I'm not a plumber and nor will I become one, but I love your videos. I find it incredibly interesting to find out more about how the stuff that fills our houses actually work. Was worried when you disappeared for a while and was very happy to see you back! Nice to see Marcus again too.

Insurance is a rip off - they always do this Depriciation B/S - but NEVER facter in about inflation !! - save your insurance money every year in a piggy bank and buy a van vault - or remove them every night - its THE only way to beat them - and NEVER BUY A TRANSIT - ther too easy !!

Thanks for your videos. Much appreciated by me. I changed career at 43 and going through the process to become a heating engineer. I do minor plumbing and handyman jobs at the moment after being a cook for 27 years. Thoroughly enjoy the challenges and find watching you and a few other blokes gives me confidence and awareness to tackle jobs. Like baking a cake you need to follow a process. And like a cook takes 10 years to know the game well. I prefer the hours these days. All the best 👍

I closed one eye when you held that injector up 😂

I could spend ages telling you how much I enjoy your install videos. I'll keep it simple, you're a pleasure to watch, and a credit to your trade!

Pete NEVER THINK ITS BORING, You perform tasks that MANY people don’t do, and if they have they can skip the video….You worry way too much about what people think, just do what you !!! I speak for myself, i really enjoy watching you and all your pals do what you do and wish i had a 1/4 of your knowledge!!! On top of all so many plumbers here. In the USA wont even bend like you do, which i think looks soooo much better than just using elbows, etc…

A real eye opener regarding the insurance. Dont envy you guys , enough pressure without the scrotes lurching in the shadows

Not boring mate. Enjoy them a lot.

Woot ! Another PB video ! Glad you're back Pete !

Superb video again!

Great job and happy Sunday to three of you mate 👍🏼👌🙂 Mark is definitely professional whole maker indeed 😁

Happy Sunday indeed. Well done mate!

Great video. Started back in 1979 and although i dont do it as such anymore but still love to watch this stuff . Like dads and plumbers all over i still pass places i did stuff and occasionally mention it to family including a memory you triggered here , a full system with a Camray oil boiler and on the day of my 30th birthday i helped my mate who arrived to convert the Aga to oil and i had to drill the oil line like your prv , only it was sandstone and thicker . So in my mind the videos are very relevant. So thanks for all the effort you put in to do it .

Another great, interesting video and varied too. Nice to have you back and posting weekly now.

Happy Sunday mate, let's enjoy the coffee now with pb

Your work is truly phenomenal 👏

I enjoy watching other skilled men work. It’s nice hearing you vocalise your mindset and it helps inform my thinking. Different trade obviously but following along an expert is never boring! There’s a reason why you’ve so many subscribers and views big man! More power to you!

About 4 years ago a sparky I knew got all his milwaukee tools stolen. He was with Direct Line at the time. He got told to go out and buy new tools so he can carry on working and to send them the receipts of the tools he had and the receipts of the new tools. He got reimbursed the cost of the new tools. Needles to say I'm with Direct Line.

I'm not a plumber either, but I really enjoy your videos. Why? Because you're really good at your profession and it's fun to watch. Your pipe bending and lagging work is pure art. Don't say it's boring, because we don't think it's boring. Sorry about the lad losing his tools. It was very interesting to hear about his experience with insurance. I hope he is able to recover all of his kit and get back to full work soon.

Nice one, PB, was really interesting taking us through that boiler install. But your mate with the van break-in, that was real life, and real life plumbing. Could be real life any trade, because it is an occupational hazard for tradespeople, to have wretched others scouring around like rats, thieving from your van. Nice your mate was honest, bare bones, is-what-it-is, making me more aware of tool insurance and current status on van break ins. More should be done when these thieves are caught, because they steal to order, to sell off, what you as a tradesperson have had to learn, mould, maintain. Some tools simply do the job themselves, you've had them so long and well. Other than your four limbs, your wallet and mobile, your van is your next limb. Has all you need for the day's work, months and years' worth of tools, and it is party to your way of earning an honest living. You work the day, you come home, and it's either you spend more time emptying the van, when you're possibly tired and hungry, or you leave it for the next day. Having to drive back through possible peak traffic, it's the last thing on your mind. Park up, get in, shower, food, rest, bed. But it seems realistically you have to fend for yourself, there's little to no deterrence enough, you're left to pick up the pieces. You guys are 👍👍👍

YEAH BOY ! Whooop COME ON, GET IN ANOTHER PB, HAPPY SUNDAY

Very good and sad times for Billy, however was very informative 👍

About time, I was wondering when a video was coming

Billy is actually the funniest man on insta. They guy is a constant joke and great plumber heating eng

Never boring pal. Always learn something

Sunday routine. Make sandwiches for tomorrow. Check jobs for tomorrow. Make a brew. Watch Pete. Sunday nights are better when PB is here. 👍🏻

Great design at velocity btw

Not boring, good videos! Probably around £50-£60 for the callout.

I learned the hard way no tool insurance didn’t have a theft but my van caught fire lost everything nothing was salvageable. Still trying to get all tools together that you forget you had. Van insurance only gave me enough to get some power tools and a few bits. Pete helped me massively can’t thank him enough! Still no van but I’ll get there.

Very informative , I think you need to spend the money on deterrents IMO locks anti vibration ,PIR ETC

I'm near Cambridge. I'd charge around £75 for the shower job,based on 10 minutes each way and during normal office hours. Weekend it may be £95 to £105 . Good to see you back. 👍🏻

Congratulations on the swim thats mega

Great little cameo from Billy, I've been done twice with my van, same process with the depreciation on tools etc, I understand the logic but its still ridiculous that we get punished.

Nice accurate video Dan . Poor chirag😢

That’s I use a SUV car to use for work. More reliable than a van and it doesn’t look like Iv got tools in it

your pride in ya work is rare these days pipework awesome be great if we didnt have to lag the artwork.

Great video.. i would charge my minimum charge of £70 for the saniflow job.

Rhino would have known Billy was a plumbing influencer so he got the celebrity treatment. We’d get a small bag of haribo.

Best thing you can do is that your hand tools and power tools in on a night it takes 5 minutes and atleast if your van gets broken in to you can still go to work the next day

That boiler piping is impressive but anyone who's not in the trade and some who are but arent aware won't know hard thta was to make it decent

never seen lagging inside a kitchen .. fair play.

Absolutely disgusting getting the van broken into and tools stolen, really feel for you bro. Would be interesting to see how much the insurance premium goes up after the claims when its time to renew policys, i guess it will be another hidden expence unfortunately

I got done when I was an apprentice tool gone out my boot and a lot later I had my vans Done twice happy days

For the call out, depends where it is. Quorn £120. Sileby £1.20

🔥🔥🔥

Very neat job 👏 my wife has friends in Perivale, they have a Worcester Bosch CDi, its > 10 years old, I feel its never been properly serviced by BG I recommend a Viessmann 200W 35kW Combination Boiler, as a very good replacement 👌 & save them money on gas bills 👍 I wonder what's your workiing area ? I've no idea to be honest, it's a thought for the future for them, BG are charging them for pressing a reset button not opening the Greenstar CDi up

Top work I would of charged them a standard call out charge of 60+vat

Don’t worry about ph with stainless heat x

Hey PB love you videos Question 🙋‍♂️ What do you say about heat pumps???

👍👍👍

I need to remember the ‘o whoops’ I’ve dropped the PH tester in the sink of fresh water technique……… nice nice Wink wink

£100 call out, I will never deal with tool insurance ever again got denied my money reported the insurance company for independent review and were in the end forced to pay me out 3 months later never again the stress was nearly heart attack material.

£80 plus vat and recommendations to attach signage to socket to avoid future callouts, £80 plus vat 😂 And van insurance isn’t worth it unless you had all receipts and nobody does. It’s a con, might aswell just spend that insurance money per year on security

That Saniflow switch needs swapping for an unswitched fused outlet and labelling accordingly.. Charge I'd say £120.

What's the insurance premium every year to be added and the increase because of a claim. Also add tracking tags in bags and boxes.

80 to 100

Next time when you're sanding a pipe like that use pliers first to get the hard loose paint off

Tool theft is out of control in and around London, not sure in rest of country but probably the same

One cat with adhd 😂😂😂

I heard about a tool register where you can list your tools serial numbers etc, and upload the receipts, can't remember the name of it now, do you know Pete

Usually charge £40 for a job like that but looking in the comments I think I need to put my prices up! Near Manchester

I fitted 2 Van guardian alarms to my van, touch sensitive deterrent!!! This, I’m hoping, will scare them off on initial attempt and also prevent damage to doors. I also have van vault for added security. These w&nk£rs who break into peoples vans need to be stopped!!! Police don’t do anything so take it on yourself to do the work. I don’t have tool insurance just for the simple fact that a lot of my tools are well over 5-8 years but still there worth a lot to me, without them you can’t do your job. Keep your tools safe people!!!!!!

Billy, depreciation shouldn't be the same figure every year EG, £100 cost, £10 1st year, value now £90 so £9 second year & so on, sorry about your loss.

If you were paying £160 per year insurance, how much has your insurance gone up now?

29:08 back your back doors of the van against a brick wall

Saniflow call-out definitely £120 standard rate

£60 🤝

Tool insurance is a fuckin con having them decide what a tool is worth. They asked me do I have any tools worth over 200 quid and if there was any they would negotiate a price with me, so I asked if I could negotiate the policy price. They want the money but don't want to pay out

Going to a house and fixing something….regardless if it’s just a button you press….im a minimum of £65 plus vat

Get top security installed and a hard wired dash cam. That way hopefully the scumbags just leave it alone and pick an easier target.

I didn’t think you are allowed to cut the prv pipe down on a vaillant ?

£50, South Devon.

80 quid call out charge unless it's a single mum or elderly tenant

31:00 Take the model and serial numbers of your tools, buy Apple Airtag fit that in somewhere let the police track it 👍

£70 plus vat Why is boiler lagged, covering all that lovely copper work

£85.00 Northwest.

Because you had to tell your van insurance will they increase your policy fee

mate you got screwed over going with rhino my insurance I questioned everything before I signed up all they ask for is receipts and bank statements and basically I go and buy the tools and they send me the money for them they only depreciate after 4 years for mine pete how come your lagging inside like that and also does it matter which way round flow and return is is there bi directional valves

Why 3 of ya on a boiler swap How's u work out bill wiv u and another firm

Id be careful explaining what kind of security system you have, especially if it was wireless, blockers are too easily accessible, id of pushed for more money also, it's all cool with depreciation but what if you only used the tool once or twice, hasnt really made its money back, not covering radios is sacrilege as its the most important tool in the van, hope he gets back on his feet asap

£60 call out charge with travel included

PB, why did you leave Trade Legends?

Charge between £90-£120 - (it's a call out !) ?

Rhino trade insurance was on uni-lite podcast saying they know people cant keep receipts forever so they dont realy ask for them during a claim and that it was straight forward, doesnt sound straight forward tbh.. which was a big selling point for me going with rhino... seems asif they insure you take your money then palm you off and that rhino is just a broker and its the ACTUAL insurance company policies you stuck with as rhino dont insure you... anyways who keeps receipts for so many years! Seems a scam! Would it not be better to ask for receipts when you get the quote at the start.. i think i will be looking around for some other tool cover..

I’d charge £65 for the call out 👍

£90 I’d say is good

Tool insurance is a rip off. Rhino seem ok for some insurance but tool insurance from them IS a rip off. I’ve heard so many people get very little from a claim. I’ve got admiral tool box new for old. £180 per year, so £20 more than rhino rip off. Hope I never have to test their system out.

Lagging them pipes is pointless.. surely it’s a heated room being a kitchen ..?

First hour change of £65.

£70 call out to buy a brother label Printer to label the fused spur and future items that require labels 🎉🎉🎉

Tool receipts: No good if your decades into your career and been buying kit since 16 yrs old.......................... BASTARD insurance have you over a barrel despite taking your money. 👎👎👎

The fact they came back again shows that they know the police don’t give a shit..

£80+vat for the shower call out. Essex / North london

And stuff nicked on site

Insurance is a scam… after hearing this I’m seriously considering cancelling it

£80 total

£155 + VAT

70 plus vat

£70 possibly

£120 call out
