Fair enough. I'll probably just put it down with the non approved method, see how it wears and then swap it for a wool carpet runner when it all goes horribly wrong. Seemed like such a good idea at the time.....

That did seem a little dodgy myself... I didn't actually buy from that site. Is the dura lay system available to buy online anywhere?

Right, from what you are saying, that method would allow the sisal to stretch and become loose over the nose of the tread? Thanks for all the advise, I'll have a think about what I'm going to do, don't want to die in stair related incident....

Price is not really an issue. Just seemed straight forward based on the info from the website I ordered it from.

I appreciate your comments Lymmranger, but this is a DIY forum is it not? So yes I will be giving it a go. If it all turns out kak I'll get someone in and I'll even bring a large slice of humble pie.

Thanks Crazydave I've got the rods. They are hollow so I guess purely decorative rather than functional. Not sure about they eyes, they just came with the runner. When fitted they would be 12mm from the tread. Probably should've done this research in advance....:) Andy

it should be proper sisal, that's what I ordered... It has a rubberised backing.

Hmmmm, non of the websites suggest sticking it down (they did if used as a floor covering) and I would to be able to easily lift it, if it doesn't wear well.

Hi there. I've just purchased a sisal stair runner and am struggling to figure out the best way to fit it. The instructions I can find say to start at the bottom by pinning the runner under the first gripper and working up and then doing the same at the top at the back of the landing...

For something nice and simple try Google Chrome.

I have used visionic and I reckon it's OK. Have had no false alarms, 1 actual alarm and it kindly rang my mobile to tell me (fortunatly not a burglary but my son turning on the alarm while he was in the house). Batterys are still running fine after 9 months... probably find one's run out when...

Thanks pbar. I guess I just need to determine if the fault is the transformer or the fan. Would connecting an LV type bulb to the wires at the fan do the trick?

Right - I now suspect this device is a transformer so I should be looking to get a low voltage fan as a replacement - but to determine if the fault is with the fan or the transformer, does anyone know if that LED should be all the time or just when the fan is operating? Thanks again.

OK so my bathroom extractor fan is not working (connected to lighting circuit). I bought a replacement of the same make but not the exact model. The replacement I bought was a manrose with timer - but the original didn't have a timer so I just by passed the timer circuit - that shouldn't...

I'd rather have the alerts in some sort of electronic type format, rather than have it call me and I don't want to fork out for a GSM unit.

Whilst I can get my alarm to call me in the event of an event, it can also send digital data to a central monitoring station if this is something I've subscribed to, I haven't. But has anyone come across any software that can interpret this data from a smart phone? i.e. create your own mobile...

Sorted - the 2 outer BT cables need to be connected - the phone line still works!

Hi I'm in process of wiring up my alarm panel to the phone line and I just need to confirm something. Should I be connecting the alarm itself to the phone line by the 2 connectors marked 'line' (is there a way round for the cores?) and the rest of the house to other connector - in this case...

My apologies Breezer. But when you 'most radio/wireless alarms' which one do you like? And can anyone answer the original question, rather than having a pop at Breezer (again)? Cheers Andy
