This chaps fantastic , awesome and everything else , learnt so much from this conversation....these were the workman back in the day that working families relied on to keep there heads above water ....friendly honest ...accountable ....well done you fella

That boiler was in mint condition. All it needed was a proper engineer to spend time on it instead of creating work by changing things on it. Top job buddy

Wish all plumbers/boiler services were as good and thorough as this guy. Superb. If only you were close to Liverpool I'd be on the phone now!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Love the honesty. 100% accurate as to the findings out there in relation to replacing parts vs repairing which is a concern.

Thank you buddy you don’t learn nothing by just changing parts all the time, I always try my best to repair everything

I was just about to ask you all about expansion vessel sizing for the property size etc then you answered it perfectly Another great video 👊💯

Love your thoroughness and the way you talk to the customer, he trusts you 110% and you have a customer for life. He clearly had zero trust in the guys that came before. They clearly had not serviced it properly not noticing the gas supply line was below spec - amongst other things.😳 Keep up the good work.👍

You can just tell he knows what he's doing. The clarity with how he speaks (despite the accent).

Great Video ! , very informative & professional 👍 . good tip to remove all the water from system by pumping expansion vessel . I pumped to correct pressure , repressurised the system . and heating is now running better than before ! Thankyou for your help . liked & Subscribed

I like your way of cleaning the prv 👍, much better than taking the whole part out, less water to clean up and the rubber around it is a pain to refit, to keep it room sealed

Fabulous informative video many thanks

I love the way hes blowing your trumpet lol.

PROPER SERVICE !!

Have you got a link for the 7mm spanner used to drain the system down please?

Did this boiler have a fault code?

What did you do in regards to the low inlet pressure. Hate finding this on existing installations, always a pain in the arse explaining to customers and trying to get them to do anything about it.

At risked it mate , and forgot about it 😂 I’ve stopped caring in that respect , advised this will effect heat up times in hot water and efficiently if boiler and also can’t achieve proper fga readings because pressure is low

What is that recharger device your using. Nice to see a digital version than a good old bike pump

Deffo m8. See it all the time, which is ruining the trade reputation. Keep up the great work 👍

Customer is right, if plumbers were honest, they'd get customers for life and referrals.

Just drain the boiler by turning the PRV it's faster and easier.

@Kevin W easier and cheaper to replace a bad prv than boiler isolation valves that leak when you turn them back on

​@johnmelling9950 yes mate I had to change water pressure sensor on my boiler and didn't want to isolate flow and return heating because of that reason ,it possibly leaking. I was lucky my boiler is in upstairs cupboard so rad pipework runs below boiler level . Just opened drain off drained out , front and side panel off new sensor greased up and ready old out new one in hardest bit was fiddling with the clip going back in don't like messing with them isolation valves

How much pressure do we put in new vessel? My technician put 1.5 bar in vessel and either i put 1.2 or 1.5 to close water system the pressure rises to 2 bar on heat

@@Metco81 if you press the strayder valve in expansion vessel air will come out, most manufacturers say to pump expansion vessel to 1bar. no it doesnt always lower water pressure

Thank you man your video has helped me find a leak in my system, unfortunately i dont know what the component is do you have an email or whatsapp for me to send a photo to advise further

Do you travel to London? I'm fed up of ''service'' meaning doing sweet F'all or ruining things. The customer is quite right, cowboys are a problem.

I think valliant knows this and intentionally makes the part which is not durable. for small o ring people have to buy whole part and pay 10% of the new boiler. shame on vaillant.

It's a shite company like most of these manufacturers. The fact most plumbers are quite incompetent too doesn't help.

It’s losing btw

vaillant intentionally makes diverter valve with cheap rubber seal which is not durable and wears down so customer have to purchase whole diverter valve just for 20 pence seal wears off. why do they need to sell one with motor etc? it is a big cone at large scale
