Real world plumbing, not everything you have to see online is shiny copper

Drop us a message mate

I don’t understand what you mean

@@SmartPipePlumbing He means drill holes in the vinyl flooring for the basin feeds

Love proving people wrong. Thanks for the support mate. Atleast if your not going to put acces pannals in make sure it’s solvent not pushfit. What happened to making sure mechanical joints were accessible

Drop us a message or email and I can sort you out with some

6mm and 8MM 120 in each box and there £2 each

Thank you mate, MJ tiff is one top guy at the top of his game 🙌

Set the standard 😂 speak for yourself sounds like your work is good

Roughly about £10 depends where you are and how much

Thank you, it is lvt flooring and you can get it from most hardware stores or bathroom show rooms

Thank you! Cheers!

I didn’t charge them any more for fixing the leak as I think I’d caused it doing the first fix. In regards to pricing I usually work out how long roundly it’s going to take and charge a day rate plus materials and other trades. Then I’ll add a little extra on the end for profit if there room left for some

I pay a lot less than that for a single fitting. Some people love it some people are against it it’s each to there own

I know it was fitting the old towel rail and I was going to swap it round but the bottom was slightly rusted

Good shout 🙌

Cheers mate 🙌

I do the same but how often do the tilers cut a nice big 32mm hole anyways...and they don't even get the pipe in the middle.

Good tip pal I should really start doing that

Glad you enjoyed it

If you’re interested drop me a message on instagram or Facebook or email info@smartpipeplumbing.co.uk

You do right, just gives you the peace of mind

Myself 6 days but needed plastering and tiling. Took a while to dry to be fair so that too a few days up. So in total 13days

@SmartPipePlumbing good to know, just checking in on how long it takes others, sometimes you wonder if your going quick enough.

Tell me about it

Personally I think it just finishes it of nice nicely. Thanks for the support though 🙌

Yeah paid same day as completion which is always nice

I don’t know the exact measurements to be honest

Normally need to leave around 30mm on but they do vary slightly, just don’t leave pipe flush with chrome barrels or they cut washer up when tightening…. But don’t cut short either cause ya ain’t soldering a coupler on 😂

​@adamjeffery6909 yeah good luck with that, a coupler wouldn't help you.

For myself I only do domestic so don’t used much 28mm. The rp115 is significantly cheaper than others aswell. The angle jaws are a little bit of a problem but hopefully they bring them out soon in the uk as the already have them in America

I tend to work out how long it will take in days then you know your day rate. Speak to other trades see how much they want and then materials on top

See it all the time, pure laziness. Not sure I agree with the spreading the weight thing. I used to do it but stopped as i was never convinced

Thanks for the support mate 🙌

I prefer the composite one full waterproof and not flimsy at all. Don’t think it turned out bad at all the pipe work. There was max about £10 worth of fittings

@@SmartPipePlumbing if you think that the pipework turned out OK then that's concerning ! It was a new install where if you had taken the proper time to set it out you wouldn't have had that carnage of copper pipework and strangled fkexys . You'd of already known tbe limited space at the tap end available because the bath was on site. But you just do what you always do on nearly every bathroom I've watched, you make mistake after mistake because you're rushing and no forethought goes in. You're either pricing it soo tight so you end up throwing it in. Maybe how you view it is different because you've not been shown how it should be done with time planning and forethought & preparation. 1st fixing properly is paramount on any job . That's where you trip yourself up because you're always in a rush or don't have the materials so make do with what's on the van. You know you have jobs coming up so you make sure you're stocked up.

@@actorlyric alright mr perfect, mistakes happen and you learn from them. Everything does the work different. If I do it different to you that’s fine if you do it different to free down the road that’s fine. No one’s perfects everyone makes mistakes it’s about how you deal with them and move forwards. I don’t generally keep a stock on the van, not one that I keep up to as all the jobs I do vary that much. So I get what I need when I need it. Again it’s each to their own, if that’s how you run your business that’s fine but don’t come here criticising mine. Me making this sort of content isn’t for that. It’s for helping me learn and also maybe helping others, and also creating a community of like minded people.

@@SmartPipePlumbing I wasn't trying to be a smart arse far from it . I was lucky to work for a company that drilled it in to me about doing things properly and if I didn't then I had to rip it out and do it again even If a pipe had a ripple in it ! Yes I have the value of hindsight and nearly 50 years under my belt. Certainly doesn't make me the best or a know it all. I see a really good guy stepping out on his own which is hard enough. I was 26 and terrified when I did. I have had things beaten in to me on how things should be even if you can't see them. So over time I became a perfectionist because if i didnt do it properly id be ripped in to, which isn't a good thing I also had my dad who worked for an engineering company who worked to tiny tolerances and had to be spot on so I had that to contend with. I was once told a great installer can chuck it in but a poor one can't do it neat ! I worked during the housing boom in the 80's on new build & it was like the wild west I'd never seen anything like that in my life as it was literally chucked in. Radiators hung in the wall with cut nails , pipes in the tanks burnt through with pipe. Probably that's why I never made alot of money doing site work because I was too neat! I wasnt going to sacrifice what I'd been taught. My perfectionism also comes from at the time undiagnosed adhd for the past 63 years ! Now I let things slide just a little as I dont do the big jobs anymore I do more reactive as my back and knees are fcuked .

Still not had to use mine yet I’m hoping to keep it that way aswll

No unfortunately not it’s tiled first the vinyl floor goes down

Vinyl tiles don't expand.

@@stepbackandthink I think the flooring is going to be vinyl boards, not tiles, which normally would require an expansion gap depending on whether they were glued down or clicked together

@@sidremey Usually neither need expansion by nature of the material.

I’ve seen it happen first hand and then they try to fill it with silicone 😂

Same🥴

I’ve made that mistake, I’ve learnt a lot from my mistakes so I’m thinking of making a few more

Yeah mate

Glad it’s not just me been paranoid

Never had no problems mate. Each to there own I suppose

@SmartPipePlumbing you have you just don't no it . They've just got someone else to come a replace it with something proper. Mdf and water mate come on . I've been doing bathroom 16 year high end bathrooms aswell you need to be able to guarantee your work. You can't with mdf on a bath

Yep Halite at a minimum. Rim of the bath rubs and paint gets worn then MDF blows 🤦🏻 ​@@matthewsmyth2833

I'd genuinely be interested to see if the tiler is there tomorrow - no way thats gonna be dry enough to tile dude. Not hating either - decent watching (from a fellow West Yorkshire bathroom fitter 👊🏻)

@@chriscorbett6580 I'm leaving this a week before tiling, but it's only a skim coat so might get away with it, if the weather is hot.

I used to to be honest. But stopped recently when there on old boards that ain’t damaged

I never screw bath feet directly to floor boards. Normally use a hardwood strip. Floorboards are just to thin.

Because he didn’t measure bath before pipe install

I thought that while editing. But I can assure you they are. I think it’s just the angle of the camera. Definitely will be the first think I’m checking in the morning 😂

Yeah definitely need a new one 😂😂

🙌🙌

Thanks mate

I did an apprenticeship and got my NVQ levels 2,3,4

Very welcome
