I have a spare Horstmann 425 Tiara programmer but the back has been taken off and it requires putting back together. I cant work out how to do this. Has anyone got a parts diagram as to where the parts fit? cheers.

I would like some advice on the following problem that i have- I have an extension that has a roof 6mts wide by 3.5mts deep. The existing guttering is the normal size but it prevents me from changing some fence panels. I would like to change the guttering for the mini profile type. Would...

I have never used these type of fittings before. I always use soldered or compression joints. I have a small alteration job to do and the first joint will be very awkward to get to. Using a push-fit fitting will make life much easier. From a plumbers point of view:- 1.what do you think of...

Everything went well :lol: apart from having to call out water authority to replace stoptap in street as this was also solid. At least i should now be alright in the event of any problems in the furure :D Thanks again.

What fittings do you suggest as i am not sure of the incomming pipe apart from it is copper and its outside diameter is very very close to that of 15mm pipe :?:

Turned my stopcock off today to change some taps and when i tried to turn it back on it only moves a tiny bit (even with a spanner). I have just a trickle of water comming through. It will still turn off but will only turn on a little. :( I need to fit a new stopcock. I have done a bit of...

Thanks for your advice, I am considering buying the Texecom Veritas Excel unit, i would like your opinion on this and any good/bad points it has. Thanks again,

lvsystems, You say "At the lower end of the scale a good all rounder for domestic installation is the pyronix sterling 10" What is the difference between the lower end and top end of domestic alarms?

Ok point taken :) now i just have to find a good reliable make but do not have much to do with alarm side of things.

The reason i was looking at a speach dialer was that i have relatives about 5 mins away and if alarm was activated it couls dial them and they could have a look and see if all ok etc.

Thanks breezer, going back to the point about setting and unsetting the alarm using a telephone, i was looking at a Yale wire-free alarm and it quotes- "facility to call up to 6 numbers as well as set/unset by remote control worldwide" I thought this was done using a speed dialer. If...

I am looking to install a new wired alarm system but cannot decide on a make. I am looking for reliability, ease of installation, ease of use, etc. Are there any alarm engineers out there who can recommend a particular make and model of alarm from experiance? Also i am looking at the...

I am having the chimney taken down and rebuilt on my house. My chimney is quite tall in comparison with some others on my street. There does not seem to be a standard height in this area. What is the minimum height the chimney needs to be above the apex of the roof? I have a gas fire with a...

Thanks for your help. I cant post any pictures as i have got rid of it at the moment but it will come back again. The house is not a new build, it is about 50 years old. The chimney is between the kitchen and living room so it is not an outside wall and the "efflouresence" is only occuring...
