well the only ones i know are the ones that just stick there - they are in no way connected to an electric supply as they ahve their own battery i had some done by a fireman a while ago , and they do them for free , but dont quote me on that ,if you dont have them they were very good

presumably you got or will be getting building approval ? i would say though as we have had exceptionally bad weather could be just then - make sure that if the pointing had been disturbed it might need re doing. we had same thing done to our house years ago by safestyle - no problmes...

im glad im not a builder - its very complicated

i would check with your local council building/planning and make sure that you get things right before you start - better off long term as if you want to sell your house in the future you will have to supply documentary evidence to any work including planning permissions and fensa certificates...

yes its called something like that - well if school hadnt filled my head with useless stuff like shakespeare and moses and scotts visit to the antartic and if they had taught us some DIY and electrics then we wouldnt have to post on here
