Hi guys, I fitted my wireless Texecom alarm system and now next door wants me to change batteries of their alarm system. They don't have an engineer code, and bought the house with the alarm... It is not a texecom alarm... it's a honeywell they said. What are the options to sort this...

Ahhh maybe I am wrong here.... I didnt look again I remember my landing switch (which is linked to downstairs hall) used a blue cable but I think there was a different colour sleeve added. Thats my confusion. I will have a go tomorrow. I think I have made a mistake and am worrying for nothing :-)

Hi all So the wife got me 3 smart switches for Xmas... I have just opened them and they do not require a neutral.... BUT I have a neutral so what do I do with it? Just wago it? I have no idea. Maybe these are not suitable? Hope someone can help

Its just for alarms and CCTV etc. If its a big job you can price in a cherry picker but for 1 or 2... its a little iffyyyy. At the same time I would like to make things as safe as I can get away with for the quick job of that makes sense. I usually just use 25kg bags of sand. Im just thinking if...

Thank you. It is new. As it is currently waste pipe for only the ensuit. The plans say box it in... so wasn't sure if they would just put one of those air valves on the end of it? It wouldn't be a huge job to run it along and out of the back wall. I just didn't know if it is possible to...

Hi Guys, I work up ladders quite a lot using 11m ladders. I am not usually that high but often working on farm sheds which can be higher than a standard houses guttering. Do any of you recommend any ladder saftey gear? I cant drill into metal barns/sheds for fixing ladders etc. If possible...

Hi all We we have had a double story extension. downstairs is finished. Up stairs has no, ceiling etc. I would like to do some of the work myself. There is the old external waste pipe in the extension though... Are there caps or filters or anything you can add to these or does it need to be...

Hi all Anyone had any experience with unifi external point-to-point bridges? I am looking for one that does 300mbps?!?! For reasonable price? Can anybody recommend, they seem to have loads!? I want to beam a 8 cameras from a switch to an office switch and then recorder. Hope someone can help

Sounds perfect

I will investigate. Im a Google man myself so will see what there is. My last house was automated so I know how they work etc and could definitely work well. Can you tell it to switch the socket on daily at sunrise and off at 11pm and it will adjust accordingly to sunset time?

Smart switch is a good idea. The lights are shinning up and down. They are lighting up the property... make it look lived in. Some properties you can get away with whacking a flood light on, some you can't.

Hi Guys I'm looking at putting up a few security lights outside in the middle of the house walls. 3 of those lights that go in the middle but shine up and down. The inside is newly plastered so was thinking of going into upstairs floor boards and putting in a switched fused spur with a timer...

You were right both times. I couldn't seem to fit them in, but I was meaning 1 would keep falling out. I think the long nose pliers are a great idea! I guess I get all 3 cables in position/in line with the pliers and then push them all in together. Thanks

Thank you. Im sure its just because they arnt long enough which is making it nearly impossible (for me).... very frustrating. Good to know most should take 3 x 2.5mm

Hi Conny, welcome. I know where all the cables go :-) its just being able to fit them all into the socket.

Thank you.

Hi all Anybody got any tips. Was taking a fused spur off a socket for my new home alarm. Socket already had 2 X L 2 X N 2 X E So a spur was an extra L, N, E.... because the electrician had cut the cables with not much slack I am just not able to get 3 wires wires into each section.... does...

Legend, sounds good!!

This is exactly what I am thinking... powerline adapter shame the wireless mouses are not stronger signal... wonder if anyone has a walk around... as I would love to have the recorder in loft but still be able to control from my TV.....
