I think it is due to the tempurature changes as we don't have dual tech pirs. Rather than change all our sensors if there was a possibility that 2 would need to be triggered before the alarm goes off that would work perfectly for us for the time being.

Might be a strange question but is there a simple way change a setting on the control panel so that the alarm will only trigger if 2 sensors are activated. We are getting quite a few false alarms and this would solve our problem. Thanks in advance for any advice. :)

I've heard you can paint Denso paint with oil based gloss as said above. Anyone had success doing this? The brown colour doesn't really look the best on a soil pipe.

Think you are correct. I know nothing about mortar but it is black in colour and ashy. So do you think I am safe not getting the wall ties done?

I have not looked at the deeds as they always stayed at my solicitor but 3 houses used to be 1 big house and they are all listed. The house on the end has a coat of arms and was built in 1779 or something like that. However you could be correct the 3 houses have had a lot of messing around with...
