I'm looking at installing a Graphic eye system in my house but they are really over my budget. Is there another alternative which does the same> I need about 8 zones and about 3 wall stations/switches. Any idea's? Thanks

I'm rewiring my house in the next few weeks and want to put a few gadgets in on the AV side. Any recomendations??

Yes thanks for your input matey. I'm glad you know it all. I suppose you were born with your knowledge and haven't learnt it at any point in your life. Isn't that what this forum is for, finding out information? I'm a sparkie mate but haven't worked on the fire alarm side of things before...

The panel is called fire safe..

Hi I have a power fault with a fire panel. The supply to the panel is on and the green power light is on but the fault won't clear by resetting the panel. Is this the batteries that need replacing? Thanks in advance .

This is a very stupid question but i'm unsure the best way to do it. I'm fitting a thrmostatic shower in my bathroom and unsure of how to position the elbow compression joint which goes directly into the shower unit. ie when the male part of the elbow is tight in the shower the connection for...

I have a little damp on the walls in the house i'm buying and from what the surveyer has said there is no damp course. I've seen damp proofing kits on the internet for injecting a resin or silicone into the brickwork. What are these kits like and do they do the job? Thanks

Its ok for it to leak.... we need a new roof too so a few drips shouldn't be a problem :wink:

Yes I agree, but I would be happy to pay them double and more than that as i would be getting the job done cheaper still. Really I just need like you say to find someone that is happy to work with me. I could leave all the pipework exposed so they can check joints etc as the house is currently...

I know what you mean, I'm a spark myself and DIYers doing my job is always slightly dangerous... As long as I leave the gas to the experts.... what could possibly go wrong? :lol: :oops: I'll get my diy book out... :wink:

Thanks Tony. Yes that sounds like a good idea, I will have to find someone that is willing to do them bits for me. I wanted to do as much as possible which I was thinking would include hanging and connecting up the boiler (apart from the gas and flue) So what you are saying that the boiler...

Lol thanks for that. Not sure they go in depth enough some how. I know its ambitious but I'm an ambitious person. Any more advice?

I'm looking at installing my own central heating system and was wondering where I can get the info on how to calculate correct size rads and pipes etc. I've fitted a bathroom before but nothing on this scale. I was planning on using polypipe to make it easier etc. Obviosly gas will be carried...

but is it worth trying to get the entire system flushed? Should it not be part of their maitenence procedure?

I gather that the trv should be fitted on the flow side of my new towel rail but on my old towel rail it for some reason was fitted to the return side. I will have to alter the pipework to fit it on the flow side so is it acceptable to leave the trv on the return side. Also the reason for me...

Is there a solution to it happening. Do I have a claim do you think for a new rail? Why does it happen?

Hello, I live in a ex council flat that has communal heating. We fitted a new bathroom about 4 years ago which included a new towel rail. I noticed a few weeks back it has started dripping water and just thought that it was one of the compression joints leaking but after tracing it its...

Take a chill pill you lot. :shock: Advice not a price is what I was after. I think I have a good idea now for you guys that have given advise. :wink:

About £400 8) by someone that knows what they're doing!! I just wanted to understand that all the valves are worth replacing and that the price was about right. I'm a spark after all so I know as well as you guys jobs arn't always straight forward...

Yes but you are a rogue trader :lol:
