Thanks for the advice guys, I had a suspicion of the entry/exit sensor. Hopefully I'll get a chance to look this coming weekend.

Hi, I'm going to have a go at trying to fix my sister in laws alarm, it hasn't been working for a couple of years now. There are a number of threads I've been reading through in order to try and locate the issue but I haven't exactly found one with exactly the same issue. Picture of the keypad...

Thanks for the replies. The box still does seem to be air tight, although the joints have sunk it doesn't seem to be loose in anyway. Yes, the MDF was cleaned and dust free before applying the filler. The joints were pretty tight when I glued them, not all joints required filler yet all...

Hi, A year or so ago I built myself a speaker enclosure from MDF. I glued and screwed the joints, the joints were filled with U-POL P38 filler. After the glue was set I removed the screws, drilled out and filled with dowels. Everything was sanded down and then I sealed the MDF with watered...

Hi, For a number of years now I've had a problem with my garage flooding, my driveway slopes towards the house. Originally when the driveway was layed a soak away was put in, it still flooded. I then got the driveway chap back and he fitted a pipe into the main manhole cover for rainwater...

Anyone ?

Hi, I have a Linear max boiler with one of the digital 7 day timer controllers on but do not have an external room thermostat. I read somewhere that not having a room thermostat is probably not the most efficient. Firstly is that true ? If it is I would like to add a wireless room...

I had some other electrical work done and it was suggested, I was hoping that we'd be able to close up the spaces, the bathroom is the coldest place in the house, oh well. Thanks for your speedy reply. Best Regards, Marvin.

Hi, Apologies if this is not the right forum, I've tried the search facility but can't quite get the answer I need. I had my 4 downlights in the bathroom upgraded to IP65 fire rated downlights, previously I left 3 inches clear of insulation around each downlight. Now these are enclosed can...

Nope, I tried, can never keep it clear of stuff :) Marvin.

Hi, I already have one of those spanning the width of my driveway about 20cm infront of the garage door and it goes direct into the main drains. Problem is that the drive is on a slope towards the house and the ridiculous amount of water we had today was just too much. I also have a 1.5...

Hi, My garage leaked again today under the huge amount of rain we had, last summer I spent a lot of time trying to keep the rain out by water sealing everything, it seemed to work as we had plenty of down pours since. Anyway the level was so high today that nothing sort of sealing the...

Thanks big-all for the advice. Do you know what the minimum head height is or at least where I can have a look for it ? I'm slightly worried about that. When you say without a drain cover, you mean one must be already present ? I assume its not ok just to add one ? Re the gas pipe, I...

Hi, We are looking at having a garage conversion done soon and just have a couple of questions. Its use will be for a bedroom with an ensuite. The garage runs directly over the sewers so I'm interested to know if we will just be able to just break into those for the soil/waste from the...

Further reading of that thread suggests that it may cause my combi's heat exchanger a problem. How do I know if it will ? Cheers, Marvin

Thanks bathjobby, I had a search and found plenty of threads, didn't come across this one to be honest. Thats perfect though, many thanks for your help. Marvin.

Hi, I'm looking for a whole house water softener, ( the salt in a box version :) ) There seems to be so many on the market, could anyone recommend some good brands that I should be looking at ? Many Thanks, Marvin
