Can anyone advise? My drain was blocked to my bathroom so I removed the U bends cleaned all the gunk out of them and I also used my cable rods to push up and down the 3m run of pipe. After a good roddin there was a load of lime scale that I dislodged. I picked out what I could but some of it...

Can you recommend a good wireless system?

I'm looking at fitting an alarm to my 2 bed flat. What system is best, what are the wireless systems like these days? I'm an electrician so these shouldn't be a proplem for me to install although I have not fitted one before. Ideally i'd still like to keep wiring to a minimum so not to have...

Oh I wish I asked earlier as I've just added a washing machine tap to the hot supply. Never mind it didn't take long. I will try it and see how we get on with the noise, its not very loud, I just hope it detects it. Our hot water is fed from a comunial boiler so ideally i'd like it to work as...

Hello I'm fitting a new washing machine. My old one only had a cold fill and now the new one i've got is hot and cold fill. I live in a ground floor flat and the pressure is really poor on the hot water. We fitted a hot water pump a few years ago and it works fine now. My question is, is it...

Hi all, I have fitted some LED lights today. The circuit consists of a power unit, then out from that to a 12V DC remote control unit and it also adjusts speed and colour of LED and then to a slave unit. Basically I have wired it all up but it doesn't operate. The LED's just stay one colour...

From what i gather the bearings have gone in my zanussi washing machine, its very noisy when spinning and also play in the drum (it moves up and down) Spoke to a repair company today who said that it probably wouldn't be worth repairing as they may have to take it away and can be expensive. Is...

I have a Zanussi electrolux washing machine thats about 3 years old. Its started making a grainy noise when spinning ( noisier the bigger the load). Is this the bearings going? It doesn't make this noise when its washing. Is this repairable? Any advise would be great. Thanks

I worked as a meter fitter for a few years and we were always told to look out for people who by-pass the meter or tamper with it. If a seal was cut or missing and you could see that recent work had been carried out on the DB or tails it was never a problem and nothing was ever done about it...

this is exactly what i want, but like il78 says they look expensive. I need a slightly cheaper version.Yes of course secureparks. Sorry i mean not on a timer so comes on say at 5 and goes off at 7. It has to be on a pir

Yes there is the switch PIR idea, the only thing is that its the common area of a block of flats over about 5 levels. This will work and the switches would pickup all the flats. Its just expensive, as i would need the one that works without the use of a neutral and i need about 15 of them. The...

I've been told by a someone that they have seen a dome type fitting with an inbuilt pir. I Have looked on the net and can't find anything. The only fittings that i have heard of with an inbuilt pir are exterior lights. Has anybody ever seen them? I'm looking for any type of interior wall light...

If your floor is a laminat do you have a beading around the edge? If so I have often removed beading and slotted the cable under it, then if required chopped the rear of the beading to fit over the cable. You'll never know its there! 8)

Someone must have some idea??

Can anyone help. We live in a flat where the heating and hot water is fed via communal boiler. We have a leak in the basement 2 days ago and and plumbers fixed it. The leak was on the main riser on either the flow or return. They have since fixed it and put the supply back on but we still...
