That glass isn't very sharp to be honest, it like the stuff they use in newer cars where the edges are designed not cut when the glass breaks, thanks for the support as always John
Interesting video as usual Tom, thanks. Those are great tips on using carpet protector. That siliconing was pretty amazing! Looks like they had no nozzle on the tube and the concept of smoothing had eluded them!
Glad your busy tom, sometimes just need to step back and take a breather, ie a day off to catch up with other things and less stress, keep up the vids when you can mate always enjoy them 👍
Hi Tom, yep I know those shower screens can be a pain and the clean up is time consuming too. I don’t enjoy working under pressure these days, I think I’m too old now for that. Another great film thanks Tom, take care. 👍👍👍
It might work but the silcone is also behind the glass into the wall profile, it's trying to break the bond without breaking the glass, thanks for watching as always Pete
I use a wire cheese cutter to cut through the silicone to remove the screen profiles,put the wire at the top and pull it down, works great and no damage to the tiles.
The problem on these ones is you can't get to the screws without getting the glass out which is stuck in, if I had used the wire behind the profile I might have been able to pull the plugs and screws out, they are just a pain, thanks for watching as always mate
Hi Tom i was screaming with your facial emotion and pain mate done the same job many times, ten tubes of silicone and it still leaked all the best for christmas to you and family🎄🎄
Gloves probably would have been a good idea, my skin is quite thick now on my hands because I've never worn them, thanks for the support as always mate
The Viessmann ain’t a Combi, it’s a 4-pipe system boiler. Outer pipes are heating flow & return, inner ones are hot water cylinder flow & return. We fit a few like this. They work on hot water priority. Bit pointless using one in that installation though. Gloves Tom please😮
It is a good idea if you want hot water priority, but like you say it's a bit pointless on this, I did a Worcester a couple of years ago with priority hw, like you day it is a system boiler, I just got myself muddled, thanks for watching as always mate
I don't know, I thought I had knocked it but looking at the footage I was no where near it, most likely a vibration through the wall just slightly turning the handle, or a ghost perhaps, thanks for watching mate
People pay thousands for shattered glass these days, it’s art! Great idea with carpet protector. That Viesman is mad as surely it’s more flow to just run flow and return and pop a zone valve in with stat. Than run it through a plate on a combi
Thanks for the support mate, I couldn't work out why they had piped the boiler up like that, it probably worked out more expensive for them as the cylinders come with a zone valve and stat
@@plumbertime I just try and do my best, not everything always goes well and some jobs aren't always the greatest but you can only ever do what you can do
They had certainly pumped it full, I don't know what it was they used but it stained the tray, I got it all clean off but it left a tinge, thanks for watching as always mate
Well done getting that shower screen out, it looked a nightmare job. Thanks for all the effort you put into your channel Tom. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the support as always Andy
Some nice jobs there Tom.
Pleased to see your fingers still intack after playing with that glass 😯

Thanks for the support mate
Thank you for the video Tom !!
Thanks for the support as always Barry, it is greatly appreciated
use a multi tool to cut the silicone down either side of the screen. also multi solv helps dissolve the silicone

Hi Tom, brilliant content as always.

You are right Anthony, thanks for watching as always mate 👍

Thanks for the support mate, it is greatly appreciated
Doesn't look like brick dust more like rot spores.
I was cringing when you were picking them bits of glass out that frame Tom. I thought you were going to cut yourself mate, great vid as usual 👍👌
It was a job a maybe should have worn gloves on, my fingers are pretty cut proof now, thanks for watching as always Charles
Hi Tom, how can I contact you about a potential job?
Thanks for watching Chris, you can drop me an email, my address is tomplumber2@gmail.com
Same here 😊
I thought that was the new screen
Luckily it was the old one,. it would have been nice to get it out intact though, thanks for the support as always
Wincing watching this with you not using gloves around all that glass!
Where are you bleedin gloves Tom?
Gloves might have been a good idea, to be honest I've never bothered with them, some jobs are probably should put some on, thanks for watching mate
Put some freaking glove on to protect yourself even if you’ve covered it 😂
👍👍
Thanks for the support as always Tom
Must have been about 3 tubes of silicone in that shower!
They had certainly pumped it full, I don't know what it was they used but it stained the tray, I got it all clean off but it left a tinge, thanks for watching as always mate
