Hi, I am looking into fitting wood flooring in my hall,at present there is a carpet and underlay over Marley tiles on a solid concrete floor built circa 1970.My question is what do I need in terms of underlay and possible dpm? I will be buying the flooring from one of the local diy outlets and...

Also for future reference the tiles you removed probably contained asbestos,Marley tiles i think they are called it was common practise in the 1970s to lay them on a coat of bitumen.

You can only do so much if the toerags are determined enough they will get in,lock the windows and leave a key or keys near by so you can unlock them in a emergency and make sure all family members know where the key is.

Surely if you lock the window handle locks this would solve your problem (unless they cut a huge circle in the glass). Also if you fail to lock the handles on your windows this normally voids your home insurance if they break in via the window.(see cillla black)

You could look into a hybrid system where only the pirs and door contact are wireless

Can any of you helpful chaps please tell me if the above pir should flash when activated after the initial set up period,after initial set up or when you tamper with the pir the red led will flash when the pir is triggered, after 20-30 minutes this stops happening and when you do the walk test...

No the cable cleats were for a cctv camera cable installed on the same day.

Thanks secureiam. I have done the walk test and they dont trigger very quickly , i dont know if thats down to the pet tolarance pir but i can walk into one of the rooms and walk around it waving my arms and wont trigger, then come back to that room and it does ?? Does day mode mean during...

They dont flash even if left over night so they dont flash when left alone or when you move around in front of them,i pretty sure they are pet sensitive pirs i would just like to know what they are supposed to be doing. I have done a walk test and they dont flash then,this was when i discovered...

Thanks for your replies, even first thing in the morning after no one has walked in front of them the flashing red led does not come back on i am pretty sure they are pet friendly pirs . As for the installer he was abit of a joke, he crossed over the hall and dinning room pirs,(the hall one is...

I have just had a i-on 16 alarm fitted by a installer ,the pirs are wireless but stopped flashing shortly after it was installed and have now not flashed for 24hrs+ The led has not been disabled and the pirs appear to work when the alarm is set and i simulate a intrusion. I have aked the...

I take it she has filters got on everything, if not that would explain the random noise .

As above ring the that number and tell them it is dangerous, you will have a engineer out and the problem sorted with in four hours. It will be classed as a damage report which goes to the top of the work stack. P.S if it is the really old cable that looks like two piano wires (uninsulated)...

Sorted ,the original wiring to the boiler was the problem, the earth and neutral were crossed over on the boiler connection and had probably been running like this for years before I purchased the house.

The mcb for the heating and immersion heater are on the same side as the mcb for the sockets,it trips if you turn the heating on but not when the immersion is switched on. The strange thing is the mcb for the sockets and the mcb for the heating/immersion heater cuts the power to the switch in...

Hi I have just had a new consumer board fitted,it is a split load board with two rcd`s to protect the circuits. I now have the problem that when the heating or hotwater via the old y plane central heating is switched on it trips the rcd. If you flip the mcb for the immersion and...

Read the isis next time your sat in your van , less t its than the sun but more informative :D

if he does complain and you will get a new window as drilling a upvc window voids the guarantee and is a big no no,openreach engineers are told NOT to drill through windows

Wrong the purpose of the sleeve is to prevent the tensioners from slipping back up the dropwire. :wink:

I am going to modernise the house then rent it out i will be getting the boiler and controls changed. I have only just picked up the keys and am trying to get my head around how the heating system is controlled
