Love how you are showing how you missed things, teaches everyone that a) the unexpected things are normally the things that go wrong, b) your human and c) you're honest 👍

Been at it 38yrs,it good to know someone is dropping the same bollocks, great honesty showing the mistakes,we all make them. As you say real world !

It's me, I'm the "parrot on the shoulder" customer, because I like to learn how things work. 😊 And tbh, I'm often a bit lonely so talk to tradies, postmen, and even offer the amazon man a cuppa or a bottle of water to take in the van. 😂

Top marks for the honesty, you could've easily not shown that. Does wonders for your credibility.

I was on the edge of my seat when you drilled for the outside tap! Brave boy. 6" out could have been badly 🙈 but worked out beautifully. Phew!

Great video Mark, one of the best tools I bought in the last few years was an inspection camera for all those tricky behind kitchen cupboards and underfloor boards making sure there is no pipework or electrical cabling to ruin one's day!

Great too see warts and all. Keep smashing the vids out. Hats off to ya.👍👍

Hi Mark, Another great jobbing about bread and butter film, I love these films and I always learn a lot from them. Well done with the outside tap drilling measurements, I will now also remember to check the trv pin etc. Hope you are keeping well, have a great Easter long weekend, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

great measuring for the tap fitting

Thanks for the content you produce its much appreciated really enjoy what you do. Happy Easter Mark

pretty sure I've said before, I'm late to the game but videos like this helps me out so much. I don't need to see a 10k shower install, i like that you show the bread and butter jobs, it's what I survive on and it's so nice seeing a more experienced perspective on jobs and problem solving, awesome work pal 👍

Another cracking video chap, I need to show the missus that even the best don't always get it right first time & I'm definitely a parrot if someone comes around my place to work ha ha

Nice work Mark, those TRV,s catch us all at some point, just had one do exactly the same in my living room, keep the jobs coming 👍🚽

Great video appreciate the honesty and real life plumbing.

Another great video mark, keep them coming

Good to see u back to your normal self brother. Enjoyed the vid.

You can check the void sometimes by removing the subunit plinth and sliding your phone in to video it from below . Great video as always .

Don't you just love it when you miss measure and it works out even better. Ha. Look like a boss infront of customer as well 🔥. Good vid mate.

Another cracking video Mark. Enjoyed trying to guess where the drill bit would come out inside the cupboard. With all the pipework. Love a biit of trepidation. Nice one.

Can't beat a smelly trap under the sink lol. Great job on the outside tap.

Well done getting the hole right in the cupboards Mark. I would have taken the washing machine tap off and put the compression tee there, then put the tap back. Looked awkward fitting the tee where you have put it. Been a plumber for 56 years and enjoy watching your videos. I can see the stress in your face. I know the feeling. 👍

good luck,I run for a running club,great stress outlet.🏃🏃

Great video as always, thanks mate

I’m taking credit for the new subscribers as I gave you a shout on my channel the other day 😉 Great work as always bud!! If waste pipe solvent welding was an Olympic Sport!! 😁

Great content as per bud👍🏻 You have this innate ability to make me feel anxious whilst watching your vids, that fixed point waste job and outside tap had me sweating a bit! 😂

Nice one Mark

Mark can’t believe you didn’t check pressure operating pin gland ? ….I’ve never forgotten to check the obvious first and I’ve always told lies 😂. It happens and no one will beat you up more than you do yourself when making these screw ups … as you say real world plumbing … great content buddy

Rrrr feel your pain on when you had to drain down again 😭😭😭😂

Nice video great content Mark have a good Easter roll on Wednesday's video

Great honest vid well done.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Great video 👍

Wow, drilling 'blind' through the wall. . . Thankfully you didn't ramp the tension up with ominous background music.

Wicked video as usual Brv…school boy error we all been there

Nice one mark top video

Just found your channel enjoying the vids

Awesome stuff as usual Mark. Isn't it just bum nipping when drilling outside taps. Some great content mate

Outside tap with built in check valve. Saves more ball ache under a tight cupboard. 🤝 it’s amazing how day to day jobs are an interesting watch!

Educational & entertaining 😆

Nice videos and Happy Easter 🐣 Mark. I did the same on 10mm olives for 8 rads last week. 😂 Junior hacksaw 👏

Thanks for all the great videos Mark, gradually catching up. On the outside tap, why do you use a compression tee into the existing supply rather than solder?

soon as you said that pipe stinks Mark I could smell it straight away... funny that!

Any chance of you showing us how you apply tape and paste? Really enjoying your videos, thanks for taking the time 👍🏻

Tbh though I wouldn’t check the pin if it looked like it was coming from the nut, i’d have 100% been in that same position. 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

Just spat me brew up at 15mins haha , life's a constant series of humbling experiences , know that feeling , why didn't I check the obvious

Hi Mark, love the videos. Not a criticism, but why don't plumbers use an open ended/combination spanner on the fittings, rather than the adjustable spanner/pipe grips. In my limited experience I find them easier to use and more managable in tight spaces etc. Cheers.

If I could have a never ending list of these sort of jobs I’d be a happy man 😂

Top man Mark.. Love seeing how fellow plumbing/ heating professionals face and overcome all the day to day real time issues we face in this lovely trade we chose.. Thanks for taking the time to film and upload 👍🏾

I fitted new tap revivors as tap was trickling when turned on,ball o fix leaked at slot,had to replace isolator, tap still trickling,turned out to be blocked aerator in tap spout 😢😢😂😂. As you say always check the obvious.......if you remember.lol

Keep up with the details video s'😁

Happy Easter Mark! 🥚 Quick question: what happened to the TMV you were trying to find under that tiled floor? Have I missed the video where you managed to find and repair/replaceed it?

Hi mark, I’m not going to talk about white rad valve or measuring from extractor fan. Just want to say great content.👍

Another great vid, thanks for sharing. Should you always fit a dcv when doing an outside tap?

Good video .. every days a school day ..cant beat the wet vac.. newly subbed .. 👍

Another top video Mark. I never put paste on olives. What paste do you use? Do you paste every olive?

I've learnt to use my grips to remove the olive 7out 10 times you can move it and whip it off

hi m8 steady away jobs a lot more fun than stuck on site lol

Hi Mark, You mentioned that you were going to use loctite 55, I presume you meant remove the rad tail and use it on there, also do you use the loctite if you are fitting tails to a new rad and is it better than PTFE tape. cheers, eddie.

Im sure most outside taps now incorporate a double check valve inside the tap itself

if you remove the valve always put a new one .

“Right lets get on with the video” then an ad comes up 😭🤣

Interesting, just curious why you use solvent weld rather than pushfit as per the other side of the soil stack?

haha watched first 30 sec brilliant:P hope your ok. tell the builders painters etc the same! it's not just food bits.

gone from push fit to push shit. Another great video. Thanks

When looking for leaks allways go above the leak as water can run down the pipe 👍

A sharpie marker bungs rad tails nicely

Another honest video Mark Happy Easter

Do you have an olive extractor? Brilliant piece of kit. I sliced my finger once hacksawing a brass olive off!

Can you explain why you didnt use the hole where the old boss was on that outside pipe? I didn't see logic in creating a new hole, and bunging the old one, I must not understand something. Thanks.

😅 been there and done that with the trv myself mate. With it being a newish valve you just assume the pins not leaking. Theres just some cheap rubbish in this game now

On the brittle kitchen waste, I think I know the answer but why the 45s into the boss instead of 2 90s straight in, to help with drainage and blockages?

Mark why did you replace the valve with a plane white type and not a nice chrome type that was originally fitted?

I see you use brass olives. Is there a reason why plumbers don't use copper olives - which are obviously essential when joining brass fittings onto PEX and Speedfit?

whats the reason for the check valve on the outside tap??

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

Mark you could of took reference from the extractor fan vent, 👀 i think 🤔

👍

Azul fellak do you speak kabylan ? Thanks

What's that green plug called

Why do you cut a new boss and not just replace the old?

What are you using for cutting waste pipe now Mark? Did you get another Bix cutter or go for something else? Good bread and butter jobs. Outside tap for my house is on the list. Kitchens on the front gardens on the back. Only way I can do it is to tee off the bath feed and go out and drop it down the wall. My plan is to use a 12v solenoid isolator under the bath and wire it to a switch outside so I can isolate and drain it without running through the house.

🤘😎🤘

Why not go into the existing boss rather than put a new one in?

Was that a Monday morning?

That outside tap ,you could have taken a measurement off the extractor fan Grill on the wall. And maybe put a lever valve in the cupboard to make it easier for the punter to isolate.

Don’t you ever sleeve the hole in the wall before pushing the copper pipe through?

Recommend not to record while driving zero tolerance Your leaving yourself open to a fine and points 👍

Glad your back to your old self again. Still forgetful. 😁

The customer had chrome radiator thermostat valve and you replaced it with white one! Shouldn't you replaced it with chrome one to match with new radiator!

Change valves directly when they leak. Working twice and charge once is not OK.

Never assume it makes an ass of u and me lol

Squeaky bum time

Nice mate,with the TRV most plumbers on here they act like there shit doesn't stink and they never drop a bollock,there more concerned about using brasso 🥱
