Thanks for doing what you do on KZfaq really lifts my days up as I'm autistic

I always silicone the holes for the shower. Those shrouds aren't water tight so water hitting off your body creep behind the shroud and then go down the back of the wall. Usually a call back in months later but seen it happen a few times. The old boy at work always told me to do that as an apprentice but to only cover hole cut out the tole not splash it everywhere so you can't take the shrouds off like the mess they done in the video. Always best to make sure a shower area is 110% water tight. Lovely video Pete! Amazing guy! Hope your old man gets well soon buddy.

Easy tiger.!Black nuts mark up very easy .love the videos .keep them coming .inching we all have bad days / weeks no matter how qualified or how much experience we have .it's just the job we have to do sometimes things are inevitable .glad ya dad's OK 👍

Brings backs lot of memories , those jobs you have done, I was a maintenance plumber for a brewery, and I did loads of unpleasant jobs like that, one in particular was a blocked drain and transpired that it was a baby at the bottom of the manhole. Apparently a misscarage. I was only a young lad at the time. Pleased your dad's ok pete. Thanks

Hi with those Drayton 3 ports you need to pop the cir clip off the spindle, tap the spindle down inside the valve leaving enough exposed to get hold of with pliers! then squirt oil into the hole, pull spindle back out and re fit cir clip. Frees them off properly rather than just giving it a wiggle.

Glad your Dad is ok Pete and fair play for having a go with that backed up bog, Top Man!

Having suffered two TIA's myself last year, I realise how alarming they can be, especially for those around you at the time whom witness the effects. All the best to you and yours going forward 👍

Great to show everyday plumbing Pete, pleased to hear your dad is on the mend. 👍🏻👍🏻

I am not a plumber but enjoy your videos keep going

Great vid P.B!! Thank you x

Hope your pops a speedy recovery. Glad to hear he's well and good 👍.

PB the one handed plumber! Legendary mode activated! Best wishes to your dad.

I'm glad your dad is well now. It takes lots of strength to carry on whit the work despite the hard times sometimes life giving us. You are awesome and even I'm doing this work for 10 years I'm watching all your videos and picking up new tips all the time. I wish you all the best and keep up the good work

Great video PB 👍

Hi Pete wishing all the best for ur dad. Great video as always. 👍🏻keep it up

I'm glad your dad is better now, sending my regards. My grandfather had a double stroke 2 years ago now, he's fully recovered luckily as I know some are not as fortunate. Keep your head up mate,me and my family are sending our best wishes and regards.

Thank you for taking the time making these videos 👌🤓 Very educational as always

I like the way you think I also like all your videos

Good luck mate with your dad xxxx I had one a few years ago and am fine .plenty of new tablets but am fine so your dad should be fine. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I know mental illness all to well, glad to see your doing better. Great video.

Hi Pete, I’m a plumber in Coventry, it amazes me how you can do so much WELL with one hand¡ Thanks for your vídeos I find them truly inspiring. Kind regards, Mark.

So glad feeling better P.B especially after I watched you live. I was actually worried for you and with dad too wow ( so glad he’s ok too ) being ill next day just proves how strong can be when push comes to shove. Keep chin up got to look forward to getting out of letting agency’s and getting nice old ladies offering tea every 5 mins (hopefully lol). Great video always goes though my mind how quick would be with two hands doing jobs. No don’t stop videoing though. Keep safe and well bud

Terriffic video. Loved the interaction with the customer and the one handed toilet repair😂 Glad your old man is okay👌🏼

Great video Pete, nice ending 🤣🤣 Glad your dad's doing well mate 👍

Something like that with your dad puts everything into perspective mate. Glad he’s ok. 👍🏻

“Not pissing out, that’s a good start” lol that’s what I say when turning off old isolator valves

Great video Pete best of wishes for your dad 👍🏻

One handed plumbing. Good job your not a window cleaner. You wouldn't be able to wring your cloths out.... Great video Pete. Hope you're dads ok.

Super happy to hear your Dad is O.K 🙏

Really glad your dads ok Pete great video as always probably the dreaded flushable wipe’s rammed in there or collapsed pipe still hope they get it sorted 👍

Hope your old mans alright now pb, thanks for another great video

Glad your dad's OK, family come first. As someone who has their ups and downs as well know you're not alone. It's good you feel you can talk about it that's the most important thing. Im off to college to retrain as a plumber next year at the age of 37 so I'd be interested in your apprenticeship packs. 👍

All the best to your dad. Hope he's well ..

Great video PB, hope your dads well 👍🏼

Also glad your dad is ok pete. 🙏

Great vid pete again glad your dads okay 👍🏼 🔥

Ball valve one handed, respect 👍

Hope your dad is ok, I’m glad he’s on the mend! Family first 👌🏻👍🏻

Respect to you.

Scratching the wall with your screwdriver in ur hand, dropping tools and taps on the floor and undo-ing threads scratching black paint on something customers won’t be too happy with

Love my smooth jaw Knipex,best tool ever!

I remember my dads first stroke. It’s scary stuff, glad to hear he’s okay. I had a shower like that in a solid wall clad in wooden wet wall panels. I had to carefully widen the openings so they could still be covered by the shrouds and sweat the elbows off. I then dug out some long tailed street elbows and soldered them in, I was worried it wouldn’t work but it did so I was pretty chuffed with that job.

I've seen a few of them drainage issues. A mop is probably a better choice than a plunger at times but that will probably off experience be caused by baby wipes blocking somewhere from them or further down the main drain. Like you said pete the drainage company should be shifting that before any plumber goes in to work on the toilet 👍

Nice job well done on the shower, I'm so glad I only work on commercial buildings 😁 looking at the letting jobs you do.

Glad to hear your dads ok. Olive puller gets them brackets off 👍

hi m8 good vid on every day problems send my best to your dad ,,, i do know how it feels i was a joiner for 30 years 3 heart attacks later cant work mental anguish you go through is worse than any work could throw at yous take care m8

I hope your dad as well and good health Regards Faruk

Hope your Dad is ok. I think the hotel will be much better after a few months of your repairs!

Glad your Dad's OK but make sure you get him fully checked over!

All the best to your dad

Great video as always. I’m glad your father is ok. My father passed away last week from a stroke. He went to sleep and didn’t woke up 😭

Glad your Dad is getting better. Great content again. Some letting agencies are a disgrace. How can us plumbers exert some influence on getting swifter remedial action for tenants in this position?

proper job

Great video mate. I hate the showers like that one. Also im getting as bad as you for velocity bags.. love my 1.5 van organiser too, great little bag and so adaptable for many uses. I will be buying shares in them soon 🤣🤣

Nice one Peter.....hope your dads feeling better scary stuff when its your own family.....i got out of doing letting agency work years ago because unless its high end stuff they don't give a toss about the tenants until they stop paying the rent then they just evict them and get some other poor sod to replace them...... Cheers

With all them baby wipes down the toilet you can see why it's blocked. My sister had an issue in her house because the tenants next door where chucking baby/wet wipes down the toilet.... And looking at the state of the house you can see the tenants are not clean.

Hi Pete, just heard you saying about your dad, please please keep an eye on him, from my first aid teaching days , quite often a TIA is a forerunner to a full stroke, so look for medication etc to offset the the possibilities of a full stroke 👍

I know how you feel mate I had a heart attack and Tia in 2018 and this Wednesday I had another heart attack glad your dad is okay

Those Drayton valves. If you look at the spindle there’s a u clip it’s tiny. If you hook that off you can push the spindle fully in and out and get some silicone on it there’s a matrix of washers so no water will come out. Best way to clean them up and get them fully free

I was surprised you didn’t change the ball valve as it looked pretty knackered

Awful to hear about your Dad, but good news about him being on the mend, all the best

Hope your dads doing well, that last job is an absolute disgrace how a drainage company could be so ridiculous is beyond me

Bloody hell that's grim as a landlord myself golden rule is always look after the tenant hope they get sorted especially with a new baby

Glad all well with dad matey. I keep missing the chance to see what paste you use on compressions? Keep doing what you are doing, great viewing and great content as always 🔥

I know you did cut the hole but who ever did should have drilled a small hole and stuck a camera in to see where to cut a piece out. There aren't too expensive I've got a draper one that was 30 quid from toolstation. If you guys don't have one it's worth pick one up it will surprise you how much it will come in handy.

Nice video! I hope you get your dad investigate because TIA isnt normal and suggest something major might happen.

Good to hear your dad's ok mate and doing well.Dat toilet wuz de-gusting.Take my hat off 2 u avin a go at it.Don't blame u 4 wantin 2 git out of the letting agency side of tings.

Glad to here your dad is ok. Wicked pod cast with the interview you did with the uni lite bloke. Sorry can't remember his name. Great vid as alleys mate 👍

If the drainage is blocked, the landlord or estate agents should have the drain unblock first. I've had the same problem with my toilet. If you cannot unblock the toilet check the drain. 😲

3 port valve Drayton body, remove the circlip on the shaft. Smear small amount of silicone grease around the shaft. Get a pair of pliers and gently push the shaft in gentle about 10mm repeat in and out about four times. Put the circlip back on your done. Drayton valves are renowned for the O’s ring drying out.

Great video. I work as a handyman. No landlord work, not worth it.

Nothing really ever bothered me again after cleaning drain at a funeral home,used to pack our noses with eucalyptous rub!

I'm glad your dad ok Peter when you removed the motorised valve to loose the pin did you have to turn the power off great video.

Hi Pete, hope your Dad is ok, speedy recovery.

Sandwich in hand challenge accepted

Hope your father is OK, worrying time and makes us realise our work really isn't that important

Hey buddy! After watching your previous video regarding stress, from one gym using plumber to another please give a product called support max a go by a company called strom sports, it’s a cortisol management supplement and I assure you it will help you no end buddy I would never push anything I didn’t believe had benifits but as a competitive bodybuilder who is also a plumber I assure this will help bud! All the best

Please send your Dad our best 🤘😎🤘🙏

Handsome guy

nice vid pb. Ever thought about getting a tripod or a chest/ head mounted gopro?

Awful that the toilet would be left unusable for that long but you shouldn't be expected to work in a room that's left in that state anyways... a wc that's backing up hasn't created half the rubbish in the room....

Uber useful

look at the hard water dont have the issue in scotland

How can I get one of them van bags brilliant idea 👍

Look at the state of the place though, bleach bottles everywhere, crap all over the floor. The tenants clearly don't care.

Socket, olive, if i wasn't able to see what he's doing I'd be lost, no air chambers into the hot cold supply?

@ 34:53 R U telling me U NEVER went outside yourself & located the nearest Manhole cover & lifted it... Then take pictures U can show the letting agent...

Best wishes for ur dad. I know how busy you are but i had a query about the blocked plate heat ex and hope u can have time to reply, it will help me alot Much appreciated

I used to work for the council, council is 10x worse. But a lot of the time it's actually just the tenants with a council

Mate that last one was nothing compared to what the "drain addict" deals with over in Australia on his you tube channel 😀

What are your thoughts on the black fittings?

Could I ask why you cut off the olive is it not easier with olive pulling tools

So the drainage company said that as soon as somebody else unblocks the tenants' toilet, they'll unblock the tenants' toilet?

Don't you need to put sealnt again to avoid water behind the tiles?
