Thank you, a sensible reply is most appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I know they are supposed to go off but I would like to stop this while I work on them. Is there any way I can do this?

I have an omicron 8000 and several pies. I now need to change some lenses for pet lenses but when I take the front off the pir the alarm goes off. How can I stop this as I need to fit 3 lenses? I also need to fit a new pir as one looks discoloured. Any advice appreciated, thanks in advance.

Will do it tomorrow thanks

Rcd is in previously spare place on one box. Qualified electrician wired up the shower so why the concern?

I have 2 Wylex fuse boxes which have the old fashioned wired fuses, had a shower put in recently and the electrician put a Wylex B40 in a spare position in one of the boxes. Can I now replace all the other wired fuses with the appropriately rated rcb's ? Any thoughts gratefully received...

Need a garden wall re-doing but don't want ripping off.Nobody round here seems to know anybody. Thanks

Unfortunately the 'vertical crazy paving' is the wall.Just looks like broken bits of paving slab stood up with a bit of mortar to make a 2ft high wall. This wall is about 3 feet from the much higher path and in the gap are the conifers which are about 8 feet tall. Hope this makes it clear.

At the side of my block paved drive I have a footpath ( public ) about 1 metre higher than the drive.Conifers are planted along this border and the wall on my side that 'holds all the roots in' is a sort of vertical crazy paving done by the previous owner.This is now starting to fail so I need...

I have a 6 foot tall palisade type fence with vertical spaced boards and cross rails.I want to make it 1 to 2 feet taller.Any suggestions out there?

Have just moved house and I need to change some PIR's due to 2 being covered in and 1 not working.If I take the cover off and take the wires out, will the alarm go off? If so, how do I stop this from happening?The alarm is Omnicron 8000. Thanks a lot for any help.

I have a standard cooker hood in brown and we now have a silver cooker.I will have to dismantle and move some newly painted cupboards and cornices to change the hood even if I can find a direct replacement. Any chance of painting it silver in situ and getting a decent finish?

After quotes of up to £198 I had settled on the B&Q option and then do some cutting.However I first contacted a local metal shop and they are supplying it exactly as I need for £20 all in - result!
