Anyone drive away from a job and then worry about if you’ve forgot to tighten any nuts

[PETE 123]

I have a few tick boxes on my job sheets one which says test points ok ( which could be gas or boiler sample points) then i check them before i tick.

Just me or anyone else drive away from a job and worry if you tightened all the nuts?

The first cylinder I did on my own as an apprentice, after doing my unvented course, late finish getting them up and running in one day, I literally didn't sleep that night. I even thought to myself "I don't know whether I can do this?" I phoned the customer first thing in the morning, sounding as confident as possible, "Just doing my routine thing and checking you have hot water this morning and everything is OK?"

"Lovely thanks, the shower is better than ever now, great job!" came the reply.

Phew!

Confidence builds, you stop worrying and then later down the line you get the "inevitable" leak and the confidence is destroyed for a while again.

That's a really good idea, my oh is particularly impressed and is going to trial that next week when locking up at customers (she does dog walking &sitting).

I'm really bad for worrying about this sort of thing, its bad enough with water, guessing its going to be even worse when I start working with gas! Still think its better to be overly paranoid than not enough.

a water leak makes a worse mess than a gas leak ...sometimes.
Any decent tradesman or business man who never gets the 5 am's is either a liar or a conman . There will always be problems ...its how you deal with them that counts in my book Centralheatking

All the time. Just gas safe registered but always get home and overthink what I’ve done! Always do a tightness test and then relight appliances just before I leave but still get home and stress.

Hopefully it gets better, any tips?

Never doubt your own abilities.

Nothing worries me as far as work goes.

More important things to concern the old grey cells.

After all works work.

I never use compression on gas for that reason! Always solder you cant really go wrong then!

So how do you connect to appliances as there’s compression fittings on them
