Any advice? The wife is giving me grief about not ordering the front door

Hi Mr B, sorry if it come across like that, that's honestly not the case. I just always like to do the job right first time. Thanks for all your input on the thread.

I'm sure I read that duct tape, ironically shouldn't be used for sealing ductwork and the adhesive fails and causes leaks? What's the consensus on this?

That's great, thanks for your help, you have been very helpful.

So, I'm now considering a single 4-inch fan with dual extraction points with solid piping. I just think it'll be easier to work with. I get the vibe that everyone thinks 6inch is a bit overkill. Question about the solid piping. Presumably, any bends or joins should be welded via solvent cement...

Okay, sounds like I might be best off getting somebody into sort all of this as I can see me screwing something up otherwise. Wonder if there's anyone local that knows the Heatmiser systems, I'm in Southampton? So just to confim; if I have the wires/power from my room stat (if I need 4 wires...

Thanks, I will take a look.

Yeah, it was more so about where I put the cable once disconnected. I have somebody at work I will ask before I pay any money.

Yes, I have one. I will give it a go. I'll Google where to stick my probes ;)

Cheers Andrew, I had a look today in the junction box and it looks pretty scary inside. I've attached an image below showing what I've got. If it's just a case swapping like for like, I might be up to it! The problem is, if I finish and something doesn't work, then I will be in for it!! So, as...

50 volts, that's a bit worrying..... I'll give BT a ring. Fortunately, I'm in an 18-month deal now. Thanks for everyone's help here

Sounds good advice, will do. So is there any power fed down this cable? I know all about the VM price increases.... Have to do battle with them every 18 months!!

Haha, I see what you mean now, when you said pole, I thought that was a techy name for the BT socket :D. There aren't any telephone poles so it must go underground. So bearing in mind that I don't need it currently, is there any reason why I shouldn't cut it? Do any of the cables supply power...

We've only been here for 18 months but yes, we had Vigin installed although I don't think they use fibre, as far as I know it's coax from the roadside to their router. I've never plugged in the phone as I got fed up with cold calls. When you say a line from the pole, are you asking if I have a...

Ah, I'll be knocking down that porch at some point. Also, my current phone line (not that I've ever plugged in a phone to it) is supplied by Virgin media so guessing I don't need it. Who would I ring to investigate, any ideas?

Thanks everyone. Feel a bit silly now wondering if it was a door bell. Is or was there power going to it? Can I cut and remove?

Hi all, I have this bolted to the inside of my porch. I'm assuming it's an old doorbell but can't be sure? Does anyone know?

I'm hoping to purchase a new front door for my house. I'm after a Hormann thermo46 metal-framed composite front door. I'm ordering it online as I don't have any installers nearby. Consequently, I'll have to measure it myself which makes me a little nervous as it will be a big expense if I get...

Ah, you might be right.... I'd Googled it and assumed they were the Slimline V3 but I think you are right and they are PRT-W. Yes, I definitely have the UH1-W. Thanks for the updated list. I will have a good look tomorrow and post back with any questions. Is replacing all of the above...

Hi Andrew, thanks for the reply. I currently have the Heatmiser UH1-W and the slimline v3's I have are battery-powered and connect to the UH1-W via RF presumably. I was told that to make the system smart, I'd need what I listed?? Are the neo stats battery-powered of 230v? It's all a bit...
