Am considering a GRP fornt door canopy for our 1930's semi, something like one of these: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=front+door+canopy+uk&biw=1920&bih=943&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjV26PR56nRAhWmKMAKHV3YBtEQ7AkIgQE&dpr=1 Question is, are they noisy when it rains hard...

Thanks again EFL, will get a picture or 2 up tomorrow. Would the extending of the cables from upstairs each need to be in their own junction box?

The other cables (coming down inside a false wall from upstairs) will need extending. We want to move it as it currently sits higher than our hallway window, and is boxed in to a cupboard so the top of the cupboard (the shelf? not sure what its called) is actually obscuring the window sill...

We'd like to have our aging consumer unit replaced, and moved about 15" lower and to the left of its original location. The cables coming out the bottom of it (that go into the meter) are long enough for the new location. Im assuming we'd need a full metal cased one now? Question, how long...

We currently have french doors (1.3m wide opening) leading to the outside in a single story extension to our lounge, We'd like to open it up by another 1m, and probably fit sliding doors. The doors we've seen will be approx £1800, do you have any idea on labour and whats involved? I'm guessing...

Thanks Musszzy Do you know how to check if the internal siren is muted? The control panel still talks to me when arming/disarming, but clearly didnt sound when triggered last week?

As above, recently had a Powermax fitted, and the other night the external bell box sounded (false alarm we think) but the internal 1 never sounded, but it definately did when the installer fitted it. Hes away for a couple of weeks on holiday so I cant get him round to look at it, is it easy to...

Am after a wired home CCTV kit with at least 2, but ideally 4 cameras for external use. Preferably with night vision and as high a quality images as possible. Ive seen some SANNCE kits that are powered via the ethernet cable, are these any good? Is there a kit you'd recommend for my price...

Thanks SparkyMarka Theres only 1 real access point into the rear garden, 1 of the bottom corners (still got to come through conifers the other side of the fence and climb a 6ft fence, so the detector would be mounted in the corner access would probably come from, that wont be an issue?

Am looking for an external PIR for the rear garden and looking at the Visonic Tower 20 to go with my Powermax alarm, I'm assuming the PIR is mounting on the house looking out over the area to protect? The garden is south facing so a lot of the day the PIR will be in direct sunlight, could this...

Thanks lums I did look at the Tower 20, was impressed with the spec (I'm not too clued up on alarms though, but it sounded impressive) but was a bit put off by the price, so wasnt sure if an internal PIR (pet-friendly so doesnt pick up cats etc) hidden in a cut out bird-box would do a similar...

Our old 1930's semi has the 2 tanks in the loft and a HW cylinder in the airing cupboard and a boiler downstairs in the kitchen. We'd like to replace it all with a new Combi, like i had at our flat. I know a new Combi boiler could be around £1,000 (we had a Worcester Bosch junior 28i), any idea...

I've got a Visonic Powermax home alarm and want to put a wireless PIR down the garden, the distance from the control panel is: 9m indoors (through one door opening thats always open) + 15m straight down the garden Is this possible? or could the distance throw up problems please? I want to...

Am after a CCTV camera/system to mount face level to see who is at the front of the house, most cameras I've seen are bullet type, the kind you see mounted up high. Is there a front door type CCTV or one thats better suited to monitoring the front of the house/driveway that will pick up faces...

Thanks all (sorry for late reply everyone, loads on at work and home). I measured the existing extension and its 3.7m to the outside of new back wall, would that mean we could only add 2.3m maximum to the rear? Am assuming the 6m max you guys mention is from original outside wall of house, to...

Thanks John, I'm sure the Mrs or me switched it on a few weeks ago as had 3 people wanting a shower one after another before a night out, as we thought it would warm the water that refilled the cylinder quicker? We had the oil boiler served by GB a couple of months ago and he said it was fine...

Recently moved into an old 1930's semi with copper cylinder in the airing cupboard and water tanks in the loft (my old flat had a combi boiler = nothing to understand, immediate hot water on tap) Had a fair bit of work done indoors recently including a powerflush as the sludge knackered our CH...

As above, am due to start laying engineered wood floor in 2 bedrooms this week and was wondering if theres a technique to cutting out parts for pipes/round door frames etc with the jigsaw, I dont want to end up chipping a huge chunk out, or wont it happen?

Thanks all, I will give it a try. Can you set up the Visonic Powermax Complete to not routinely check 1 wireless PIR, even if 6 or 7 others are constantly checking back to the controller?

As above, want to remove a boot badge on my car thats been superglued on, is there any way of removing it without removing the paint as well? Any tips please guys?
