Yes, looks like I could be putting the wired doorbell back up. Either that or go to the trouble of taking the wiring/transformer/chime out and getting a standard wireless one. Seems such a waste though, as some electrician has gone to a great deal of trouble to put that in (for the previous...

I have made some enquiries with Friedland and they tell me that a wired chime with wireless button does not exist. But, like you say, some of the Friedland wireless chimes can be mains wired as an alternative, so they're wrong there. That coventer you mention is the opposite of what I need...

Thanks for your reply. Is what you describe one of those plug in chimes though. As what I am after is a mains wired-in chime, but with a wireless button.

[/url] Thanks very much, I will contact them and see if they have anything.

Thanks for your reply. The problem with that is, I would have to remove all of the existing wiring, as I wouldn't just leave it there, which might leave some mess but most of all seems a little pointless when all I could do (hopefully) is simply remove the old chime and replace with a...

Thanks for your reply. There is no brickwork, never has been, there's nowhere to mount the button except for on the PVC frames.

I currently have a wired doorbell and chime which is connected via a transformer straight into the consumer unit. We've just had new windows, PVC, and it's such a good job that I'm loathed to drill through the frame to re-fit the button and cable. Is there such a beast as a wired doorbell chime...

It's a gun barrel from a giant's colt 45.

That took you a while. Been looking up the word amortise have you? You're just gonna say the next person down the line will pay for it, but it's not ME is it!!!!!!! :roll: No, your posts are far from error free, as you'll see from my corrections which you continue to err...'fail' to read...

That'a just a silly thing to say, quite typical of your posts, mind you. I don't pay for quotes. Said that already. Don't know anyone that does. I think you're trying to get at the fact that it all gets amortised in job costs. If I get a quote for a new roof. And I don't get a new roof...

It's perfectly clear that you're not reading entire posts, especially when you're corrected.

Still not reading posts. I correct you and put you straight, you don't read it and just say the same thing again!

LOLOL :D Nice one!

Hello again, how nice to hear from you. You seem to be being unusually dense. (Your words, not mine) See previous posts, but READ them this time. No disrespect, but have you had some home troubles lately, your posts (not just here but elsewhere) are fuelled by bitterness and anger. Calm down...

It's great this, it's like a game of ping pong. Yes, 2 others might have suspected that I was a rogue customer, and suggested as such. I replied to those I think, if I remember rightly, and explained nothing could be further from the truth. I hope/think they then thought otherwise, as there...

Hi Softus, thanks for yet another post, you sure do have a lot of time to spend on these boards. Nah, I didn't make up my mind beforehand, that's why I started this thread, to find out opinions on my scenario. Here and elsewhere. That's why (as I have already explained) I put the job on hold...

Hi Softus, thanks for taking the time for yet another detailed post. I think you should refrain from the personal attacks though. You think I'm wrong. I think you're wrong. There you go, not much else to say then!

Hi Softus, thanks for yet another very long but well laid out post. I will jump to a couple of important points, as I wish to put you right on those - I call it a deposit as that was what his wife called it. She actually left a message stating that they required £1300 deposit. So there you...

Hi Softus, thanks for your very long and well laid out reply, you sure have a lot of time on your hands, much more than I have these days... A lot of it is going over old ground and around in circles, and I think you're wrong with most everything you've put. But the points I find most...

Glad you liked it. It was only a joke. :D It couldn't have been much else. I don't feel I've lost any argument about my issue. In fact, I don't even see an argument there. I simply asked if what the window guy was asking for was normal practice or quite usual to do, as I thought it was odd...
