Update: 2 window shock sensors 1 front door contact 6 PIR's 2 Panic Buttons Bellbox on front. What would be a sensible replacement for this panel and system. We don't want one that calls out or uses apps. We have a strong and active community of retired people that are our friends in the...

Appreciate the responses. Take a look: Pad shows St - basic clean and reset needed. I wonder if there are fuses in it that should be replaced as a matter of course? Could anybody tell em if the fuses should be replaced as a matter of course - since even if they are 'working' - they have...

Last serviced five years ago. 5 PIR's 2 Shock Sensors 2 Panic Buttons One door contact Bell & Strobe. What would be a reasonable price for the service/recommission?

I'm grateful for your replies, I've paid to have my valliant boiler serviced every year - by finding engineers through an engineers forum. Turned out most had the generic skills needed for boiler servicing - but most did not know the graphite filters in my *particular model* needed vacuuming...

Hi all, 15 year old Premia 9 alarm. I want to get a full intensive service done to it - and any fixes / improvements done. I obtained a copy of the original service manual - which is blank. What is the right language to be using when putting together an advert for this job. Am I asking for...

From Homebase / B&Q / Wickes - Could I get a UPVC (or PVC?) Panel that is about 180 by 180? If not - where? It seems to me - the prioirty should be on getting a good seal to prevent water ingress over the long term? The panel has to be thick enough to transfer the load, to the mastic so it...

I appreciate the contributions here - I am moderately competent at DIY. The hole was the correct size as according to the Manrose Kit instructions. Don't fancy having the bricks knocked out and hole re-drilled. If I've understood correctly - members are suggesting that it's better to make good...

New cooker hood - req 150mm to cover warranty - powerful unit. Purchase “150mm Rigid Aluminium - Manrose Cooker Hood Kit”. In box instructions – bore a 720mm correction 172mm hole for ease of fitting. So I did (Pics). Next - looked at the rest of the kit. Included gravity grille = 150mm...

Hi all, I just received back from ADEY a recertified/refurbished Magnaclean Twin-Tech which I do not have need of. I also have five service kits, a pair of brand new valves and both the plastic spanners/wrenches needed for servicing & a bottle of inhibitor. Is there somewhere on the site I can...

At this point - I'm asking for advice on where & what brand to buy - basic plastic toilet seat which is easy to clean. I must be able to buy a backup set of fixings for it - so I don't have to go through this again when a bolt/hinge beaks in the future.

Please show me - I am not experienced in such fastenings. I'm assuming that there is alot of flex and movement on any fastenings/joints as people move on the seat, so I am open to any advice.

Thanks for the responses. I've made a guess that the provided bolts were plastic for some good reason. I'm just having a hard time sourcing a swap. Screwfix, Toolstation, Homebase, B&Q = no joy. So asking for help.

My buttocks have moulded perfectly to the shape of the seat over many years. Don't want to ruin a good thing. Still asking for help with sourcing replacements - for these bolts!

Hi all, Toilet seat secured by plastic bolts. Shank diameter = 8.5 mm. I need help on how I can get a replacement set without wasting money and time with a new seat. The bolt is centred perfectly in a steel washer - so I want to try and find a direct 8.5mm (Max) swap. Also - the fasteners -...

Thank you both for replying. I've shot an email across to Lunns too. I spoke to wirquin - then sent them the pics - spoke to Holly in technical. She said that she doesn't recognise the mechanism - and can't be sure its wirquin. Can I ask for some new suggestions - picasso - how sure are you...

Hi all, Can you ID the manufacturer of the item in the pics? Need to replace the push button and rear mechanism only - don't want to remove anything from the tank. Hope members can help. My genuine thanks for anyone willing to chip in. SirlLancelot.

Basically - I want to avoid the pitfalls that seem to happen to the public in this area. What should I ask for, what should be included - I want to avoid regrets or problems for what should be a straightforward job. Been caught out by too many a cowboy, and now I have little tolerance for bull...

If I were to start again, What would be a sensible approach. I'm going to 'DIY' it.

Hi Joe, Would genuinely appreciate any input/advice you can provide. SirLancelot

Hello all, Need to replace the whole upvc window (one next to satellite dish), as the frame has been cracked/broken by someone attempting forced entry (unsuccessfully) at some point with a crowbar (hard to see in pics). I’m asking for advice on how to approach the task, so I get a good result...
