He means it shuts off at 30. There are loads of reasons why the room may never get to that temp.

The shops are open at times you can still go to even if you work full time! To fix it, you need to make time to fix it!

I've been replacing some broken floorboards today, recently had plumbers in replacing central heating pipe work so whilst floors up I've been replacing the knackered boards, trying to stop pipes creaking etc How much stuff under there! Wood from notches, bits of pipe, screws and floorboard...

I've just had some plumbers finish this very job (one pipe to two pipe). I managed to have a new boiler fitted to a one pipe system a few months ago, original installer didn't realise it was one pipe... Anyway, I had floors up as I'm planning having a wood floor down then realised it was a...

I'm having some work done at the moment, few bits and bobs - new wood floor, plastering, etc. Alarm cables keep cropping up. This one has me foxed. It's the "old" front door, there's now a porch and a new door on this (well not new likely 10-15 years ago I should think) which has a...

Not a plumber, but ? One pipe system.

Still working....

So I'm having a wood floor put in. I'd been concerned that I had a one pipe heating system when I lifted the hall floor but thought with a modernish house I'd got it wrong but now going underneath the lounge after lifting carpets in preparation I realise it is indeed single pipe. The single...

Doorbell works.....

Sorted. Wiring. Stripped it back, took more care...

I'm back again with this! I disconnected my panic button to remove the kitchen unit it was bolted on to. The original wiires went up inside of cupboard, hole drilled through and panic button fitted on other side. My plan was to remove it put it back together and leave it on floor until new...

Thank you all. I'll crack on and stop faffing. Seems my equipment doesn't work as well as it did and is less reliable than it was. My wife has mentioned this in the past.

Thanks! Feel a bit of an idiot! In the meantime popped out and borrowed a mate's multimeter! Input voltage reading now a respectable 246V Output voltages now lower but still high - 16V across 8V tapping and 10V across 6V tapping. New one needed or within bounds of reasonable? Not...

Thank you. Now I'm really surprised, 296V !! Does this point to a possible problem with my multimeter? I've had it a good few years. Should I buy another and test again? All help really appreciated.

I'm replacing my doorbell as we are redecorating. I'm moving the doorbell elsewhere also so it means running new wires. Anyway it's a transformer wired outside the fuse box. I got my multimeter out and when reading across the "8V" tapping I get 19V with the multimeter set to its lowest...

as above. I bought a grid switch to wire as my phone extension from my BT master socket. Just realised I bought a "master" module. Will it work or do need to swap for a slave module? all help appreciated.

Thanks once again, I'll give it a go. No just a basic wired alarm, not linked to police. What's a urn?
