I was looking for a picture of today's work to keep the social algorithms happy but it seems I didn't take any. So instead here is a picture which perfectly represents my current mood (this is one of the koalas at Longleat).

It was the logical next step! (you might have noticed the page name change)

Very happy to announce that I am now offering air conditioning installation, service and maintenance.

* F gas certified
* REFCOM registered
* Toshiba T5 Approved Warranty Partner (though I'm manufacturer agnostic; I'll fit whatever is right for the job)
* Delivering the same service I do with boilers: thorough, conscientous, friendly and professional

Here's a recent install - customer is over the moon - they were previously sleeping with six fans pointed at them, now they are sleeping in cool comfort!

If you are thinking about AC please do feel free to drop me a message - very happy to advise with no obligation.

Silliest places to be during a heatwave:

1. In an airless windowless box with a biomass boiler big enough to heat a whole block of flats
2. That's it. That's the silliest.

Heat exchanger cleaning!!

On drum-type heat exchangers, I will always give them a clean at service time. Vaillant and Viessmann in particular are getting more picky about the services being done properly. Keep your warranty valid - get a proper boiler service.

The one in the picture is a Viessmann which was 10 years old and this is the first time it's been cleaned 🤦‍♂️ but with the right tools, they come up good as new.

Chuffin eck!!!!!

This has been given a gas safety certificate for the last goodness-knows-how-many years...

All the jets are in the wrong burners. The big one hardly emits a flame. One of the medium ones goes like those beacons in Lord Of The Rings. And the smallest one is full of dirt so if you turn it down, the flame goes out 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Never a dull day...

Pigeon fell down the chimney. Customer removed most of the fire but (correctly) called me when they realised there was a live gas pipe that needed to be disconnected.

I christened the pigeon Anton (iykyk) and set him free. He seems fine.

The customer actually never uses the gas fire so that was decommissioned at the same time. And I found a leak on the hob pipework whilst doing my safety checks, so that got fixed too.

Not glamorous. Not shiny. Not clean. But important!

I like solving problems. I'd much rather be making things work properly than (for example) doing tiling. Lovely tiling looks *much* nicer on social media, but it doesn't make me tick. (Which is why I have a very good tiler who I employ on bathroom projects.)

This job was done in conjunction with SWR Property Management Services - their block management department looks after this lovely 16-flat block in Clifton. They have recently taken over the block management, and discovered a "cavern" under the property with 16 stop taps, one for each property. But they were all leaking, seized, not working, or all of the above. To make things more difficult, they were all piped in 70s black alkathene pipe.

I coordinated with Bristol Water to have them on hand in case I broke the main shutoff for the block (I didn't, but it hadn't been used for at least 13 years, so better safe than sorry), then replaced all 16 with new Philmac versions. After that I went door-to-door and identified which stopcock shuts off which flat. So the block now has working emergency shutoffs for every individual flat. A good day's work!

Something a bit different today.
