    Plasterboarding Utility Room

    Thanks for your kind response, glad I’m on the right track! Finally, would the DPM go behind the battens or on top!?

    Overboarding ceiling, that isn't going well need advice

    When I boarded my first ceiling it looks similar but is fine now, tips I took from that: 1) Get help with the boards, balancing it on your nose/head/ears just won't cut it. 2) Use a sharp knife, the blade I was using was blunter than James and butchered the cuts.

    Plasterboarding Utility Room

    Hi All, I need to re-plaster my utility room over the next couple of weeks. The room has 2 external walls (main ones pictured and two internal). My plan is to: 1) DPM on all walls (or just external facing?) 2) Roof battens screwed to wall, fixing the DPM in place. 3) Plasterboard on battens...

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    But can you customise quick arm to only arm a particular area? I guess I will need to install and programme and then tweak accordingly. Blimey, I can sense my wife feeling ill at the thought of that already. If it's not straightforward my life isn't worth living! It would work for me but not...

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    Thanks for the swift response, much appreciated. Essentially I'm happy to have both keypads/areas running independently, which I think you'd agree should be a straight forward implementation? My "nice to have" would be for the "home/Area A" keypad to be able to control the "garage/Area B" but...

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    So, I'm in a position to kick this off (64-W) and have my wireless keypad for the garage and DT-W. 1. Learn both devices to the panel and assign to Area B (Garage) Wintex in and make the following changes: 2. Rename Area B to "Garage". 3. Ensure the two users on my system have access rights...

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    Thanks mate. That’s what I thought but will give it a go and if worse comes to worse I’ll get a couple of door contacts. Frustratingly excessive for 1 small room!

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    Area A - House Area B - Garage Area A keypad has the ability to control both areas, Area B keypad can only control the garage. Area A keypad retains quick arm functionality and on pressing "area" it arms both A and B. Guessing this is pretty straightforward stuff? Also, I note that door...

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    Just to add, my garage can only be accessed via the typical roller door or the door at the back (no access via house)

    What’s a typical Texecom garage setup?

    So, as it stands, only my home is secured on area A on my Texecom system. I was going to buy a DT-W and use that in my garage, still linked to area A but it appears best practice would be to create a separate area B for the garage. I’m thinking of a wireless keypad and a DT-W in the garage...

    Moving waste pipe closer to wall...

    Great stuff Jim, thanks for that. The reason for my post is that initially I was going to use one of those flexi pipes but don't feel that’s “proper” or ideal to be bedded in under ground. 2 of those beauties should do me nicely. Thanks once again!

    Moving waste pipe closer to wall...

    Evening All, I’ve partly started this process, essentially I need to move the toilet waste pipe closer to the wall so I can fit my new toilet. I’ve excavated around the pipe and plan to cut (multi tool with ceramic blade) the pipe and fit a suitable fitting which pushes the entry point closer...

    Using Wintex

    The Texecom king strikes again! Im in, and renamed a couple of my PIR’s. Do I just clicking send data to update the panel?

    Using Wintex

    Hi All, Attempting to use Wintex via a local SmartCom connection but getting an alert saying my UDL password does not match. How do I check via the keypad what my UDL password is?

    Changing User Codes - Texecom 64

    Thanks mate, is that the same for code? worried that I won’t be able to log back into the app if I change the code? Thought I read it’s best doing it through the app as it pulls everything in sync. I need to get out of the habit of asking and just go for it, these Texecom panels make me nervous!

    Changing User Codes - Texecom 64

    Hi, I want to change mine (master) and my partners (user) code and username on our Texecom system. We have the connect app, is it best to do it via the app or panel? With that being said, it appears (on iOS) you cannot change the username due to a bug displaying a number keypad instead of...
