Hi all, I have an issue with my shower enclosure and hoping someone can help so i dont have to replace it all. A plastic component, which sits on the end of the door bar and appears to hold the glass panel between the door and wall in position, has broken. One of the notches, as shown in the...

Is HKC a decent quality alarm? Ive vaguely heard of the likes of Scantronic, Honeywell, Visonic... The keypad looks like my son has made it (http://www.hkcsecurity.com/uk/product/rf-remote-keypad/uk-key-pads/#.WfBUgmhSy00), are they generally interchangable, i.e. can i swap it out for a more...

I'm being informed that I have been upgraded.... With no sightlines for Orisec (only supply to installers) and a few prices for HKC but little experience, apart from the keypad looking cheaper I don't have much to fall back on. Anyone with direct knowledge of HKC please?

thanks

excuse the stupid question: but i should push for all sensors and pir's also, as in is it reasonable to assume they would be better also?

I havent paid yet so will be an interesting discussion tomorrow. The HKC control panel looks cheaper than i was expecting. However thats the extent of my knowledge on alarms....

Hello guys, Just paid to have an Orisec alarm installed in my house. 5 wired PIR's, 2 wireless, 2 door contacts, control panel with wired controller and wireless controller. Came home and HKC kit has been installed. HKC 1070 panel. Anybody advise on diff between the two please? Thanks

No-one can help?

I understand that. I am suprised it doesnt as the Bosch lady said "some of the units do" and it seems like a sensible thing to include. And Bosch not offer a limiter as an extra. Should i get one for the unit and if so can someone recomend one please?

Hello, I have just replaced my old dishwasher with a new Bosch SMS53M08GB. I don't think the missus has used it yet but think I got the pipes the right way round and attached properly. Whats the worst that can happen.. :) I noticed the old unit had a pressure limiter built-in on the water...

The underlay is down, what i learnt: 1) Carpetright massively over calculated the amount of underlay i need. I have 2 full rolls leftover... 2) It isnt as easy as youd think not to touch the gripper nails. My fingers feel like pincushions. 3) I need a sharper blade. The new stanley blade i used...

I purchased tredaire dreamwalk in the end. Was seconds away from buying the rubber duralay majestic, but not sure i wanted to stick a load of rubber down. (My bit for the environment). I was going to get the carpet co to install but all they would say is "weve got a 10mm PU", which my...

Right. Read that nowadays PU is not necessarily inferior to rubber? So I think 2 choices atm: (1) Go PU. Tredaire Dreamwalk seems to be okay (2) Rubber waffle. Duralay Majestic 130. When i get the stairs done. Rubber waffle or if PU is as good i can use that?

Hello, Just converted the loft, which is going to have a carpetted bedroom and family room up there. After being fobbed off by Carpetright with just their PU ranges, Im learning their might be better alternatives... I see Cloud 9 Cumulus has been popular, which looks to be PU based...

Just had a chat with the builder. And yes to be fair to him, he has cleaned up some of the bricks and it does look much better. Im not so bothered about the whiteness as that will age. More concerned about the finish of the joints partly as i am a bit ocd and also cos i know nothing about...
