Grand... I'll do it as I planned then.. sure the Planning guy won't mind the change... It's nothing he'd be concerned about is it?.... ok.. thanks

I’m just about to build a small bathroom in my new extension. The extension is single story 3m x 3m to be used as an office / utility and to house the downstairs toilet.... the bathroom will be stud walls to two sides and outside walls on the other two so it’s going in one of the corners as you...

Ok. Many thanks for that. They do sell them down to 24" but thought they may be intended for pantry doors or something. Although why you'd need a fire door on a cupboard?

Yes. Cheers guys. Got all that and a sloping floor in the garage as well. But just need to get 1.2 mtrs worth of appliances against the house wall resulting in there only being room for a 27" door. Don't want building inspection making me take it down as it needs to be 30" min or something! Or...

Hi Guy's.. I'm building a new extension on the back of my house that will cover the back wall of the garage.. I want to put a door through but whats the min size?.. its a dwelling and there don't appear to be much about it.. the door i've got is 686 x 1981 x 44... will this be okay or are the...

I've called the LABC today.. and as it's a Part P cert he's happy that the next inspection is on completion... so no more visits until the job is done... :) . not sure about the rest what you are on about ?? :)

well I can install 3 phase plant anywhere in the world and have a copy of the 17th edition... But no, not really?.... :)

Thats interesting... just txt him and he says :- '' I'm authorised to certificate work done by other electrical contractors who are not registered''..... So as long as I do it right, he's okay with that?.. does that ring true??

Sounds like a plan. Assume its allowed. Mind you it don't resolve the lights unless I do something similar. Or could chase it out after?

Ok.. well thanks for the reply. I'm actualy a Engineer and spend a lot of time working on 415v 3 phase.... I can design the machines, build them, loom them, make the electrical panels, thest the finished unit and sell the thing... even install in the USA as they are UL / CSA approved, but I...

OK.. see what you mean... so he's got to do the full job... TBH he'd be okay with me doing it.. but your right... it does say he's got to install it also.... On the application all it says is that it must comply to the standards.... :( great.. so looks like I'm stuck ... Reading the...

Is it that hard?.. I need 3 socketts low down and one at worktop height... do you just come up to them.... and can you run light wires horizontal.... and if you can, do they need protection and do they have to be at a certain height?.... All I want to do is run the wires... he can do the...

HI All.. I had the electrician booked for today to drop in the wires before the plasterer comes at weekend to put the boards on. He didn't arrive so I've called him and he's sat on a beach in Crete or somewhere :( So, I'm going to have to put the wires in myself.... :? I'm okay with this...

No, I don't have a remote pad right now. But would like one so we can set the alarm from upstairs.. Mind you if I'm replacing everything it may be best to get a remote controlled unit with a blipper thing ☺ ??

Yes, all working fine but will have a look this weekend. If it could be a battery issue, it probably is as its years old. Bet you cant get the bits now like pcbs etc? Looks like you have to buy the full box but they appear to be £30 or so all in.... I'll get one with a back light. TBH id like...

Ok. So 0v to TR solves the problem.. Anti tamper back in and it works perfect.. So the problems in the box. Its fair to say its 20 year old so could be rusted up.. Or is it just a battery. Anyway thanks for help so far😊

yes.. was thinking that myself... think B&Q do some... maybe getting it on a rag and rubbing the joint see if i can rub the colour bit out a bit... will give it a go ;)

ok... will do both tonight as see if it improves things... I'm guessing I can just take the TR out also instead of going 0v?

Hi. Yes, wires left in.... And I've not done the bell trigger. How does this work and what's it prove? 😃

okay.. update if anyone can help?... 13.99v on the charge .. 13.66v on the battery... connect my motorbike battery its still does the same (tamper lite on when setting) even with the tamper linked out... also tried a system re-set and it wont do it?.... is the thing fubared??....
