The Unpredictable Life Of Tradespeople | Off The Job: A Tradesman Podcast Overtime Episode 78
Description
In this episode of Off The Job Overtime, Pete and Keiran deliver a fully unfiltered mix of trade talk, chaos, and comedy. From Cheltenham race antics to weird sleep habits and volleyball mishaps, nothing is off limits.
The headline story?
A full‑blown gas engineering nightmare — low working pressure, a massive 28mm rerun, solder leaks buried under fresh plaster, flu issues, and the endless battle with Gas Safe regulations. The lads get into:
✅ Gas pressure rules, appliance safety & boiler MIs
✅ The reality of cowboy jobs still everywhere
✅ Gas Safe inspection stories & common gotchas
✅ Flu spill tests, illegal installs & public walkway rules
✅ Why Fridays are cursed for trades: jobs always go wrong
They also touch on trade drinking culture, intrusive thoughts, Tourette’s awareness, and the ethics of shows like Black Mirror and The Undateables. And of course, Keiran claims bricklaying is “relaxing,” which will definitely wind up a few brickies.
