Just remember you'll probably have to cut the end off the coax to get it back out the hole and also cut the copper Telco wire if it's in use. Get yourself a decent prep tool, compression tool, compression fittings and jelly locks if the Telco is in use. VM will attend any faults just now and...

Called 1/4 villas around my way in Scotland. Although all the properties have their own front door.

Hi All, Looking for some help. I am trying to adjust the compression on my front door. I have this hinge. https://upvcspares4repairs.co.uk/fab-fix-haven-hd-composite-door-hinge-black.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvKBBhCXARIsACTePW88CZMzsB_NPi04_nJO5BY9grM4pXuP4dWVeN_0SOhO-gyu2T6XCYsaAsy1EALw_wcB I...

hi anyone able to assist me in matching this skirting board to a profile? need to get a few lengths but not having much luck matching it?? thanks

we had to use 90mm in 100mm cavity to meet the u value, with no additional insulation on the walls on the inside. build currently in progress.

also the link from special k is for a wireless n spec unit. this will provide max speeds of 80mbps, which you may find disappointing with your new gigaclear service depending on your package. the AC1200 will provide in the region of 350-500mbps, depending on the client device.

run cat 6 cable from your gigaclear router or main velop if that is configured in router mode. install on of these in a good spot outside. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C217N5V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1biuFbMPTF3C8 power to the unit runs over the cat 6 as well via the supplied injector. I...

Hi All, Looking for some advice/reassurance on the attached structural engineer design. The house is semi detached two story around 100 years old, the walls are solid sandstone. We are knocking down an existing kitchen extension and rebuilding a bigger version. The steel work shown for the...

a phone line and broadband only work on a single pair hence the need for filters.

most likely water in a joint that was broken down the copper to point of failure.

its nothing to do with the amount of pairs. if you are on fttc then your local copper link for broadband will terminate within your closet cab. the traditional phone line services continues down the copper pair all the all to the exchange. your line has a fault after your fttc cabinet.

a single cat6 cable running from your router to a patch panel in the loft will allow you to pick and choose which point to activate but you would only be able to activate one point. a patch panel is a termation point not a network switch

make sure all the connections are tight. finger tight then a wee turn with your pliers or spanner if you have a 11mm

check what size of cable the coax is probably RG56. buy the appropriate compression f connectors, compression tool and a barrel. prep he cable ends, buy a coax stripper if your not confident with a knife. push the braiding back down and make sure no braid is in contact with the copper stinger...
