Cheers, i will have a look at all of the packages later on tonight (the joy of nightshift) and see what the PIR/door contact split is like in each. After what you said earlier about the system coming pre-programmed, i am keen to get the kit that will cover the houise straight out of the box...

Thanks for the links, i will have a good look through later and find the best package to suit. One last question before a go ahead and click 'buy', how do you go about fitting the door contacts to a UPVC style door when the frame is set back from the door edge? Do the contacts work over the...

Afternoon All I have some timber wardrode frames to paint (timber moulding and softwood framing) and have come across Dulux primer undercoat, the quick drying water based type. I like the sound of it doing both the priming and undercoat in one go and with time been a bit tight this would be a...

Good morning Gents I have a shower screen to fit against a fully tiled wall, problem is there is 50mm wide mosiac border tile in part of the run which protrudes about 2/3mm from the level of the rest of the tiling which in turn is going to prevent the screen from fitting flush against the...

Good evening Gents Just moved in to our new house and we are now in the process of refitting our bathroom. Fitter is coming to start on Friday but we are still unsure on how to heat it. There is currently a very new looking chrome towel rail in there which we were going to re-use but it...
