I'm not slating the chaps work. What he's done he's done tidily. I also expected the silicone. Sky used it at my mums & I don't actually mind. I also accept ideally I should've been on site so anything that I end up not liking is ultimately my fault. I was just updating the guys who've...

I'll let the other thread drop since the socket has been fitted so this thread is more relevant. It turns out all our concern over where the master socket would be going & whether the bloke would put it there with us not being there etc etc was for nothing. All the INTERIOR work is...

Thanks a lot for your help. I can't be bothered going through all the wait & faff for the sake of £10 then. I'll just take it. My mum who sat in on the install for me said everything is fine. He couldn't daisy chain on the extensions as he said he'd have to knacker the existing wallpaper...

Is it hurting you? Maybe we could condense them a few pages if non helpful responses like the above were removed. When discussing with someone do you stop them mid flow. To say sorry, you've used up he maximum word allowance that I allocated for you, please no longer talk? Finally what...

Just off the phone to them. Got a foreign chap (surprise!). He argued that the £205 charge was correct. I quoted the website to him & he said i was being charged an activation charge. I tell him, look pal, i don't really care what you want to call it. Your website tells me that you...

Well said that man! Fair points. Thinking about it this afternoon though, i quite like the idea now :)

My apologies then. I thought i'd made it clear but sorry if I hadn't. Basically when you step to the door I want the light to come on for a few seconds, enough to get your keys & open the door. What I don't want is for the light to come on when you're driving past the house or step on the...

Is it just the mains powered LED motion sensors that have issues these days? My mum has a (halogen?) one on her house & it works perfectly fine through all weather. I prefer LED lighting myself though. I'd have thought the sensors used would've been the same as non LED so would've therefore...

I'll call them back tonight & see how I get on. If they don't accept then I'll ask for their complaints contact. Work on the basis of don't get if don't ask :)

Indeed.

No. There was no "trying to be clever" as you put it. I was under the impression rightly or (clearly) wrongly the whole thing would've been sorted last week. Since it wasn't sorted on the day I called to find out why & explained the situation. I didn't say i'd chopped the wire or...

Thanks. For the record I'm sure my mum is quite capable of letting him in the house & passing in the message of where it's required to be located. So I don't need to take time off work when I have no time left to take. I was simply trying to cover all possible bases so she didn't run in to...

Thanks for your helpful response. I'm making no 'problem' I'm simply asking a question. Since I'm all out of annual leave & they don't do slots at the weekend there isn't one where I can be there.

Well they activated it on the day they were to come out but they didn't come & fit a master socket. I had to call & find out what was going on. I was told since there's a line to the house they weren't fitting a socket. So i tell them this is no good to me as i have no M.S. After much faff...

If i've got the jist of that then it brings the light on & off at set times of the day. That'd be no good since we only want the light on when someone is stood at the door, not for the hours when someone isn't. Someone up the street seems to have their outside light on whenever it's dark & it's...

Some of you helped out on my broadband thread. This is a carry on from that. So we've got a master socket fitting booked in for the coming week. Annoyingly there were no slots available in my week off work and they don't do weekends so i've got to get my mum to sit in while the work is done...

Superb. We were back in there actually today & i thought what the hell, for £10 i will buy it, stick some batteries in it & see how well it illuminates. If it's too bright (doubt it for the size) or no good for whatever reason i can take it back since i wont have fitted it. Also has the...

I knew that one was coming :lol: You trust these reviews? You've never seen the TV shows which go into the reviews on these sorts of websites? I personally take them with a pinch of salt. I pay attention to them yes but i don't take them as gospel. Also, reviews wont show me photos...

I'll be getting one of them out the rear but for the front i don't want anything that's like a football stadium floodlight. All i want is for it to light up in front of the door enough so i can see whether i'm picking the right key off the keyring for the door & to see the lock when i'm trying...

Was wandering through B&Q today having a gander & they had out a load of small motion detector LED security lights for £10 ..... BATTERY POWERED. For the rear of the house i will be getting a mains wired LED one, but for the front all I really need is a light that comes on so you can see your...
