Hi Can the existing pyronix PIR's and door contacts be added to a new enforcer panel while still connected to my existing older panel? They would therefore communicate with both panels temporarily. I want to swap my 3 year old panel to the latest V10 but as I am doing this myself I don't want...

Thanks Gazman. It's useful to have a price point to work to. Solidor seem to be the most popular and there is a local firm that installs them. Cheers.

Hi Any recommendations on where to buy a new composite door including installation (Coventry area). There are loads of places online but a lot seem to use the same design software on their website so would appear to be selling the same product. We want a stable type door and ideally installed...

That is worth considering but I'd then have to find a local engineer to fit the panel and setup all the sensors etc. Probably quite an expensive option when adding the cost of the V10 panel. The line fault is happening less often at the moment so perhaps Vodafone have upped the signal again. If...

Just to close off my original post - the electrician finally came back and disconnected each competent one at a time. It took a few visits as the tripping out would sometimes take a few days to reoccur. Eventually he checked the smoke alarms and found a wrong connection and we have not had the...

Thanks Aeron, that is very helpful. I appreciate you taking the time.

No, the engineer rang someone (he said it was Pyronix) to check that EE was still not being supported. Unfortunately we do not have good reception where we are. Vodafone used to be the best but they managed to knacker that doing some engineering works so EE is second best at 1 to 2 bars. O2 is...

Ended up calling out the engineer anyway as the main exit door contact stopped working. Asked the engineer to swap the sim while fixing the door contact and it turns out EE and Pyronix don't currently work well together so my planned swap was never going to work. I am now left with the option...

Thanks for that info. If I assume I can reset the tamper alarm with my code is the SIM obvious when I take the front panel off?

I can reset the alarm with my user code and can clear line faults and mains absent warnings. Could the installer have set it up so only an engineer can reset a tamper alarm? Is that usual practice? I am happy to take the front panel off and try and swap the sim. If it all goes wrong could I...

Hi My enforcer was installed in 2015 with a Vodafone PAYG sim. This worked fine until about 4 months ago when the network did something to degrade the signal so we now have poor coverage. My own mobile uses Vodafone so I know the signal went form 4 bars to 1. EE on the other hand is still 4...

The planning portal guidance on rendering states 'cladding may be carried out without having to first apply for planning permission provided the materials are of a similar appearance to those used in the construction of the house.' My house is typical brick construction, albeit 4 different...

Hi Can I just check a few points on planning application procedure please... I am thinking of putting in one planning application to do all of the following: - Change a small flat roof to pitched - Render some areas of brickwork to cover up mismatched bricks from earlier extension - board and...

Thanks Stem. That looks like what I need. Cheers.

Hi We have a log burner with an exposed metal flue. Rain water has started to run down the flue inside the house and pool on top of the burner. On the roof I can see a metal skirt around the flue that has been bolted tight around the flue before it enters the roof through lead flashing...

Thanks stem. You have confirmed what I feared. I'll give the installer a call. Cheers.

Hi In November I had a new unvented hot water cylinder installed and it has what seems to be an RM Cylinder Dual Thermostat on it that looks like the one being sold here - https://www.manomano.co.uk/water-heater-thermostat/rm-cylinders-spare-dual-thermostat-3875683 Four questions please: 1)...

To be clear. We have two ovens and two switches labelled oven. I keep referring to them as cookers to muddy the water.

Hi As the OP I can confirm we have two cookers and they were both in use and both go off when the switch trips. The two switches on the board labelled cooker do not go off though. I am not referring to the hob. Sorry I did not see these updates sooner or I could have prevented the speculation...

The only switch to trip is the one labelled ‘RCD Controlled Circuits’. I’ve not actually replicated the fault without a house full of people so haven’t had chance to see what actually is affected by this switch. Is it right that the oven and kitchen sockets stop working even though their...
