Few notes: I forgot to do the cold flush through the magnacleanse and therfore fluished a load of black gunge into the garden, which we only saw when we'd finished!

What i learnt from this video is to not leave a plumber alone with a pen or pencil. They will draw on anything 😀

Speaking as someone who had furred up CH pipes, the easiest check to do is put a magnet against the copper pipe, if it sticks you’ve got a problem. Easier than chopping the pipes out to look👍

I’m a plumber and I have a rule to myself that I can’t watch other plumbers on YouTube, it’s just too painful 😰 BUT I can watch you, your good, very good my mate! Keep up the great work

17:23 love that he uses the analogy of the arteries, and the doctors uses the analogy of the pipes in your heating system 🤣😂🤣😂

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. My son is a newly qualified plumber out there experimenting on peoples’ houses and even though I don’t understand what you do we watch your videos and both learn and laugh along. Wish I’d had teachers like you at school. Really great. Thank you. 😊 Richard, Oxfordshire.

Having moved out of plumbing a couple of years ago, I still love your videos mate and I’d rather watch these longer videos than anything on Netflix!

Finally!! I find another installer that puts valves under air vents, I thought i was alone🤣🤣 Another tip is instead of struggling with a plastic tub to catch water from radiator get a roll of 'Rubble Bags' fron S/F and use one as a 'Flexible Bucket'
Another job well done and all for £50.00 a week, I'm amazed we do this for a living 👍

trades like to give each other a hard time, but as a spark it's fun to see a person who knows their trade, working stuff out... warms the cockles of my electrical heart :)

This channel is one of those hidden gems that are so helpful

[demonkey]

Nice to see a real tradesman who knows what he’s doing for a change! Loved watching the video! 👍😁

[GIBLETTS]

Been plumbing for 50 years, love James videos, what is there not to like about the guy, he's still teaching me a trick or two😊

[garylaycock]

“Nice bit of copper pipe Max”
I love these bit, cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

[MSeroga]

As someone who knows close to nothing about plumbing... this channel is GOLD!

[jordanm]

Watching this has given me the balls to upgrade my CH to a pressurized system. Why the previous owners didn't do it when they had the HW changed to an unvented cylinder I don't know.

23:15 As someone from outside the UK: Why would a towel radiator have two valves? One must be hot side, and one cold side (return)? Why not just have one valve and make the other one like on the regular radiators? Then you could even set the proper flow rate, without having the risk that the occupant of the building will turn it wide open and mess up the hydraulics for the rest of the house. What am I missing?

[kevwatson]

Really well explained James . Even though it’s not an issue I have ..(at the moment anyway ), just find your videos incredible addictive 😁… funny, witty and hopefully I’m learning something. How you keep calm with water everywhere and smoke alarms going off, take my hat 🎩 off to you 😁😁😁

[GrahamReid]

My heating had the same issue, older house new combo boiler old radiators, ended up running Fernox F8 for 3 days, flushed the system, replaced 8 radiators as they were original and the cause of the rust and sludge, replaced pipe work and fittings and changed the boiler heat plate. Works perfectly now.

All about prevention and honest heating engineers like this 👍🏻 cracking video.

For the towel rad, for adding cleaner, a mamometer hose through the top bung and siphon it you can empty the rad really quick and painlessly

[geoffroberts]

Nice video delivered with a smile from you and your customer. Wish all customers would watch this and see the effort and time it takes just to explain the fix to them..
