Used my multimeter. What's the point in putting a pem live each side?

I moved in to my current house 3 months ago. It had a garage conversion part of which is a utility. In said utility there's 1 ceiling light and 2 2 gang light switches. They both do the main light and the one by the back door also does the garden light, however the other switch does nothing at...

Some say 30000 hours. Rather optimistic I think.

Maybe I'll start a new thread…

That's the trouble with my current ones they're externally beaded (black rubber) and I'd guess 20 years old upvc. But i can see the screws in the frame so as long as i measure correctly and correct me If I'm being ignorant but bolt out bolt in with a 5mm expansion gap then silicone up?

Evening all. I need new windows. Bottom line is I can't afford at an estimate £15k to get them done. I'm pretty competent in DIY and am an engineer by trade so quite good with my hands. So basically I've watched a few you tube tutorials and fancy having a go but from the experts is it...

Any suggestions regarding linking behind the switch?

Ones on the back of the house the others on the side. The gardens very long but maybe 7-10m deep and runs landscape to the house so the distance of the light isn't an issue. I was just surprised how much the LED lights were at £50+ compared to when I last bought a Halogen equivalent.

I'm looking for the above on PIRs and they seam quite expensive compared to the Halogen equivalents. My question is what's best to light my my garden 10,30 or 50w on LED? Also my current lights are just run off a light switch 2 gang dining room switch and outside light switch. any issues with...

I'm still faffing with this guys. Slightly put off by the lack of digital display on the Enforcers wireless keypad. Any thoughts on this?

Cloud recording apparently.

I've been after one of these for ages but £150 + subscription for a door bell is a bit OTT.

1111 for engineer mode I believe.

Awesome thank you. Regarding the top edge that I'd be flashing, would it be acceptable to simply attach a piece of treated timber at the desired angle for the water to then run down the flashing?

Hi guys. I have a single skin external wall backing my stove builders opening. I'm getting a fair bit of condensation. Can I insulate it externally? Would it be as easy as battening it, Rockwool, then cladding with some flashing on the top edge? (I'm no pro, correct me if I'm wrong!)...

Hi Guys. I had my mind set on the Pyronix Enforcer GSM, phoned MAP security and they recommended the Powermax alarm. Which is best for a DIY install. I'm an engineer but by no means an alarm engineer and truley respect each trade so don't want to presume it'll be a walk in the park. If I go...

I was about to buy a pyronix enforcer thinking my DIY skills would suffice but after reading this I'm starting to worry it's a beast.

Pics not showing my end. I thought as much regarding the bell box. I'll have to phone Map security and see if I can swap the bell in one of there kits. Regarding the programming, just double checking really, does it come with any instructions? I'm a gas engineer so not totally useless but no...

Finally in the new house. So am I still good for a Pyronix Enforcer doing a DIY install? Can I hardwire the wireless bell box? Anything I need to know before I purchase? Thanks!

Totally get what your saying. Just enticed by the deal, drill, impact driver, circ saw and 2 batteries for £199. Seams a real bargain!
