    Would love to see more price breakdowns on jobs like you did for the fill valve, it's interesting to see what other plumbers are charging

      Yeah I can definitely start saying about what I’m charging on jobbing videos 100%

    Love that word "snatching". I need to use it more. As I seem to be snatching everything at work to get home b4 the traffic.

    A little tip 🤓
    I change the towel rail cartridge just like the bath tap you did. That way I don't need to change the whole valve, pipe and if the F&E is above you head like the one you just did I do it live 😁
    Try it 🤓
    I'm in and out it in 5 minutes 💪

      ​@@willemgijs3803don't quote me but I think the paste has some teflon in it. It just helps seal between the olive and fitting and lubricates as its tightened up.
      Some debate on whether its a low level legionella risk or not. Hospitals here in UK for example you can't use paste so tape would be your only option if it a fitting leaked.
