I tackle a mains PRV choking water pressure in Harrow, then head over to Romford to swap a seized Danfoss 3-port valve. I bunged the F&E tank in the loft to save a full drain-down, but testing the heating uncovered a whole new issue with the room stat wiring.

You know that sinking feeling when you lift a floorboard for a "straightforward" radiator swap, and your moral compass immediately ruins your afternoon?

New video drops tonight at 6. We’re digging into a hidden leak, dodgy auto-fill setups, and why quotes for radiators are never just about hanging metal on a wall 👇🏽

"The Hardest Radiator Install In The UK?"

Most heating engineers refuse to touch bespoke curved bay radiators, and after taking this one on solo, I completely understand why! Zero margin for error, custom bracket alignments, and pipework that has to land bang on the money.

Plus, in this week’s upload:

• Fitting a system bypass valve (press fit saves the day)

• Replacing a leaking unvented cylinder TPRV

• Hunting down an annoying boiler pressure drop

Tap the link to watch the full video and let me know in the comments, would you tackle one of these curved installs yourself, or leave well alone? 👇🏽

Quick question for the engineers and trades on here 👇🏽

You turn up to a boiler breakdown, pull off the casing, and realize the part ordered/brought is completely wrong. What’s your first move?

A) Hunt through the van racking praying for a spare 🚐

B) Drop everything and race to the nearest merchant 🏃🏽‍♂️

C) Reschedule with the customer 🗓️

D) Find a clever workaround on site 🔧

New vlog is live tonight at 6!

Never be too proud to leave your pride at the door and crack open the manufacturer's instructions. In today’s upload, I get stuck into a floor-standing Glow-worm Ultrapower SXi that I haven’t done a full strip-down service on before, featuring a rigid gas line setup that definitely wasn't worth just "winging".

After that, I head over to a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W locking out on an F2 overheat fault on domestic hot water, where we pull the plate heat exchanger and clear out a solid blockage with spirits of salts.

Grab a brew and check it out! Let me know in the comments how you handle boilers you don't see every day 👇🏽

New video is live! 🎥

Ever turned up to what should be a routine valve swap, only to find the installer left you absolutely ZERO play in the pipework?

In this one, I run through a busy day on the tools, troubleshooting a seized zone valve, wiring up a Hive system to an Intergas boiler, and getting into a proper wrestling match with a Vaillant ecoTEC 837.

Did I handle this customer bill fairly? 🛠️

Recalls are easily the most frustrating part of the trade, but when a quick fix doesn't hold up and you have to go back to do it the "long way", how do you handle the pricing?

In tonight's video, I’m back on a Worcester Bosch boiler sorting a stubborn plate heat exchanger that kept short cycling. After testing chemical siphoning first to save the client money, I had to drop the plate out properly from behind the manifold.

At the end of the video, I break down exactly what I invoiced them — but I want to know what you would do:

Eat the cost completely as a callback guarantee?

Charge full labor for both visits?

Just bill the difference between the jobs?

Battling 34°C heat on the last job before the holiday! I was running a new external 22mm gas line to a boiler, started off with a low route planned around the doors and fence, then scrapped it mid-job to take it up over the flat roof.

Doing that saved a mountain of elbow fittings, eliminated flow restriction, and kept the pipework clean with some proper bends.

Would you have stuck to the low route, or was going over the roof the right call?

Watch the full job & pipe bending walkthrough now!

£800+ for a new main heat exchanger... or £250 reconditioned? 🧰

In tonight's video, we tackle a split heat exchanger on a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 838 after customer service refused to even quote the repair without charging a call-out fee first.

Full teardown, flue turret tricks, and the complete rebuild drops tonight at 6!

Quick question for the installers:

What manufacturer has given you the biggest headache with tech support/customer service recently? 👇🏽
