I'm so grateful that you made this video. Despite working full-time and then some, I'm a single parent who's strapped for cash. A dodgy leaking tap that flooded the house whilst I was at work was almost the straw that broke the camels as the saying goes! But thanks to this cheeky chapie's excellent tutorial, I saved myself a fortune on plumbers call out fees and fitted the new taps myself...I'm well Chuffed as I've never done any type of plumbing previously...Many Thanks
yet another superb entertaining video and amazing tips that i will remember when doing DIY plumber works 1) glue is cheap leaks are expensive 2) move the Giraffe out of the way
Another great video! You are on a par with Bradley Walsh for presenting skills, for sure, and should at least be on morning television, have 10 minute slot on one of the programs, giving your plumbing tips to the nation. You could be the Mr Motivator for DIY plumbing enthusiasts!
After subscribing and watching your channel for a few months I have gathered all of the necessary plumbing equipment to completely refit my bathroom and I have spent a few evenings on learning how to plan, bend and solder the pipes as it's arguably the most reliable type of the connection. And after all of that, I can see you using flexis. Well done mate!
Please, please, please take a plumbing show on the road ! You could take a whole set onto the stage and just do your stuff ! You're a natural observational comedian, not a 'too bad' singer and very educating to boot ! I have learned loads from you and saved lots of money doing plumbing jobs for myself ! I even took a dual flush system 'thingy' to bed to work out how to set water levels...say no more, ha ha !
Hi! Only just found these videos as I was looking for some "how to" for removing toilets, basins etc.. ended up watching the whole video! Great work, and thanks for the straight forward tips and information!
The video was somewhat helpful but when showing it to my students they all noticed that you had turned the DWV system into a S-trap that would cause self siphoning and result in a sewer gas smell in the household. I was also amazed at the outdoor running of the waste lines. Doesn't work in Canada, just a little too cold!
Another great video. I’m looking for a smallish bathroom sink with full pedestal , I need to hide stuff so the pedestal must fit almost flush to wall , having a job finding anything. Do they exist. ?
Enjoyed the video...Luckily I believe the taps are already installed on the used replacement basin I'm picking up today, the same size as my cracked basin. wish me luck ! PS will obviously get help with the lifting as I'm only little and almost 74 years...!
Hi mate I'm English but in the Philippines now got to get a basin off the wall with the retaining bolts well rusted in Any ideas how to remove them easerly I don't mind breaking the bowl to get at them. Has some twit has already broken it Thanks. Just hope u still read these comments or questions 😀
I wonder if you closed off the hole of the old waste pipe, otherwise it would be a direct access route to mice...thank you for the video, very informative!
Great video, kitting out my bathroom at the moment so help a lot. Any chance of a video installing a wet room floor? Can't seem to find any decent tutorials on RU-vid for this. Cheers
This would've been great if it came out last month haha, did a little job for my auntie and although it was fine, it could've been better. Doing plumbing at college
Great video. I see you don't seal the waste outlet on the inside of the basin. I've always used Plumber's Mait on that side too - why don't you?? I have to replace one and it has silicone around it - just like the Wickes guy does in his video on RU-vid - I hate silicone when used inappropriately, it's a pig to remove and I have a feeling that my old waste isn't going to shift with silicone either end!!
Hi, been watching your videos as I'm just starting out. When you say you turned off the hot water from the airing cupboard. Do you mean the gate valve for the cold feed??
There should be a separate isolator to stop the hot water from the cylinder which is supplying the hot water taps. The cold feed he already turned off at the main stop cock.
good video :) i pulled apart a toilet tank behind a stud wall, it was hard work then found a had the wrong flush unit, i thought the pipe from the tank was a standard size of 40mm but the pipe on this one had 50mm pipe :( is this unuseual ?
Thank you , helpful video, just the last part ,when opened tap water, it was very noisy , running water through waste pipe sounds like flashing toilet . it sounds very loud !!!
mate can you come down to New Zealand and install a bath and booster pump off the cylinder for us? good excuse to visit NZ mate, go on please???? lol great videos by the way!
Wow so strange to see a separate hot and cold faucet on one sink, what do you do when you simply want warm water, not hot, not cold? Also exposed hot and cold water lines!! Holly crap even your waste lines are all exposed, is this normal over there???? Good video mate.
Fill the basin with cold and hot water....and it's like magic! WARM WATER! But yeah these taps are old school, mixers are the way forward! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ru-vid.com 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
It's one of the eccentricities we have in the UK. Most of the world prefers mixers but for some reason in the UK we're sticking with separate hot and cold water.
Screws are a more secure robust fixing , silicone shouldn't be used as it either doesn't work on the surface or creates a bad bond which can be difficult in removing
You should have used black waste pipe on the outside of the house as it contains UV protective chemicals to protect againt sunlight but great video overall
great vid 2:00 yea brass nuts are the best i got 2 new taps and you would think you get what you pay for and it came with shitty bendy plastic nuts ahaha
