We noticed after arriving back from a weekend away that the ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen are making a crunching/cracking sound when we walk on them. They were fine before we went away. Also, the grout in between some of the tiles has cracked and a couple of the tiles have hairline cracks...

Appreciate the replies. We found what we think was the source behind the bed. The room has been thoroughly powdered with the Rentokill stuff and sprayed as well. Whilst the quantity appears to be dwindling we're still finding some around the house mainly upstairs and down the stairs. The plan...

Bit of an odd request but I wondered if anyone could give me any suggestions on this. For the last week or so we've been finding woolly bears (carpet beetles) on one specific side of the bedroom and in the last day in the downstairs toilet. So far we've put carpet beetle powder around the...

Ah fair enough. Understandable really.

Ah right. I will contact them. I don't pay the annual maintenance though so I'll have to figure out a way to get them to give me the code.

A local alarm company installed it a couple of years ago. If I enter what they told me was the engineer code after pressing d it just lets me scroll through with exactly the same options as if I'd entered the user code. If I enter the engineer code from the home screen that shows the time...

I tried both.

I tried putting the engineer code but this just brings up the standard options user options.

Ah is that all you have to do? Great will do this in a bit. Appreciate your help with this mate.

Great thanks. Do you know what the process is to get into the engineers menu?

If the sounder could be programmed to a lower volume that would probably work great. I have the engineers code. Is it a straightforward thing to change?

We've got a Castle Care Tech Euro Mini alarm system. It's configured so that it emits entry delay countdown beeps if the hallway PIR is activated to give us time to disarm it. Does anyone know if it's possible to delay the countdown beeps at all? It doesn't matter too much about the beeps...

I'll wait to have it looked at.

I spoke to my plumber/heating engineer. Top bloke. He suggested trying to reset/replenish the air gap first - said I'd need to find out how to do this but it might resolve the problem. Failing that he was happy to have a look. He is G3 qualified also.

Cheers.

Yes - the people I'm intending on calling are G3 qualified.

Lol. Meant to say call A plumber tomorrow. Usually only need a plumber for the yearly boiler service.

You're not being rude at all. You're spot on. I have a basic understanding of the system but wish I knew more - especially when problems occur. Will call the plumber tomorrow.

I've just had a closer look. There aren't any other gauges in the airing cupboard. This gauge is attached near the top of the red expansion tank. Actually the reading is 0.8 - the red line at 1.2 is fixed and part of the plastic cover I believe. So the pressure is actually less than what it...

The red line on the PRV is at 1.2 bar. I've read via google that the pressure should be between 1 and 2 bar so this would indicate the pressure is correct I think.
