I quite like the look of the £200 system so I could consider buying that and swapping the controls out for the crosswater one?

That's why I've tried to be good and source locally:-)

Thanks Gents. I've had a google and don't see a fixed head, flexible head and tap system on cross water

Might I ask what would be recommend at this sort of price point? For triple tap, outlets as above?

Yes fair point (re spares). My sort of counter was at that price (£200) replacing an entire bit (fixed head, flexible head on riser or even the filler tap) would make it cost effective. Re Victoria Plum, Bathstore 123 etc: I thought I was being good!!

Okay I accept that but I've used tge online Victoria Plum etc as my yardstick and that was the £300ish range Is it a brand worth the outlay though? Now that I did check and both said spares not a problem.

after a concealed valve shower setup for parents new bathroom. Again tour of local stores yield 2 nice looking setups. One guy has a range he's selling rebranded with his shop name with brass thermostatic valves etc for £200 Another selling a Tre Mercati setup but it's over twice as much at...

Hi I've got a Grohe Rapid 1.12 sl wall hung frame. I'm trying to source a wall hung toilet with soft close seat for elderly parents new bathroom. Been to a couple local stores: One offered a Kale (Babel) or a Cersanit (Metropolitan) one for £150 Another recommendation was Roca Debba with the...

Thanks Tony. I guess I didn't really express myself well. I was trying to give lots of info about the location just to explain what was planning to be done. This is all new ground for me as I have never had a neighbour extend at my previous house but know these things can get "fraught" We are...

Thank you for the help. As you say it isn't wide enough to drive a car down. Looks like it was built same time as the extension at the back and used for storage I think. I will ask him just how far he is coming (he did tell me but I was 3/4 asleep at the time - might be much closer to the...

Bit abrupt wasn't it?! All I was trying to do was get a handle on what is "allowable" in terms of inconvenience (for want of a better word) to neighbours. If having to deal with end result being i look at a brick wall and the ambient light is blocked then so be it; if that isn't the case I...

Our neighbour recently informed me they would like to do a full-width extension to the side of their house. Currently we have kitchens which see each other over the boundary fence. We have 2 long windows along ours as this is main inlet of light (and a smaller window at the "end" of the...

Will do, thanks. will basically see where I can get the best deal on 8-16ch dvr (avtech or Hikvision preferably) and around 6 camera including couple of varifocal. Seen a bundle on eBay for around £580. Would ne nice to do better!!

Thanks again Depending on how and where I source the kit from them I guess I can go with a mix-and-match of these 2 types of cameras

aah that's good to know. There is alot of AVTech kit on eBay Sorry I forgot 1 more question: Lens focal length. Some (many) are fixed at 3.6mm lens and others offer 2.8-12.2 The latter are obviuosly more expensive. What is the benefit of the 2.8-12.2 jobbies over the fixed 3.6mm one please?

I have tried to do some reading around it so would appreciate if anyone could make sure I am on the right track and explain a few things: Cameras are going around the house. The one with the "further" view required will be a long-view of the back garden. rest will be from room for driveway or...

Another question please. If my DVR is (say) up in the loft and I want to connect it to a TV in the master bedroom what will be the simplest way to achieve this? I doubt they make 5-10m HDMI cables. There is a Cat5 network cable drop into the same room but I would not really want a massive...

Thank you Sparkymarka I look forward to your feedback. Had a look and it seems eminently up to the job (on paper). One thing occured to me though - most DVRs support Android it seems. IF I happen to find a good deal on (say) a Samsung could I not just use the web interface on my (Windows)...

Hi mate no I haven't. My plan is to get a better understanding if what I news from a dvr and cameras then get a quote from a local company for: -supply and fit -fit my kit: if it works out much cheaper to get my own cameras and dvr from eBay or wherever then I would go with this. If only a...

2tb min? Holy smokes I was planning on 2tb - assuming it would be plenty enough! As a general point should system be set to permanent record and looping or trigger record with movement /alarm only? I think I will need around 6 cameras.
