Very helpful video. Is there a reason you used straight reducer 22 to 15mm just before 15mm tee estate of using 22x15x15mm tee reducer, that's on 16:31 min
Lol so funny when the cat comes out from under the floor and is like "mind your own business" I had to relocate a radiator to another wall as we were getting french doors fitted and the same thing happened with my cat haha love it.
Really enjoyed your videos mate. You remind me alot of me. Do everything myself too, worked in every aspect of the building trade renovation etc but my trade is a landscaper. Great series of how you can save alot of money doing it yourself. I ll be watching your other view now as this series was so enjoyable. Cheers mate all the best deano..
I'm glad you enjoyed the series. The deal I had was supplied with PB pushfits, which I say I haven't heard of before, but any extra fittings I bought were JG Speedfit. The pipe was just a standard barrier pipe that was supplied and the extra one I had to buy was just the standard trade barrier pipe from screwfix.
14:20 Junction boxes under floorboards. Should really be upgraded to maintenance free wago connectors, considering that screw terminations have to be accessible.
Do you find you get much thermal expansion in the pipes going up to the first floor? I was advised to go with copper for the vertical straights to combat this. Also, have you had any problems with leaks and push fits?
I've not had any thermal expansion, I'm not sure if it's because it's a barrier pipe i.e it's like a pipe in a pipe. I've not had a single push fit leak, they have all worked perfectly on every joint. Time will tell though, that's why I didn't want to put elbow joints under where the bath is because when the ceiling is back on those connection would be impossible to get to.
@@LCWDIY Thanks, gives me a bit more confidence! I'm trying to plan the pipe runs for my heating now with minimal t joints and elbows. Would you recommend the ratcheting pipe cutter that you've used in the video?
@@iamiadam The Rothenberger pipe cutter is good but pricey at about £49 from screwfix bit.ly/2MIUeAK although they do a smaller 22mm one for £23 bit.ly/2GgQWDK They can squash the pipe a bit when you cut them which makes it a bit harder to push the pipe insert in but it does give you a nice quick, clean and straight cut.
i did not realise how dated the house was until i saw the old electrical fittings and the state of the walls etc.. i worked for a company for a few years a long time ago and my boss bought a 3 bed terrace house like that and just got half his employers to come in and gut it and start from scratch ( of course its easier if u dont live there )
Yes the house was built in 1926 and the guy that used to live here was apparently a recluse and did nothing to the house but hoard stuff. He lived here with his mum and dad but his dad died about 1979 and his mum died about 1996. We've learnt all this from the stuff that was left here. He had no next of kin so when he died in December 2016 they had to track down a distant relative who put the place up for sale in 2018. So the place laid empty for over a year before we bought it with so many draughts with single glazing and damp everywhere. It's all coming together now though lol
