  • The Worst Places to Work in Plumbing

    The Worst Places to Work in Plumbing
    Oct 14 2026
    Andy Cam and Todd Glister take a tour of the worst places to work in plumbing and heating, sharing stories of ridiculous working conditions, awkward boiler installations and properties that make even the simplest job a logistical challenge.

    They discuss whether installers should be able to refuse unsafe or inaccessible jobs, when it’s fair to charge extra for the hassle, and the worst things customers have done while they’re trying to work.

    Todd shares his experiences of tackling the tricky spaces found in London properties, and we hear from Thomas Nagy as the Great British Trade Off team captains go head-to-head!

    Andy Cam and Todd Glister look at the different pressures facing tradespeople, from the day-to-day demands of the job and running a business to the wider financial and economic pressures affecting the industry.

    From balancing plumbing with family life to tackling the stigma around talking about stress and anxiety, it’s an honest conversation about the pressures of working in the trade — and what we can do to manage them better.
