Hi, Just for the record I bought a kit for c£110 on AliExpress. Arrived within days, and it’s been fitted for a week now. There were cheaper options but I needed to know the dimensions of the indoor monitor and v few adverts provided this information. Verdict? It’s pretty damn good! I needed...

No, looking to buy as a kit. The Tmezon link you sent looks almost perfect. However, not keen on the name plate on the camera unit - we’ve had a brass name plate on the door for years now! Found this as an option too: https://doorentrydirect.com/srs-7052wkit-01tuya-2wire-villa-kit. Pricier, and...

Having thought more about it, I’m leaning towards a system that provides: - Video to monitor (don’t particularly need it connected to a phone) - ability to release door using a phone (kids often forget keys, never ever their phones!) - I’d rather not have a key pad on the external device...

Hi I’m looking to upgrade a v old door entry phone in my house to a video one. It is a single dwelling set-up. From searching online, I don’t find too many brands but the ones I have all start around £250-350...

Great, have ordered now.

Hmm hadn’t thought of that. Maybe same way my phone rings without a clanger?!

Just now loud enough, and there’s a delay when routing thru Bluetooth mini speakers.

Hi For a group activity, held indoors for 20-30 people, I need a device that buzzes. It should buzz continuously for as long as an activation button is pressed using a finger. It shouldn’t vibrate, or play any alarm/siren tune - just a simple buzz sound, that in most cases will be activated for...

Hi, removed the loop and there is a v small leak even although the valiant CW valve beneath the boiler is set at closed. Do you know if this be repaired or will it have to replaced?

Hi I have a Vaillant Ecotec combi boiler. My magnetic filter is leaking and I’m waiting on a new seal to arrive in next few days. I’ve removed the filter and switched off valves at the filter pipework and beneath the boiler on the flow and return pipes. I’m hoping to continue using HW as...

Thanks, just googled and found this, which should do the job...

Thanks, if I had known about these they would’ve been perfect. I don’t think I can retro fit tho.

Hi I’ve just installed about 3m of shower panels in an L shape in my bathroom. It’s not the nearest job I’ve ever done and I now have up to an inch gap where the panels meet the ceiling which is freshly plastered and painted. I think coving might look a bit odd on shower panel walls, and just...

FFS! It’s the thermostatic shower! That’s why when I’ve been closing the CW supply at the boiler, all the hot taps in the house still run at the same flow rate (with CW, of course)! Thanks @Johntheo5 for all your persistence and advice.

This is odd. The DHW at boiler is hot to touch, i.e. the 43 degrees D.04 reading being given is correct. If I grip the pipe it becomes uncomfortable after 5-7 secs. However, 2.5m away, at the kitchen HW tap, the water’s lukewarm! There’s a tee beneath the boiler leading to a WC, and closer to...
