Hi guys, I’m a gas safe registered plumber, I also do minor electrical work. Thinking about diversifying into air conditioning. Can anyone tell me which level of F Gas training I’ll need and what additional tools and equipment I’ll need over and above those normally carried by a...

Thanks that’s great!

I own a small 3 bed detached house built in the late 60s, the ground floor radiator pipe work drops down from the ceiling in 15mm copper and is surface run to the radiators. I hate the look of it so my plan is to fit designer radiators and run 10mm plastic chases into the walls. My plan is...

Hi guys! I have an NVR sited in my utility room with 4 IP cameras connected into individual ports on the NVR. I’d like to move the NVR to the lounge so it’s more accessible. There is already a CAT5 cable between utility room and lounge. Can I connect the cameras to a router in the utility...

A quick update. The planning department have emailed me and have said that the pictures I previously sent them don't show the entire building but they agreed that they wont enforce any planning action if I can show them that it was in fact complete. Luckily I do have pictures so I'll sned...

Thanks for all the replies! I've done a bit of research and it seems they cannot enforce any lack of planning on the building as long as I can prove that the building is over 4 years old. Luckily I took a lot of pictures during the build and also have invoices for materials which show it was...

Hi Chaps I have bulit a bike shed at home which I have wired for 2 magnetic contacts, 1 dual-tec, RKP and sounders etc. I was going to use a Veritas R8 panle as they have been around for years and I am familiar with them but I'd quite like to be able to access the system via an app on my phone...

Hi Chaps. I have a standalone fridge and have noticed that it is getting cooler than 14 degrees c but there is a layer of thick frost on the rear of the top section. What could be causing it to ice up yet not get cool enough? Thanks

You might have something there! I wonder if one of the keypads has got some water in it!!

Got called to a house today with a strange problem, it wouldn’t actually do it when I was there but the customer had recorded to the sound for me. Symptoms are when the system is unset it randomly makes a two tone sound the same as you get during power failure but then it’s followed a few...

I’m not sure the elderly customer will want to close an isolation valve every time she goes to bed! It would work though

Hi chaps! Last week I replaced a float valve in a CWS vessel which was passing. The CWS vessel is located in a bedroom cupboard and the customer is complaining because she can hear it dripping for a couple of hours after she goes to bed. I popped in to have a look today and it does drip...

Thanks for the advice regarding the smoke! I’m not sure what make and model the burner is but it’s a Danfoss BFP 11 pump. I won’t be there until tomorrow night but I will see if I can get any more information. Thanks again
