In this episode of Off The Job Podcast, we sit down with Anthony from Rothenberger UK to explore the real story behind one of the most recognised names in plumbing tools.
With over 75 years of innovation, Rothenberger has grown from a single pipe expansion tool into a global one-stop shop for plumbers, heating engineers, and HVAC professionals. Anthony shares how the brand evolved, what goes into developing professional-grade tools, and why press systems are rapidly changing the domestic plumbing industry.
We also go beyond the tools. This conversation dives into life on the tools, career transitions, social media’s impact on the trade, and the often-unspoken reality of mental health in construction and plumbing. From anxiety and burnout to the importance of talking openly, this episode delivers an honest, relatable discussion every tradesperson can connect with.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- The history and global growth of Rothenberger
- How plumbing press systems are transforming modern installations
- Why merchants matter and how tools are developed for real-world use
- The truth about tool failures, feedback, and social media criticism
- Mental health challenges in the trades — and why speaking up matters
- Charity work, industry events, and what’s next for Rothenberger UK
Whether you’re a plumber, heating engineer, gas engineer, HVAC installer, or simply interested in how trade brands are built, this episode delivers insight, experience, and genuine conversation.
