GREAT NEWS. Phil has been given an apprenticeship 😂😂😂👍👍👍

5 stars from me Alan. Helping young people learning a trade. Hat off to you!

Phill will make it all the way to the top, keep smiling and never give up . Later you’ll be making good money Well done Alan

Good luck to the lads. Great to see young lads keen to learn. The traditional apprenticeship route cannot be beaten in my opinion and these lads deserve an opportunity. Alan it's great you're sharing your knowledge, it'll only help the lads get on with their career.

What an absolute honour and privilege its is for these two apprentices to be learning from the best in the business.

Worst part was that the video had to end.. really good video, would love more of these. Neat looking pipework good job.

Thank you Alan I’m a trainee plumber and this has been very useful. Top man 👍🏻

Same as me really took me 6 years to get an apprenticeship. I was in and out of factories and thought this ain’t for me and went back into plumbing and found my employer in a local petrol station and asked and got lucky. My advice just ask and ask because if you dont ask you don’t get👌 I’m now studying my NVQ Level 3 and Havnt looked back.

Loving these videos. Nice to see apprentices really working hard, paying attention, and trying to amass as much experience as possible.Those guys will go far.

I’m sure the lads will find someone to take them on positive attitudes 👍🏻 Well done mate keep up the great work and videos 👍🏻👍🏻

Great work Allen, helping the young guys to learn a trade is awesome, all the best to the young lads, top marks to you Allen

Really good video, showing the lads all the different types of fittings is a superb idea. Wishing them all the best in finding work & well done Allen for giving them a platform ❤

Best of luck Phil with getting an apprenticeship, just need to keep sending your cv to everyone, should look into service and maintenance course

Great stuff training up the lads. great to see them having a go well done Phil

Hope the lads find work I'm a qualified plumber I've recently left the trade for various personal reasons but it's a great trade to have and when a job is done right and you've no leaks it's very rewarding and the work is enjoyable your giving these lads a good base to start with and its brilliant to see 👍🙌🙌

Top Bloke Allen ......Nice to see young lads keen and wanting to learn a trade ..... I watch your vids and I'm a spark!!!.... pride and quality in work always stand out from the rest ...

Massive respect for teaching these young lads, they did a great job

you have acc saved my college grades first year doing the plumbing course and I'm learning more from Allen the my own teacher!!!!!

that's fantastic allen nice to see 2 young pepole doing well for they plumbing career and iam sure allen YOU are proud to do that.

Allen your a star - a good man for helping these young men. Nice to hear a Yorkshire accent. As a Batley lad living in the USA for the last 10years quite a lot of similarities but many differences in plumbing, electrics and construction. Pipe thread sealant is called pipe dope here and there are various types some better than others. While not a plumber I am a bit of an obsessive DIYer learning from pros, including tips in doing a clean and neat job. Next level now I am getting into doing things by international plumbing codes. I am lucky to be able to afford equipment to do a good job. Full of admiration for you mate.

Bravo Allen! Training the next generation is a must!

Great video Allen great to see young lads learning the trade 👍👍👍

Great video, thank you for taking them under your wing Allen. You're a natural teacher.

Good video mate ,helping these young lads and remind them no matter what the question is always ask it may seem stupid but down the line it can helpful

Well done guys, amazing video, keep up the good work.

great job Allen, learning those lads a trade. Hat off. respect

Excellent video Allen , Best of luck Phil and Danny !

Good luck to the lads, I hope they get jobs👍👍 Thanks Allen you remembered the Joint Paste👍👍 It’s looking great & the guys are making a great job of it.

Wish them both best of luck. You can always tell if they want to be there and eager to learn and they both seem to have that. I do mainly first fix work around London and thinking of getting a proper apprentice again next year. The main thing is making sure they have the right attitude, have seen some that just don't give a toss and others that bend over backwards sweeping floors etc to show they are eager.

Well done Alan brilliant teacher they will hopefully get work in no time with winter coming

Also Allen just to say i enjoy your videos, can see you take a lot of pride in your work.

Good luck boys ❤️ love your channel Allen!

Good man Allan, good luck lads get as much hands on as you can.

Good job on being so great with the apprentices.

Very helpfull and informative , im a fresh new apprentice and i like the way you break it down simply so its all not to much to take it in at once, thankyou!

Such a good teacher and plumber. 🙂🙂🙂👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Top job once again Allen

Great vid Allen when you opening up the Apprentice Skills WorkShop ! 👏👏. This is far better encouragement for the next Generation of Plumbers/ Gas Fitters. Than the other Platforms that supposedly help students. Well done Allen 👍.

Good luck to them. They have the right attitudes to get where they want to be. Took me sending out 100 cv’s to every local company I could find. Got 3 replies, one telling me good luck, two offering work. Worked for £20 a day to get some experience. Too many people think they can jump on some 6 week fast track course and then be out there making loads of money. Fingers crossed they get a proper apprenticeship. After I got a bit of experience I got myself a apprenticeship with British Gas and have been installing for 9 years now. People may knock them but back then it was a great apprenticeship and I learnt a lot.

Good man, well done for helping them out. Atb

Hat's off to you....Because of the way education is structured, young people leave school & college with a head full of all sorts of rubbish & when they enter the workplace they get such a crap chance to gain experience then we wonder why they get into trouble. Give a youth a bunch of money & he will spend it on beer n birds...give a youth a trade with apprenticeship & he will become a skilled trade worker who can earn his own money for life to get it right & make a happy family. Employers tell us that they can't get the trades they need but so often they do not take any responsibility for equipping those employees with the skills they need...trade school can only teach you so much...

Well done Allen something I wanna do is train up guys.

Brilliant Allan , Top man 👋👋👋👋

Great stuff allan, fingers crossed for Phil, seems a really nice keen lad. Hope someone watching can help him.

Rock on Allen you the man

I wish Danny and Phil all the very best. Hope they get something.

So helpful thank you and quite sweet 🥰

Well done lads

Good job

Well done

Phil is a good lad

I was thinking of doing something like this. Let’s face it, women would be advantage

Top man Mr Hart

Good job allen

Look at them both figuring out where to put the pipe work bet there heads are spinning I remember all thst back at college working in twos to do your practical go on lads 👍👍👍

Great Vid, two good lads there, well done Allen

Top man this Allen guy

Class👍🏻

Hi pal great vid , just wondering how much the training cost ? And is they any places available in the near future

Hi Allen. When you say out paste on the olive at the beginning of the video, do you mean something like ‘Plumber’s Mait’?

Great stuff Allen, the white pipe you are using , what is it called. Im in Canada and have yet to see that. I always use copper for all my boiler installs and Wirsbo/Pex tubing for the infloor and floor warming. Good luck to Phil and Danny in their futures. I dont know what it is like in the U.K. but we are really short on skilled tradesmen over here. Cheers keep the videos coming

Well done Allan and the two lads,I have to say Allan I’m not a lover of flexi pipe that can be seen,not your fault but it’s not a patch on copper.

Thanks Allen......good to see you helping some youngsters. Quick question, in the "Day One" video when you put the tails in you used ptfe and in this video you say it's a no-no. Why is that?

God bluss all off you

2 videos in 2 days, your spoiling us

What was the issue with the first soldered fitting?

What is olive paste? I'm always up for tips on using a copper pipe bender, mine came out of a skip so missing parts are possible. Good luck lads.

National grid offer some great apprenticeships in electricity and gas. We'll worth looking into if you want to earn and learn at the sametime. These guys look like ideal candidates. You can't teach enthusiam

Alan could I send you a video of my dual heating system, oil boiler and solid fuel stove. I had a chap look at it before but I didn't think he knew much, my problem has only come to surface now because I only bought heating oil, which I hadn't bought in years because of financial issues. Now when I put on my heating the water pitches out the overflow pipe in the attic. I'm handy at this type of work if I'm showing what to do!! Any help would be much appreciated Niall.

Hello Allen it’s always enjoyable watching your videos. I’m newly qualified gas engineer need to learn lot more. Is there any way i can work with u please .I’m from Oldham

Nice one Allen... they must be keen to learn... shame british gas is falling through as I trained in their academy in Leeds... quality place and I've spotted the ex BG van.. assuming you was with them at some point? Training is second to none but the bullying is rife

I've never used paste on compression fittings the water is sealed via the olive I work on hydraulic systems where the oil pressure is over 200 bar and all the fittings I use on steel pipework have olives never had a leak so far.

Hi what are the best radiator brands you'd recommend?

Get him a job at your place allan 👍

Just out of curiosity, do you ever use brass compression fittings?

Any apprentice plumbing jobs going at all in harrogate wanting to learn the trade

I am coming in UK

I like in carriers

Pity they are not in the Norfolk area Good luck lads

the inlet would be in the top and the outlet at the bottom, and dont finger the pipes and fitting after you clean it, you have grease on your fingers :)

Shame we cant follow Phil's full journey, would make a good playlist.

I have 3 questions one for each of you tbf. Why is there not an external *Non Return Valve* fitted on Cold Water supply pipe on new boiler install ? ( every other outlet should have one in a new house - I believe ) Why is there not an external *Pressure Bypass Valve* fitted across flow & return CH ? What's the point of the red plastic top on a *PRV* why does it just spin around when you turn it without doing anything ?

you used chrome pipe tail into rad valve connected by a press fit fitting do you not need to clean the chrome off the pipe first before using the press fit tool ????

I have to use Pex because my house is in county Limerick in Ireland and almost every person who lives in Limerick is either a traveller or a settled traveller and they will either throw a milk urn through your front window and then rip out all your copper pipping or they will tie a chain to your front porch and rip your bloody door out , wall plugs and all and then run in and rip out all your copper.

Emmeti looking at them mlcp to copper connectors, sill not convinced by them

I am from India

Apologies I wrote my last comment before the end. Good luck to danny as well

Where is day 3. Should i do level 1 2 and 3 at a college THEN become an apprentice? Many thanks

no one ever gave me a chance. i don't even have a criminal record, drug problems or alcohol. Hate this world so fucking much. Worthless degree, nobody will take me on as a apprentice, can't get a fucking job. Had enough, its been so many years, nothing works out for me and I work hard.

Hi MR I just want to know in which English city it's better to come and start plumbing working . I have got just 3 years experience in this field . And I have got basic diplomas as well . And what about salary ?

Allen what football team do you support?

And you Danny

I am living in Jamaica on I would like to do a plumbing course on line give a good online course

@ 2:05 what is the paste that goes on the olive ? Thanks.

Salam alikum I'm a good plumber and I want to move to uk and work in uk I have 30yrs

Wonder did Phil ever make it ?

That lad is heuuuuuge! Or you two are dwarfs! Haha

My name is noufal

You live in rhodes islandia

How come they don't do any soldering in their first year at college? Surely that's basic plumbing skills, or is soldering seen as an old way to do things?
