Day in the life of a plumber | Leaks and hot attics 

My heart is in my throat when you’re soldiering around that insulation. 😂

Posting the difficult stuff is what makes your channel the best. Keep up the good work 😀👍

All your regular viewers know you would not leave anything unsafe and you work with the highest integrity.

Tom don't beat your self up over it mate i watched most if not all your videos and you one of the best gas engineers/plumber out there and its typical its happens .. head up you've let it off your cheast now .. please post the other video

I wouldn't let it get to you mate. Easier said than done I know but at the end of the day you was right in the end one of the best plumbers/gas engineers I have seen on any social media. I'm an apprentice even I could tell that 22 was enough. Probably never even touched a pipe slice in his life 🤣

Tom keep waiting for “ that’s going nowhere “ after you tighten something 😂😂 your the only plumber who doesn’t say it 😂😂😊

You can’t always remember how things go together as you work with so many different fittings. lol. I know the feeling. Those plastic fittings won’t leak, usually good seal and you’ve tightened it plenty.

That’s what make you stand out from the other plumbers on you tube you post the good and the bad Tom and you say it as it is . I really enjoyed the video keep them coming mate . Don’t worry about the gas safe inspection, you knew you was right all along it’s not worth dwelling on, just keep doing the good work you always do.

Tom you're a fashion icon,for the first time in my life I am now wearing a flat cap ,great video mate

Hi Tom, that inspector sounds like a right pain in the backside, I have very little patience with people like that these days, maybe I’m just getting too old. The job is looking good and coming along nicely now, I look forward to the next film, have a better week mate and take care. 👍👍👍

TOM IT WAS A FANTASTIC VIDEO.

Don't let it get to you Tom. You know you were right and we know you were right. I know what you mean about talking it through though, better than brooding about it. See you next time.

Good to talk Tom, you know your stuff and turn out quality work, so keep at it, always interesting, don’t worry about the Gas safe issue, at least he admitted he was wrong, you will have forgotten more than some of them know. 👍🚽

Great content as always Tom. I feel your frustration with that inspector and its not fair.👍👍

As usual Tom , a very enjoyable video to watch . It’s good how you mix it up with you install and bathroom work As for the inspector, I fail to see how he can look at your work and talk to you , then he considers a suspension .he must be one of the few low calibre inspectors around. Our local guy is sound as a pound I would try and put it behind you because nothing good will come out of it in the long run .

Good one Tom I’d post it and ask him to put it in writing that the boiler was at fault , because people relie on you to know that stuff , and he would obviously been right to work with you too see what was wrong instead of jumping in feet first , Nice work as always Tom looking forward to seeing the next one 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺

Don't mind the talking. It shows the details. Good video and good work. Overthinking things can sometimes eat away at you. As long as you left it safe which you did. Don't beat yourself up too much. 👍👍👍

Heat mat tom 🤣🤣

So is this the last of the soldering 😂? Crimper looks like a fun tool but I do like soldering....shows your craftmanship. Good job. Dont let the inspector get you down. We all havebto learn...and this was a learning opportunity for the inspector. Hopefully they'll be easier on the next person.

Good video and good workmanship as always Tom

Tom you painted your orange bucket/ tool bag! 🤣 Agree with one of the other comments. You always post some of the toughest jobs on here, be it domestic or commercial. Really interesting.

Well done again Tom top notch inspectors who would have them 🤣🤣🤔👏😎

A brilliant video Tom - personally I really enjoy your conversational style. I must admit to feeling itchy while watching you amongst all that insulation, but that may be because I’d just been in an attic myself! I understand your annoyance at the gas safe person - it would have been extremely annoying as well as embarrassing in front of a customer; he should really write to the customer and explain that you were correct!

you did a very good job well done👏❤❤

Tom, another very interesting video, thank you.

Good content Tom. Shame you didnt hear back with an official appology on the gas safe. Keep it up!

Great content as always Tom. Glad I'm now out of it Gas safe are a nightmare

Sounds like the gas safe guy needs to go back to college, don’t let it get to you Tom, you’re one of the industry good guys

merch opportunity tom's flat caps! bet thats few quids worth water pipe fittings!

You are doing your best Tom and posting it , you wouldn't post videos if you were doing a sh1te job , your jobs would be ripped to pieces by keyboard warriors. My mate ( sparks) had a similar experience with his inspection, was accused of not doing the testing. He said enough was enough and packed it in . He's now retrained and is teaching at a college. Keep plodding along Tom.

I hope you told customer that he'd called admitting he was wrong.

Feel for you mate i had an inspector make me look like a mug infront of a cliant for having the flue clips spaced 0.2mts over what the manufacturer instructions said it was bloody stupid as it was in the loft where no one goes but he wasent having any of it.

Sorry you had a bad inspector Tom. Seems to be a lot of people in this game who have an ego and have to prove they're right all the time. Usually they aint right and end up making themselves look a fool in the long run. You're one of the most knowledgeable plumbers on social media don't let it get you down. What sizes were the 2 fittings you used on the underground pipe?

I had fast forward you soldering around that big pile of insulation, I just couldn't watch that bit. I was hoping you were going to press. fit.

Tom the irony is someone who works on behalf of a ‘regulator’ did not realise the impact of a duff regulator. See what I did there.😉

Sorry you been through the mill mate feel for you. Do you worry about leaks when you leave a job? Sorry to plant seeds like that in your head but when I did electrics I guess I was too paranoid

Where’s Jacob when you need him. He could have done the soldering for you. 😂😂. Like you say any experienced gas engineer could see it wasn’t the pipe distance at fault. The only thing different from when you installed it was a new meter and regulator had been fitted so had to be that or water in the service.

does it matter what way round the full bore levers are mate ?

Great video to highlight that not all inspectors are nice, Tom I am right in saying that you are out of pocket for that repipe then ? Seems poor show for the inspector not to contact your customer. Your high standard of work shows when the customer asks you back to carry out more work.

Well done that man, what a difficult job made to look easy. The 'GasSafe' inspector sounds a real pr*ck...........and doesn't have the b*lls to apologise to you............I would complain about him !!

do you always need auto air vents at the top part of a system i.e loft?

Don’t worry mate some people are jobs worth

Hi Tom. Why didn’t the solder take very easily in the loft? I’m a newbie so not being cheeky

Me neither buddy. Me neither

No mask all that fibre glass

🤘😎🤘🫖☕️🍪🎥

There's always 1 know it all, jobsworth in Gas Safe. Others are cool and would help you find the issue. Not belittle you in front of a customer. They are not so fast when you RIDDOR a system are they? My bum cheeks were clenched when you were soldering in the loft though.

That inspector should have contacted your customer. Sick n tired of text book inspectors with either no experience or so full of their own self importance they won’t listen to rational thoughts/explanation.

Tom. Post the video. He was quick enough to pull you. We are all human and make mistakes. He’s an inspector so obviously needs more training and you should be able to advise them of his mistakes. If the governor was faulty when installed the engineer should have picked it up but they don’t acknowledge chimney sweep on worcesters. They only run a hot tap. POST THE VIDEO. you have nothing to hide. If anything it may help people pal.

Get a mask on buddy , I used to be without a mask but 30 years in suffering now

People with a bit of power eh,dont you just love them NOT

I bet you love that furry stuff Tom🙈🙈🙈it’s bloody awful stuff same as if you’ve been grinding fiberglass itches for days 🥲🥲🥲

If that inspector can pick faults with your work what’s he like with others, your work is always exemplary and safe. Typical you should have had a written apology but no, they so far up their own @rse. Still hoped you enjoyed your holiday weekend mate, chin up.

Don't post the vid. Leave it in the past, you have already moved on.
