Yes that's right. Looks like it's that way.

Yes that's right - I can move the entry / exit. The Konnected device has six zones (+/-) and then 12+/-, alarm +/- and Aux-. The issue I've got is that the zones on the previous alarm grouped multiple PIRs. For each zone (plus entry/exit) it looks like I've got a black and red wire (power)...

Hi there, I need some help finishing wiring. I’ve got 5 PIRs - Entrance Hall (which is entrance and exit - when I walk into the house and the house is alarmed it doesn’t go off), Lounge, Kitchen, Utility Room and Study. I would like to ideally see them all individually in SmartThings. I have...

Hi, I've layered in some hardibacker board behind a log burner (I've checked the necessary distance from the stove). I would like to tidy up the line - between the boards. Ordinarily I'd use decorators caulk but obviously this needs to be fire retardent. What would you suggest? The other half...

Yes

It's already brick/masonry at the back - but the cavity between it and the outside wall isn't filled - which is why we're losing heat compared to the rest of the room.

No - it's in the cold (when the fire isn't on) that we're losing almost 4-5C through the back of the fireplace. We don't have the fire on permanently - it means the lounge gets cold (which is the largest room in the house). So hoping this will make a bit of a difference.

Just resurrecting this thread.....any ideas please?

What's the best way to insulate the recess of a fireplace (when I say best I mean both cost effective and safe!). As you will see from the photos I'm using quite a lot of heat out of the back of the recess (when they did cavity wall insulation this bit wasn't insulated). I've had the following...

Hi there We've got a shower which has been playing up and I now can't move the right hand dial enough to get the shower warmer. It has become much harder to turn - so you can't turn it further than a lukewarm temperature. Any ideas what might be causing this? We do also have an issue where...

We have got a shower which is connected to a shower pump in our airing cupboard (Salamander Pump 96-021 38). The shower has a rainforest head and then a normal head. Turning the left hand mixing dial turns the shower on/off and allows switching between the rainforest head and the normal head...

DONE IT!! A lot of twisting and pulling....... O-ring is broken which will explain the problem. Thanks ever so much!

Lifts and comes up a bit but doesn't lift out (either by lifting or lifting and turning).

Will give it another try. It hasn't come out that easily so far....

Thanks for the response - I'll take a look at getting the cap. I can't see the isolation taps for the water. Other issue is that there's no screw for the riser so I can't get it out (or can't appear to work out how to get it out to replace the o-ring).

Thanks that's helpful. I'll try with some ptfe tape - there isn't a screw at the back of the riser to take the riser out completely so I'm not sure how I'd replace the o-ring on the tap.

Hi there, We have got an apparently unbranded (or at least I can't find a name for the brand) tap that is leaking. It's leaking on the base of the riser (where the black washer and white plastic piece) seems to be. I'm not quite sure how to fix it so thoughts welcome. There is space for an...

Hi there, I need a bit of help - sorry, this is a simple question I think! The washer in my kitchen tap needs replacing (the spout rather than the taps themselves). I want to unscrew the central spout, but in order to do that need to turn the water off to the tap. First photo shows the tap /...

Thanks. Sorry, I've not explained it very well. When you press down on the handle, the whole of the handle lifts (i.e. the old padlock currently in place isn't doing anything). I'm not sure fitting a new padlock would work as the same issue would just occur?

Hi there, I'm after some ideas of how to lock an iron garden gate The lock doesn't work - previous owners had a padlock on it (which also wouldn't have worked) - and we dont have the key for that. Any ideas?
