Can you please run me through some of the new developments in alarm capabilities worth considering. Is Texexom still good? I’m just looking for some inspirational food for thought when considering an alarm.

Can you pls post the link to the YouTube video you watched as I’m in exactly the same position. Did you complete your project? Thx.

We have converted an old kitchen into a GF single bedroom in which one side has a plasterboard stud partition. This side of the wall once had wall hung cupboards but now it's all been reskimmed etc. We need more space in there for my young daughter. How best to secure new wall hung...

where are they installed if not in or via the cavities? Can they be chased out in the wall? I have a similar situation where the cables coming from my new meter on the front wall need to be chased out of the front wall into the property and the. Some 6-7m into a cloak room where the new CU...

Hi don’t forget 2m height is the electrical socket level and not necessarily the TV level. If I went for a 65” or larger TV, without knowing where the cable will exit the tv (if from the top like my old 42” Samsung) I don’t want to be caught short of cable to plug it in. regardless of the...

I’m restarting a home renovation project that I stopped 4 years ago. I have hard wired 8 core CQR intruder alarm cable all over my house (is this cable any good?) and was thinking of going for a Texexom Premier Elite (that I knew about 5 years ago). But back then their internet connected...

As part of a home renovation, I have a solid wall around 6-8m long currently still brick faced and not rendered. I’ll probably have a electrical socket 2m from floor level in the centre of the wall to power a wall hung TV. More than likely there will be 400-600mm depth fitted cupboards or...

Has anyone plastered a new ceiling and installed a LED profile strip. Are they any good, how easy it to use / plaster in, what about changing the led strip? example one here...

Its interesting, on the amazon web site when people are complaining its peeling off, I'm wondering if they (or you) might have painted it when there was still moisture in the fence, because the product says it can peel if wet etc.

Cack = rubbish? Sorry I'm not familiar with that lingo! :-) Barrettine do two products, a preserve which is more expensive and a protect treatment which is about £10 cheaper.

Which stuff?

Turn alright in what sense? It's still standing.... :-)

Hi I'm looking to treat some quality fences that I have recently bought. The fence has been pressure treated (does that mean there is already preserve on there?). I wanted something which offers the best protection and don't want to be doing this every few years and Curpinol Ducksback and...

Just a local one supplier in Langley, Slough after someone gave me their number or cash deal with a local builders yard in NW London. They're not on the web...

Thanks. Anyone know where this can be bought for less than £42 per sheet (100mm 2.4m by 1.2m)/

Do both types have the foil wrap on both sides or just one of them? How does one look visually different to the other, or do they look the same?

Is there much difference between the various manufacturers of 100mm rigid insulation boards? Kingspan seem to be at the higher cost around £55 for a 2.4m x 1.2m board, where as some cheaper ones come out at sub £42 inc vat. Am I missing something?

We're just laying a wide patio circa. 15m x 6m and I plan to install some 100mm insulation boards over an area of approx. 4x5m in case I build a conservatory in the future. What size foundation should I allow assuming good soil (we built an extension a few years ago which confirms this). Would...

Sorry I meant shouldn't the switch(not a double pole socket) have a fuse (I guess your reply comment is going to be that no light switch has a fuse) but given that these are sockets, any reason they don't have a fuse? I like the sound of the third option about a sub consumer unit. Would this...

1. Doesn't the internal double pole socket not require a fuse like in fused spur? 2. If I plan to run a 5 external sockets (I have a wide and deep property) do you recommend one double pole isolater say in the utility for each socket or one for the whole thing? That will also be a lot of...
