Well...I'm a self employed gas engineer (2 years and counting 😬🤞) and I was going to put my name down as the potential new owner for that thorough flush. But honestly, after reading these comments and hearing about how some of you lads have been treated after all the hard work you've put in through your careers, i don't feel like it would be going to the right guy! So instead I just want to say keep strong and good luck to all you engineers out there just trying to make a honest living 💪

Hi PB, I got sacked after 28years at British Gas. Started at 16 years old. Not as much as a thanks for your service. They’ve even taken back my old work boots, not forgetting to mention some tools I’ve looked after since I started. They will all end up in a skip. Totally spiteful behaviour. Looking forward to a new chapter in life working for myself. Thanks for your motivation!

Another top vid PB. After 16 years in the industry i've just taken the leap to go self employed as a one man band!. The tipping point was after working for a firm for 8 years i slipped a disc between L4 and L5 in January of this year. i had previosly never been off sick so this held me back from work for 2 months. No financial support which made me realise we are just a payroll number in these firms! Would be a great start to my van winning the thorough flush as i currently don't have a flushing machine. Keep up the vids, i'm sure it's hard work and very time consuming but your videos are very insightful and we all get something from them.

Beautiful, beautiful job at the church. The original plumbers who put the system in had it right but it lacked execution. You took it up a notch and improved the efficiency without creating an architectural sh@t show. Good on you. I know the church members are thrilled and will give you a great recommendation for future work. Also, your diagrams are a pleasure to see. Your excellent drawing ability should help you to get future work by showing the client what's what. Again, good on you.

Obviously PB you make a a difference in the plumbing world whether you have some freebees or you teach people via social media your own skills. Unfortunately, it’s shocking that not many people are happy to buy you a cuppa as this would simply show the appreciation as well as some respect to you. Anyway, I would be happy to be an owner of such a flush kit as I started out my own journey and I would like to make a difference in my community as well as area. East London isn’t known for good workmanship nor skilled people so I would be happy if I could be the one who is changing the plumbing scene and try to pull some people up and teach them the right way of plumbing. Again, a top notch video as well as the rewarding blockage clearance! Absolutely amazing how far you got to make people happy or even to gain new customers!! Thanks for showing that

Hi PB I’m not a ex BG ENGINEER (please don’t hold this against me) I’ve been made redundant from my employer after 9years of slavery, it was my first job in the industry and I’m going it alone. I saw your last video when you used the THOROUGH FLUSH and thought what a good idea as I’ve never come across this product before and wanted one, until I saw the price, I’ve even tried to make a home made version which didn’t go to plan. Would love to get my hands on this as it looks like a great bit of kit. Just wanted to say keep the videos coming, they really help a lot. 👍🏼

I’ve now got a deeper understanding of the install and domestic plumbing side of things thanks to you. I’m now starting as a one man band as I need some positivity back in my work. I would love to give the thoroughflush a go and use it in my day to day.
