Thanks, I'll start looking for best prices currently. Presume there aren't any kits which have only those three components? The kits i've seen seem to bundle com2400 with the panel/keypad.

Could be an issue with the battery as you say. Unfortunately we seem to get power cuts a few times a year. Worse still sometimes the power bounces several times while the engineers try to work around the issue. The alarm triggers when the power goes out and when it restores. I presumed the...

I installed an Accenta G4 in my home 10 years ago. Whilst I'm largely happy with it, in recent years we've started suffering power cuts in our area. This triggers the alarm and if we're not home someone has to head over to disarm it. I have CCTV setup, with UPS backup for the router and server...

Ahh. What would be the point of that from the customers perspective. I understand getting more then one quote if its a big job, but why not just be open about that. Anyway I have the opposite issue. The roofer recommended by a friend came to my house, got up a ladder and took a proper look. I...

? Thats gone way over my head

Thanks for the reply, i'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Recently I appear to be having issue after issue with my house :( Now its the roof. It was changed 5 years ago, the neighbour was having theirs done and the roofer was prepared to offer a competitive quote if both houses were done at the same time. Unfortunately he's since shut his company and...

Just to update the thread for anyone else that comes along with the same issues/questions: 1) They were filters and not stop valves. Opened them an cleaned them 2) Shutting off the mains didn't cause any issues as you all advised. 3) Finding a matching cartridge was a PITA. Lots of generic ones...

Near Uxbridge

Should have asked before I tried chipping away at the grout :D Given myself a job repairing that now :/ Will shut it off (looks like theres a stop near the boiler/megaflow) tomorrow after kids and Mrs have had there shower/bath. Just in case something goes wrong :D And this has reminded me I...

Both the Megaflow and shower are on the top floor of the house. Would I be better off shutting the cold supply from the mains, draining until the show stops running? I'm just concerned about issues refilling the system without air pockets/etc. Never had to drain/refill an unvented hot water...

Removing the grout on the access panel is a PITA. Has anyone got any experience of using the dremel grout remover attachment, or a dedicated remover? I could just rake it out, but presume I will need to access the other bathrooms stop valves as well to change the cartridges (havent dripped yet...

:( Another thing to worry about in that case. Especially considering there are 2 bathrooms and 1 shower room. And its been 8 years, so whilst I have some spare tiles, I probably wont be able to get any more now if the boarding fails and needs replacing.

Thanks for the response. I'm coming to the conclusion they are in fact filters/non return valves for the mixer :( I've cut out some more of the board and can see one of the supply pipes runs down towards the bath. So think (hope) the plumber has put stop valves under there. There is a...

Hmmm, having done some further searching I presume these are in fact the filers/check valves :( I guess (hope) the stop valves are under the bath as there is a grouted in panel there. But I'd presumed that was for accessing the drain, rather then stop valves, as to me it would have made sense...

My concealed mixer has developed a drip so I figured it was time to change the cartridge. I took the controls and panel off and the tiler had only cutout for the 3 controls, so I had to use a holesaw to expose what I presume are the stop valves either side of the mixer control. (I mention this...

Concealed Mixer

I have an 8m (l) x 2m (w) raised frame with joists at 400 centres. I plan to lay artificial grass on most of it (some stones/plant pots to break it up). The idea is to scatter cushions on it in summer so it can be used as a bench/area to lay down under the tree branches above. I'm unsure what...

Yes I noticed the G510 they are using in the second one. This is closer to my area of expertise. Actually there’s not a huge difference in cost between the newer baseband modules. Certainly not enough to account for the price difference. It’s more to do with who’s making them. It will be the...
