How do I tackle a job like this | one pipe heating system 

You have no idea how brilliant and helpful your videos are, please keep doing them in the way you do!

Another interesting video Tom , glad to hear you are busy mate.

10:10 like opening a loft hatch

Hi Tom, yes definitely the correct way to proceed is a conversion to a two pipe system, no doubt about it. I also would have done it in plastic under the floor, but as you know I am a big fan of copper and soldering like yourself. The pipework is looking much better now, as you say it certainly needed that haircut 😂, I look forward to the next episode. As always have a great week and take care Tom. 👍👍👍

Great work Tom, always worth the effort to do it right

That pipe work was probably a design as a water flume for Blackpool Beach, but that Water was dizzy bit the time it got back to the Boiler😂😂 Good video Tom, bet you thought we were out of it yesterday 😂 see you on the next one 👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍺

Agree 100% with your decision Tom, you would have been back at this job every week in the winter with the new rads not heating up. Like yourself I do like to use copper but hep does have its place. Great explanation of your thought process on this job.

As an apprentice I was told do a job as if you were doing it for yourself that way you know it's as good as you can get it ,nice to see you wouldn't sign off on that original system

Great video again Tom yes your 100% correct going for that 2 pipe system m8t looks good too 👌👌👌👌

Excellent, you're a fast worker Tom. 👍

You did right! Across the rd from my workshop is the “old forge” which has a badly installed one pipe system that has been extended! Worst possible scenario! I put a couple of days into it flushing and clipping up pipes to get rid of air traps, once circulating it worked quite well from a coal fired Dedeitrich stove, but if left off for more than a couple of days it would refuse to circulate till it was all bled out again. Guy was to tight to put a two pipe in! He paid me more than it would have cost to do it properly! Good work man! Phil

Hey Tom you made light work of that one, I’d John Wayne did that heating system a few years ago 😂, You probably know that the blue Bosch professional flat bit bit the screw tip & the makita Torque screw drill are absolutely savage for drilling joints, Brilliant video as always mate 😎👍🤜

Excellent as always Tom

The bottles of fizz, a bottle of piss and pillows in the bathroom. 😆😆

Good one again Tom. 👍

Great video Tom 👍😎

Awesome 😎

Another good video Tom, I always preferred using copper as well, but Speedfit did come in handy in certain jobs.

Say it won't work as it should have worked on 1 pipe systems new system it's good advice I agree

Lovely old job yet again Tom

Ya do right Tom, why put time and effort into a system that you know won’t work or at best work efficiently. Nice work as usual mate.

Tom looking at the push fit disaster under the floor it looked like some of the additions were piped in one side out out the other making them inline with the pipe in effect , so it would never work . It should be Tee'd into both sides to maintain the flow , the last tall newer radiator being an example with the link by 2 x Tee's to continue the circuit.

Great video Tom. Think how much more difficult it would of been if the ceilings weren’t down😮

Hi Tom i agree with you on it not working properly on a one pipe system, hot and cold spots all over the system nightmare, phone calls please come back my rads are not getting hot, i would have walk away as well if they hadn't agreed to two pipe system, i'm not lover of speedfit but sometimes you have to do whats what on jobs, good job😀

Hell fire Tom, as my old gaffer used to say “ it’s like a ships boiler house” and that job reminded me of one 😂 well done with that one, looked 100% better when you got it sorted. Take care 🚽👍

Hi Tom…. Just watched the video… OMG who put that pipework in Stevie Wonder 🙈what a mess… sure you will make a huge difference 👍

i liked the scale replica of spaghetti junction in speedfit 😜

Yes Tom I agree. Don't add on to an existing heating system that is not working correctly now.Yep rip it out and start again .👍👍👍. Why is it when your megger busy your quotes get accepted. 😯😂

You must of worked for a good apprenticeship to learn all this stuff and remember it all it's very impressive can you give more detail in how you got so good at plumbing

I would have done the same only comes back on you needs 2pipe putting in

Long swept tees on the old one pipe systems worked well for a long time Tom😎

Nightmare of polypipe spaghetti

Sound work love the vids is it your company

One pipe heating systems were of their time which was the 1960s and really by the 70s the one piper had become obsolete.

hi mate i need to fix a leak on a pipe connected to a radiator on oil boiler system is it the same method as conventional system drain it down repair and refill. I am not familiar on oil boiler system. please mate

Why not use compression fittings instead of speedfit?

Careful, Tom all those ceiling Artex someone could be skimmed … I wonder if they hired professional to remove existing ones or , electrician removing them with out any safety , seems like this owner is greedy , cutting the corners …

One option is to walk away.... 😢 The other is to rip out and do the job properly 😮

suprised your sparks didnt change his name to noah and start collecting animals 🤣🤣

Same opinion 🖕🖕🤛🤐🤐F##k the job don't need the future AG😅😅😅

Yeah a bit of a mess that plastic pipe..
