if I remember right it's 20-30 mins max duration working off a ladder.

I'm not a roofer, but looks like there's no flashing on the chimney?

It's not fraud to make a claim for tools that you genuinely owned.

I remember someone on here saying the insurance loss adjuster was willing to accept user manuals for some of the tools claimed for, as proof of ownership in lieu of receipts.

it's acceptable, if not how you imagined it. Looks like a lot of houses these days, as it takes much longer to wrap a cable round the eaves (climb 6 metres, knock in 3 pins, down 6 metres, move ladder 2m to the left, rinse and repeat) and it might not have been safe to do it all the way round...

he's there to do "provision" work, so he'll be happy as long as your stuff looks legit enough ie no stranded cable etc. only time they mind is if they are on a "repair" task and the cust is complaining about the service and the home installation is distinctly non bt

You've talked yourself into a charge by trying to be clever and talk about master sockets etc. They have recognised this as a master socket shift on an existing, working line, and the price sounds about right. (visit charge then £75 per hour after that) Should've just called them up the day...

Number 2. Mark the location yourself on the wall with a marker. Also, as your planning to get your mum to "make sure" he puts in a drip loop etc, be prepared to connect your existing extensions by yourself later. Maybe she could also check he uses a sleeve on the dropwire (this peels back...

I wouldn't want to do 1 x 75mm cut with a dremel let alone 240 of them!

Totally unacceptable. Hope you got your money back without too much hassle.

The police are always reluctant to get involved in civil / personal disputes where they feel they (the police) are being used as a pawn against another party. Make it clear to them that the civil side of things is being taken care of, and you are not asking them to get involved in that. Make...

the point owaindiyer appears to be making is that you shouldn't draw any conclusions from the colours of the cable alone, which is true, as it can work fine on the second pair.

blue white is the first pair, orange white is the second pair. likely the blues were used for another line, or have gone faulty and the engineer has used the oranges to carry the service.

where have you been releasing them, how far from the house?

phone was being filtered but the alarm wasn't. probably leaking into the broadband's frequency spectrum

really solved it all, thanks matt

in the bt socket, put blue on 2 and white/blue on 5. and in your filtered extension put blue on 2 and white/ blue on 5. If you use the orange/blue of a cat 5 cable you will not have a twisted pair.

Basically what simon said, you had your filters in wrong - the alarm itself needs to be plugged into the filter not the other way round. For double filtering, you plug one filter into another then plug your modem (rj11) into the filter nearest the phone socket and your phone into the...

nte is a master yes (on rare occasions have found it stuck on as an extension) try double filtering your alarm.

I think the previous occupier has had 2 lines into the house, and you're using the master for one of them. the second master downstairs once carried a different number, and is now inactive. without pictures this is purely guesswork.
