Excellent stuff from you as always Tom. Call backs are a pain but you can’t fix what you can’t see.

Keep posting your great videos Tom ! You have a great deal of experience in so many areas , which makes the content so varied and interesting !

Unlucky with that leak Tom, you can’t see under the floor, I think you just got unlucky. Cheers for sharing the good and the bad ones 👏👏

Nice bit of scrap there mate 💰 That's the plumbing gods sending you that to make up for the leak 👌

Just unlucky Tom unfortunately, I've had a few over the years and its a horrible feeling when you get the call. Great video mate 😎👍

Great video Tom, felt for you on that, we have all been there. Super unlucky :( I’ve had it before on copper, a joint snapping under the floor but thankfully never speedfit!

Love it, well done again. Had a call back this week for a new basin mixer I'd fitted, turned out that the tap body was leaking between the cast and the brass insert. Took a minute or two to suss that one out, you're always expecting it to be something you've made a hash of. See you next time.

YTW , heart used to sink when you saw the red line, another interesting vid Tom, keep them coming, and hope you have a good weekend and aren’t working it like me 🤪👍🚽

I felt for you on that one Tom. Hopefully your client knows your work ethic and understood the situation.

Quality video Tom

Bummer that leak but obvs wasnt your fault.. but you soldier on as usual.. thanks for the vid and look forward to the next one. 😊 have a nice weekend tom.

My heart allways sinks when a customer says " its an easy job this one", kiss of death, you just know it especially on a Friday afternoon. By heck Tom that looked tight under that bath, at least you were able to twist the fittings. Have you thought about the tapex kit, I had the jaw droppers for ten or so years but found the tapex spanners give you miles more articulation for awkward angles etc Jeez that call back what a bummer, who would have known, just one of them things Tom, either way you dealt with it well as allways. It still amazes me how much asbestos is, still in situ these days. Another cracking vid buddy, hope you have a restful weekend. Rob

Good to see the asbestos part,i don't think a lot of people are aware of how much is still about in older commercial buildings,i do maintenance for pubs, and before we start a job the sites have an asbestos register that shows its presence and we have to sign to say we've read it,great work as usual.

Hi Tom, under that bath was horrible and the dreaded plastic to contend with also. The call back is always a nightmare, I have been there too once or twice, as you know I’m not a plastic fan. Hope you got it sorted and all is well now. A nice weigh in with all that copper and brass for you, have a great weekend and as always, take care. 🍻👍👍👍

Great vid. It amazes me how long that ticking bomb has been waiting to leak but hasn't, you nudge it a bit and then bang you've got a leak. Hopefully your clients understand it wasn't your work and the person before you. As always great content 👍

Very unlucky with that Speedfit, but does show how it’s a bit crap compared to copper. Great video, as always - thanks for making it.

Quality mate and I love the honesty. You get some difficult jobs mate, how the hell did you manage to get that bath tap off.......10/10 !!! As an amateur plumber I never use plastic pipe and fittings........I know there is a time and cost implication etc but 'do it proper, use copper' is my way of doing things.

You can never depend on plastic fittings, at some stage the will always fail even if look at them 🤦‍♂️ Good Video Tom 👍👍🤜

Good work Tom, your not supper man with X-ray vision 😂the last one must have only had speed fit on his bike ,or it may of been a horse as it looks a bit of a cowboy job.very good vlog 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love to see more plant rooms mate

Great video Tom though not your fault least you had the decency to rectify it good on you m8t…had that asbestos been encapsulated m8t….

We kept getting called out to a leak through a ceiling in a flat that only happened at night time. Eventually the floor above was taken up and we found 2 JG push-fit tees that hadn't been locked into place. They would be fine in the daytime but when the pressure went up at night they then would start to leak!

I’m surprised that you used them push fit isolation valves. Any how your videos keep them coming good job.

I'm not a heating engineer or plumber but those speedfit plastic connectors give me the ad dabs, I'm never too confident on those especially like with the array of fittings you had under that bath, a disaster waiting to happen if you ask me. The leak wasn't your fault, but I feel your pain when things like this happen.

Great video again Tom thanks out of interest when you need to connect onto YTW can you use standard compression fittings? or will the pipe collapse or is it a matter of soldering to connect to YTW Thanks

Great video, Tom - thank you. Any pointers you can give me as I'm considering installing my own central heating system? It's the whole job, oil tank, boiler, rads and pipework ALL required as there's currently no heating. My biggest worry is connecting up the boiler incorrectly and not adhering to today's regs. I heard rads need to have their own 'zones' - any reading material you can suggest? Cheers.

I've only got one rule when using or renewing push fit... all joints accessible with access hatches. I've lost jobs when I've speced up for the extra access but hey ho... we've all learnt the hard way

not the best place to get in at them fittings,you did your best tom

Plastic is fantastic until it goes wrong! It’s always proper in copper! Great content again Tom !

I left a bleed vent open on a gravity fed system when I was a apprentice flooded the garage the ceiling coke down then as well I earned 0 pounds that week 😂😂

Frigging hate working on baths why are they always tight against the wall, felt for you on that one Tom

That red line copper pinholes alright , had that when converting to an unvented cylinder, week later it's leaking like a sieve 😯 . Went to a job yesterday afternoon, so called plumber went into a loft to change a float valve, thought he'd turned the mains cold off and didn't check , chopped the pipe and flooded through the airing cupboard into the kitchen. Not a great day for him 😂 . Everyone makes mistakes, sometimes you get lumbered with other people's cr@p jobs.

What an absolute dogs dinner of pipework and fittings 🤦‍♂️ you were unlucky with that one Tom

You do make hard work of some jobs I have been watching, why didn't you cut away the ply floor to give you more access to the push fit connectors.

It isn’t the going wrong that can be the problem, it is how we respond to fix it that really matters, no perfects in the world after all.

Decent but when you did your blender I also would have stripped the taps then done your blender. That just looked really hard.

Think the issue is theyve done the secondary return in plastic which is not allowed

I'm guessing that whoever fitted that didn't manage to push it together because it's in such an awkward place.

new watch strap needed lol

When there's a leak on plastic it often turns out to be a speedfit fitting that's the problem. I much prefer polypipe fittings with its fixed grab ring but I don't think the pipe itself is as good as speedfit.

🤘😎🤘

Weird how with copper you try to fasten it with clips and keep everything looking neat but with plastic you rarely see anything clipped and the pipes are all over the place. I’m guessing you can get nearly plumbed plastic pipes but not here….. Was that genuine Speedfit that was crumbling? Hardly permanent.

Nothing worse than a call back mate, pipework looked like a Friday afternoon job! You can’t blame yourself for unluckily disturbing a previously leaking fitting.

Hey Tom, new subscriber. Have been going through all your all vids. Learning lots from you. What brand is your compression fitting spanner? Thanks

Considering this wasn't really your fault, did the customer pay for the callback/repair of the leak/ceiling?

Also Tom.. why didn't you just swap out the tap bodies... the less interference with that dogs dinner pipework the better I would of thought... Anyway mate... your a top engineer so don't be hard on yourself..

we have all been there , nothing wrong with with using john guest but just wish people would use their cir clips , thats not a dig but no one uses them

How can it be your fault if it was under the floor that was not visible with a old crappy plastic speed fittings. Someone cobbled the job before you. Good thing you recorded the first visit for liability reasons I know people who records all there work. They don’t post everything but they keep a tripod or a chest mount

Unless they’re old…why would anyone want/have a TMV on their bath. The hot water wouldn’t be hot enough

Tom are you self employed??

Ytw is a nightmare taken loads of it out over the years

I had some dipstick on Facebook the other day saying that plumbing is by far the easiest trade because you can just google the regulations and watch KZfaq video's. Ok, mate. Try doing this!

Very hard to explain to sone customers when its not your fault , it was ok before you called......... 😢😢

Stupid putting a fitting under the floor with no access

All that scrap!! Amazing!! Think about all the Beer Vouchers with that lot!!💷💷💷

well weave all done that
