Our plumbing forum is offline at the moment - so let the lads come chat in this thread

[Dan]

Good morning all, Had a call out last night coz some lil old lady, got herself trapped in the bedroom. poor old lass was there for 2hrs before she rang me. A Nice cuppa tea, chocolate digestives and a chat about days gone by was my reward for freeing her. Felt good driving back home.

That's really good of you that mate well done.

A good deed indeed

So it's because you DON'T feel inferior or intimidated that you felt the need to bring that up Yes? Overcompensating a bit I feel.

Look lads I know you lot can just about get out of bed and go and stick the odd bit of pipe in, but come we all know who the craftsmen round here are, I agree with @Andy Allen my best mate is a Plumber and when he is a good boy I let him come and Labour and grout for me on weekends. Gotta teach people some worthwhile Skills aye

So you need a Plumber to grout for you?

Must be his skills in making the job look good then.
We all know tiles without grout looks carp, so you get a professional in to make your tiling ' Professional' ........we understand your situation.

Must be a good plumber to make your tiling look professional!!!!!

I did good at skool me did. i do massages all on my own........

As you can see I got a plumber to spell and grammar check that one

Are you sure your mates a Plumber?
...Legitimate...

 

[Tile Shop]

Yeah, definately, I saw his vehicle..... had the business name plate on the back end of his horse, which was tied to to a lamp-post and a pack of pencils up its.......

Hmmmm.... see your point. He could be a chippy

I do not understand all this tension in the trend.
we here, plumbers and tilers, they love each at each other.

 

[J Sid]

ok plumbers (heating engineers) a question.
what pre formed wet deck would you recommend to go in a wet room with wet ufh that will not reduce the heat compared to the rest of the room which will have 18mm ply on it?
Will be tiled

We love plumbers to mate, as long as they do what we tell them.......then everything is cool...

However don't even get us started with electricians....

 

[Andy Allen]

TBH......this plumbing larks a piece of cake now you have push fitting for everything. Definitely not the skilled job it used to be.......

 

[Tile Shop]

I'll admit. I can't even change a tap. I tried once. It was not a good day for me. Plumber I knew through my kitchen design days was kind enough to bail me out at extremely short notice, but not before the missus came home. Had to make my own tea even though it was her turn to cook.

But it was the only time that I remember that plumber being reliable! Maybe because he knew he would get more out of a dire emergency job.

 

[Dan]

There's a difference between a pipe bender and a Gas Engineer. Who are akin to electrician's. As much training as a Vet. 7 years for some stuff. Or something.

So be careful. You could be digging a hole. Us tilers only need some business cards and we're away.

Quick update: forum is back online within a couple of hours. You'll be running the same software as this place. We have an app for push notifications to your mobile devices. We have some new features and whatnot too. I'll announce those there and hang around to help you get used to it etc.

Happy days.

Huge apology for the delay. We haven't upgraded for years and it was well overdue.

 

[Andy Allen]

We're going to miss them @Dan
Back to winding up the Italian then...

No push fit for the gas engineer my friend & the guys that use it on water are either DIY'ers or there house bashing on price so it's just thrown in.
