yes, new build. developer installed the cables. I think ill go searching for where these cables meet. Thanks

ok folks, We are talking about small diameter white cables with 6 coloured cores inside. I do not have an alarm panel installed and there is voltage in these wires. Where would the voltage be coming from? When I turn the mains off, there is no voltage running through the cables, when I...

The cables are connected to the mains (i am assuming)..... and have been run through the downstairs. How come I could not read a constant voltage?

I am a complete novice, but I do feel confident enough to try this work. Is the Main pannel the main Fuse box? What will this tell me? or is it the Main pannel the main alarm panel? This is not installed yet. What has been installed is the Cables for the Alarm system (not by me). 1...

Hi folks, I haven't found a solution to this problem yet. Im not sure where the main panel is and what it would tell me. What I did do is borrow a voltage meter and strip each of the 6 coloured wires and test their voltage, thinking that the voltage would match what it says on the...

Hi, I am wondering does anyone know where I could get my hands on a colour coded diagram for wiring in motion sensors for my alarm. In the instructions that came with the sensors it gives the voltage and I have no clue which of the 6 coloured wires is the correct voltage to connect to the...

ok. i thought the service valves would only let water travel one way, my mistake. Will get new taps and probably try through the builder first we will see how that goes! Cheers folks

Thanks for all the replies. I think JohnD has it sussed. I have a service valve on the hot and cold water pipes going into the mixer taps in the Kitchen. I turned the hot water one off with a screw driver and the noise stopped immediately. The steady stream from the overflow pipe stopped...

JohnD I think I have seen a service valve. I must check tonight to make sure. Are you saying that the leak will be into the hot water pipes, which would in turn back up and fill the tank in the loft? I have noticed that when you stop running the hot water. leave it a few seconds and...

baxpoti Yes. I have another small tank in the loft. It is beside the large tank on the same level. This tank has an overflow pipe aswell but it does not drip. I dont know what this tank does? Thanks for your reply

JohnD I have a mixer tap on the kitchen sink where I can hear the mains water noise. The cold water comes from the mains and the hot is tank fed. Im not sure if there are service valves on the pipes feeding the mixer tap. Could you tell me how to check this. Thanks for your reply.

In the last three weeks I have noticed a noise coming from the kitchen sink. The noise sounds like moving water in the mains cold water pipe. The house is about a year old, so I got the builder round and he said that the mains pipe entered the house under the kitchen sink. He noticed a...
