    Honeywell Accenta Mini Gen4 Wired Alarm Control Unit

    Hi, My Galaxy G16+ has been giving me problems for too long now, & I have decided to replace it with a Honeywell Accenta G4. My question is, will my existing ADT alarm/strobe work with the new alarm? Thanks.

    Replacement Combi Boiler

    Dan, perhaps its people like you who are arrogant, thinking you are unique in your profession & any advice you give MUST be taken. Well, it was 2 members of your profession who ripped my lads off in the past, but I dont tar everyone with the same brush, thats why I turned to this Forum for...

    Replacement Combi Boiler

    I do not want to install this boiler myself. I am not a plumber & I am not a gas registered engineer. I am not a craftsman. We simply want to choose the boiler ourselves without any advice from the installer. I asked some very simple questions, I dont want to hear any advice about asking local...

    Replacement Combi Boiler

    Thank`s very much guys. DP. Useless in what context. Useless as it doesn't answer the question. Mains pressure is 3 bar, semi detached house, standard brick, cavity wall, insulated, rooms measured & rads calculated, showers only, no bath to fill. As a layman I suspect a 25kw boiler will be...

    Replacement Combi Boiler

    My lad is having a new combi boiler, his choices are, Vokera Easy Heat 29kw, Ravenheat Combi 25kw, his budget is small so we need a decent boiler for under £600. Any advice please. It will be fitted by a gas registered installer.

    Pointing stock brick wall

    Thanks Vlad! (Dracula). I will check it out. I ground out the old stuff, it seems it was a mastic which has been pointed over with a brown mix that has hardened. (EDIT) What an assortment. Seems like a NHL 3.5 mix in Oakwood Tarn is the perfect replacement. I have sent e mails to a few...

    Pointing stock brick wall

    Thanks for that M8, I have already had a play with the angle grinder & gotten a nice groove. A couple of bricks are very loose & mastic is out of the question. Blocking the nozzle is my main concern, I have used this gun on grout (Tiles) & pointing my own wall with average gaps, so I feel ok...

    Pointing stock brick wall

    Son has a terraced house, about 100 years old, built with red stock brick. The space between bricks is enough to get a diamond angle grinder blade in & create a perfect gap for new mix. I want to use a pointing gun, which is also a grouting gun. The thin grout nozzle is perfect for the job, the...

    New Roof

    Thanks Yorkie, the video was very enlightening, I watched a few others too. At least I understand the reason why the tile is sticking up, would I be correct in assuming either the latt is too high, the bonding tray is high at that point, or the tile is not sat properly on the bonding tray, or if...

    New Roof

    Flashband, yes, a strip covering both sides of the roof where the tiles meet. A house along from us had a new roof & has flashband to cover the two separations. Same as mine was. When I had a new roof 10 years ago, my neighbour said she wanted a flat tile, just like the house across the road...

    New Roof

    No m8, they used to be the small 8 x 4 flat red tiles, my roof was replaced & flashbanding fitted over the join.

    New Roof

    Well, as far as i`m concerned, if it doesnt look right, it isnt right. We had no noise before & I dont intend listening to it in the future. Before my roof was touched, without my (consent), it was flat, looked fine & didnt whistle, & i`m buggered if I will put up with anything less than it was.

    Grout

    Ok, will do, if it doesnt work i`l scrape the bugger

    Grout

    Thanks, the tile is a rough sand faced tile, & the white grout will be very difficult to remove, I did think I could remove most of it, use the colourant, then re grout with the grey grout

    Grout

    They look a bit easier to remove the grout, I did think of trying the colourant http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251336118177?var=550279092030&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT but this is a wet room. The tiles are a sand finish & it would be hard to get all the white grout out without chipping the tiles...
