense recall i would have deslt with it same way as you
Cheers Jacko! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Next time you get some of those heads stuck on the tap splines, with them still in the basin, get your bender former and wack it from underneath, usually does the trick, yes had loads of problems with the Worcester traps over the years, replaced the top o rings and they’ve still leaked, poor design , try and avoid taking them out now unless really bad, I would have done the same though and not charged
Thanks Paul. Will try that trick next time. Too many parts to dissemble on the Worcester condensate traps unfortunately. You’re doing the right thing by not touching them unless necessary.
Forgot to say, put a towel in the basin though, they tend to fly off and land anywhere with a thud😃
@@paulsmith2931 😂😂😂 thanks mate
Enjoyed this one! Do you know any RUclips plumbers from Kent/Medway?
Thank you mate! Erm I’m not sure if ‘glister services’ on here is from that way. He’s definitely a southerner 😂😂
@@Heatking Cheers, not come across Glister, he appears to be North London similar to CP Utilities. It seems the South East are Plumb Shy 😂
You defo deserve more Subs, but as others have said, just enjoy yourself and subs will come! I see you commenting all over the internet supporting other smaller channels, you’re top bloke! Maybe a guest on Trade Legends soon? 😉
@@TooMuchInfoSir I’d forgot about chigs (cp) but I know he doesn’t like plumbing 😂 heating geek might be more your area but I’m
Not sure he does plumbing.
I try to support all Channels when I have time and see them to be honest. :) trade legends? Haha not had the call yet 😂😂😂
What’s caused that Dan, limescale ? 19:32 They jammed solid 😮
Probably turned off by a 90 year old lady who ‘hates to see taps dripping’.
Yeh limescale and age mate 😬
Mate I'd subscribe if ya set up another channel aswell about those chemtrails 😂
😂😂😂 I
Appreciate that mate! 🙏🏽🥰
Sometimes it’s not worth risking upsetting a decent customer, got to take it on the chin 😢
Cheers mate! Thanks for your opinion on that one 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Definitely wouldn’t charge for the revisit. I’m lucky enough to have a large loyal customer base. I found that the people that rip customers off and charge for things like this don’t have a customer base.
I agree, Ian. For what Little I would’ve charged anyway it simply isn’t worth losing a loyal customer.
The white lines behind a plane are actually caused by the jet engine tearing apart the water molecules in the air, reheating them and they form small clouds. Hence the white lines 😉
Haha cheers Colin, some people call them chemtrails and they think the government puts chemicals out for us to breath in or so I believe, was kind of a comment to get comments haha
@Heatking oh aye I know 😂 watching your vid while I'm on call tonight
@@colin4685 haha! The call must be boring if you’re watching this instead 😂😂
@@Heatking 2 no gas, 1 leak that was none existent and a e131 fault on a potterton. Very boring
I wouldn’t bother too much about the subs on your channel, if you mention it a lot you can come across as a bit needy .
Just keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy it .
The reasons I don’t have a YT channel is
1. I’m too old/ technophobic fucker
2. I’d swear too much, because that’s what plumbing does to you.
3.I don’t look like you😂
4. I can’t be arsed
Haha cheers Darren, it’s a fine line between not mentioning subs and mentioning. I
Get what you’re saying though. Last video I had people saying they didn’t realise they hadn’t subscribed 😂. I don’t blame you not having a RUclips. I’m going to do a what RUclips paid me in the last 12months next month… put it this way. It’s not worth it 😂
@@Heatking fuck it then I’m definitely not going to go there
@@darrenphillips5874 haha you’ll see, it might be more than you think, or less. I’ll show it next month, when I’ve done 12 months paid haha
I think you Will blow up, likeable and funny and clearly know what you’re doing, don’t sweat it
@@darrenphillips5874 cheers Darren, appreciate that very much mate 🙏🏽
Never worth repairing old hobs
I agree mate, absolute pain of a job, and that’s just getting materials haha
