I'm talking site work, new house development Ian, prices are set in stone, a plumber has a van full of tools, he does not want to go in,set up and go out without doing the full job, getting the tools,rads,materials is a major job, if we can't in and finish, we don't go in, If the lower end trades have not finished and we have to go back and sort their mess we want more, and because we are kings on site, we get it,, 1787034013 yippee

If the plumber fits or does something they shouldn't then it is not my problem and I either get paid for time wasted due to job not being ready for me, or me doing what is necessary to make it ready. On site work that wall will normally just get left and I will get day work for returning to do it, refurbs the same or I get paid to remove and refit and normally get more plumbing work afterwards once they have realized the plumber is taking the piss. Private jobs I will usually just whip it off and on, because it is hardly a major job.. the customers love it and and normally ring me next time they need a plumber. Happy days!  |

looks bit dodgy me thinks 😀 Ah, they're back! What goes around comes around!! They've been in my imaginary museum of plumbing items/ideas that never caught on for well over 30 years  ! Perhaps there're moment in time has now arrived! Or maybe not  ! Only remember seeing them once in a merchants and a joiner who had installed CH in his parents home telling me about all them bragging them off (possibly 1979). |

As a site agent I control the site not plasterers, I want a plumber to fit radiators and a plasterer to board walls and skim them, If a rad needs taking off and a plasterer removes it, I'll ask that plasterer to be removed off site because he's doing work he's not qualified to do, this can lead to problems at a later stage,
This is how a site is run Properly
When the 'shell' is up and weather tight, roof,windows and doors,,
the chippies do their first fix,,studdings,stairs,noggins,
Plumbers do their first fix
sparks do their first fix,
plasterers board and skim
plumbers ,chippies and sparks do second fix, including filling and testing, to test the plot the plumber must have the whole house including bathroom,ensuit,clokroom rads filled and tested and when this is done, I inspect and fill out the certs to say its tested,
finishing trades come next, painter,tiler,floor layer, if anything needs removing I issue a day work instuction to the plumber and only a plumber should do this, and re fit after tiling,
any leaks or electrial faults reported at the handover that were not there on the inspection of the certs, is charged to the plasterer,

I agree with most of what you say site agent but i don't think you are a real site agent because site agents always call plumbers ' fuckin' plumbers' its a habit they cannot get out of even though we are well liked because we sort the bollocks left by the joiner,electrician and tilers, if we leave the bath panel for the joiner, he'll fuck it up, if we let the sparks wire the heating, he'll fuck it up, if a tiler drills a hole for the shower rail, he'll fuck it up, we are the kings of building but you always refer to us as fuckin' plumbers, smiley-taunt005 show bum

Over the last twenty years I’ve never known a Site Agent that could organise a piss up in a brewery, fucking clowns & thick fucking clowns too!! These young pups just can’t coordinate trades, fucking useless!! If some twat removes one of my radiators & I have to refit it, it’s a huge contra charge or the Site Agent gets told to fuck off!! His poor organisational skills doesn’t constitute an emergency for me. If there’s ceramic tiling is to be done after we’ve fitted our sanitary ware & radiators, we get paid Top Dollar to do it. |

an interesting theory shitstik , I've always found site agents full of shit, they can talk a job but sadly, they sit on their arse and blame every fucker else why the jobs going tits up, If a site gets a good plumber and a good joiner the building goes good, the site agent is a figure head, they are mostly labourers who need to be told which end of the brush sweeps the shit up,,

Fucking clueless!! |

Most of the Sparks are Gay & the Joiners have limited skill, firing nails with a Passy Gun & gluing bit of MDF together. There’s such a shortage of Brickies, they only do half a shift & it’s Home time!! The Site Agent can’t say anything to them or they’ll tell him to fuck off & just walk off the job!!! |

back in the day Dick, there was a site agent, ( formerly called general foreman) and like you rightly say, he was a brickie or joiner, and a labourer, a proper labourer, one who would patch brickwork, fix a broken roof tile, shave a swollen door, he would drive the dumper,load and unload wagons, help handballing stuff, dig holes for fencing, a general labourer but with many skills, then one day some toff decides he needs a licence to drive a dumper, so then he becomes a dumper driver and shifting anything else is beneath him, so then they need men for all the jobs that labourer used to do, and it went on and on till now when even a sweeper needs to attend a course and get a certificate to push a brush,, FFS, where will it end,  |

There is no end now Tom sadly it's just the beginning. There was an article a while back about a joiner on a site and he walked passed one of the skips and it was alight as someone had obviously flicked their cig in there, he went to the site office and grapped the fire extinguisher and put it out. 1787034013 yippee This joiner was then given a bollicking by the site agent for using the extinguisher when not trained  and rightly so he said fuck you I'm off kick-in-the-balls . CRAZY!!!!!!! |

CRAZY!!!!!!! I also know of a sailor on an HMS ship, who saved a colleague from death, who was getting electrocuted, said colleague whacked the poor victim with a wooden 3x2 and saved him. He was promptly put on a charge for assault🤬 |
