I have a fully installed texecom premier system at work which we use the proximity tags to arm/disarm. I have the same system at home and recently added a proximity tag keypad so that I can use the same tag for home and work. I added the tag that I used for my work alarm to my home alarm user...

after removal of a fire place I am left with the remnants of a brick wall in the floor and what looks like a few bits DPM (like a tar/roofing felt) from the bottom of the brick stacks. I need to get this up level with the rest of floor, I already have some cemplotex which I was advised I...

I never really understand the hatred that down lighters get from sparks, I am having a new kitchen in and have gone for 12 downlights but the spark doing it suggested a flo tube I had to ask him if he was still living in 1981! The LED bulbs ARE good if you get the right ones, you will need...

I have recently had the chimney breast removed in my old living room but due to the layout of the house it could only be removed up to the ground floor ceiling. The RSJ is already in place and signed off so I am getting ready to put up new plasterboard but I need to cap the bottom of the...

I am putting some new suspended 6ft twin lights in to my workshop, I already have conduit running to the roof above where the light will be hung but what is the correct way to run the cable from the conduit that ends at the roof down to the light? (light will be about 18" lower than the roof)...

I have a Fuse box in my workshop with a 32amp breaker and a 10 amp breaker. The 10amp breaker has a light switch and currently supplies 10 twin flourescent tube lights. The 32 amp breaker supplies one twin socket next to the fuse box. I I need to add 3 twin sockets on the left side of the...
