Who else cringes when you open the airing cupboard.

Even when i go to the most immaculate well presented house.

I know there could be a horror story in the airing cupboard.

Pipes going all over the place at 45 degrees, compression leaky fittings everywhere, an immersion heater wired onto a plug, and then you think, surely thats not an isovalve.... nooooooooooooo

funny
 
yup all the time even when the cust knows you need to work in there its never been cleared or emptied!
 
It never ceases to amaze me how many clothes and towels and sheets can fit into an airing cupboard ...

I always ask if the customer would like a minute or two to clear out their cupboard but they never seem to mind. I'd be mortified if a plumber opened my airing cupboard to have a pair of my knickers smiling at him ...

I thought plumbers were like doctors. Seen it all before, Hippocratic oath etc.
 
lol there stinking most of the time, and most expect you to empty and re stack!! cheek of it.. under beds are bad quite shocking sometimes..... then there is the rock hard knickers and socks stuck behind rads.. why do we even do it!! .........oh yea, i dont know how to do anything else.

ha a knicker wearing plumber eh? your secret will be safe on here ;) lol
 
Nothing wrong with a good fitting pair of knickers. I prefer them over my head right enough:p

I don't mind the cupboard being full if it is an hourly rate. Gimme an iron and i'll press them before putting them back!
But on a priced job it does my nut in. Either they empty it or the lot is sitting on top of the bed for them to sort including the w... mags that have fallen down the back:)
 
I once ripped out a cylinder and found a massive black vibrater down the back!Now then,do I give it to the customer,or chuck it?In the end,I took it back to the office and told the apprentice to close his eyes,and open his mouth........
 
I recall seeing an airing cupboard not long after speedfit first came out, done totally with speedfit and not a clip in sight, put me off using plastic for ages that did!!!
 
I remember I once removed a cylinder and found a massive roll of twenty pound notes. The bloke had hide it their from his missus
