Hi all, appreciate it's been a few weeks that this thread does not have a reply, but i have the same question. Specifically... Solid wood exterior door + frames are currently painted white. Paint is old and needs re doing. The door is rear entrance to a garage. Advice on steps to be taken to...

Hi thanks for the reply. So from an aesthetic perspective, to confirm I could ask to replace the double socket on the main ring and replace with a fuse spur....And in case where the fuse should ever pop, tHe main ring will continue to work uneffected? Generally what is better, spurring a FCU...

Hi all. Old thread but it goes well to answering my question so wanted to avoid starting another. I'm currently planning for aesthetics and decor so can request what I want when the times comes where within reason minimising decor disruption. Having read the above and the formentioned...

Sorry folks but none of this is really helping me as what is being debated here is more higher level. I am surprised these forums are not administered as this is off topic. I ask which specific Visonic system I should be looking at for my link and no one could really help. Instead a...

Thanks for the link...but I looked a bit deeper to this page - which is suggested for DIY? http://www.e-fireandsecurity.co.uk/visonic-powermax-alarms/c2 So this one would be better than the Yale I originally linked. Folks - please can we keep to the topic - appreciate its a good...

What is the visonic DIY equivalent. Powermax plus or something ...? There are a few so it's confusing links would be appreciated Thanks

Understand. Its a balance that I need to strike. How much config and set up would be needed on say the Yale system? Do the PIRs need micro adjustment attention or just pointing in the right direction is ok.

Thanks for the responses. BernardGreen - if you are an installer please can you PM me your website / trade contact details if you do new installs. thanks.

Hi Thanks for your response. Another question how good are kits such as: http://www.screwfix.com/p/yale-wireless-4-room-alarm-kit/54473 other DIY type kit suggestions welcome. and are they simple enough to DIY? My main concern is around if they need any special positioning or...

hi again going for the OV system, installer checked out pressure etc etc talked to us for a while about out needs and also related that back to pressure and we all agreed the ov SYSTEM is best for us. one questions remains - do we need to change all the pipework or not. There are no...

Hi all, thanks for the useful responses. I have concluded that I wont go wrong with either Drayton or Honeywell (@£75 extra). Final question which I think was partly answered but not sure - are IFLO and drayton products the same thing?

Hi, Our heating engineer is suggesting to use IFLO branded heating controls? I have been told they are, they are made by LifeStyle - but I have not heard of LifeStyle either - just Drayton LifeStyle... Can any one shed light on this IFLO brand. I have the option to pay £75 and go for...

sorry to come back to this. I understand durability stainless steel is better. what about heat retention and reheat times? is one better than the other. assume all other factors are same im looking at the envirofoam gledhill

Hi, We want to get an alarm system fitted and someone has recommended a scantronic alarm system. The specific system was the ION16 with multiple PIRs, door contacts and window shock sensors. Are these good? Also what other brands should I be going for when getting quotes? What...

So from the sounds of it and from whats been said in the last few posts I wont really go wrong with the Valliant 4xx or equivilent glowworm?

No efficiency in a more generic way mentioned earlier in the post nothing significant to be fair. Basically I want to get the best open vent boiler I can get . I had it down to WB vs vaillaint but heres my of negatives: Vaillaint: Problem with frothy pipes - is this really valid...

Mixied views on this e.g. the glowworm is not as efficient as the 418. Is the veissman a definate better choice? or am I better of with the WB

With regards to your latter comment, a very good point. I guess I've always been one to double check things!

Thank for your advice, to best honest the only advice I am after is the best type of boilers if I am to stock with a OV. What is it that I dont understand? Thats why I am on this forum asking questions. Please enlighten me. I wont digress by further discussing the quotation options.

Whilst you all add value to my posts and for that I am grateful, I am quite new to these forums but a long standing member of other subject forums. Some of these assumptions are simply incorrect. I have had gas registered installers advice me, but l think it is also sensible to verify any...
