Well the roof has been built but nothing else, it’s been like this for about 2 weeks (see picture) This is the finished first floor (ready for carpet / floor tiles) nailed and glued onto joists It doesn’t seem right to let it get like this and I mentioned it last time and he said it would dry...

hi I am currently midway through a 2 story extension and I have a concern regarding the chipboard floor which was laid a couple of weeks ago and wanted some advice before asking the builder. The floor was laid and the following day was our first sign of heavy rain for some weeks, it didn’t...

Ok thanks for your help

Wow, I’m having so much grief with the fobs on the wireless keypad, used Texecom numerous times before but always hard wire the keypad and bell but not this time. Is there a knack for getting the prox reader to wake up, I can place the fob (Top left) and leave it there for 5 seconds minimum...

Interesting, will give it a go tanks

Its a pickup truck, the rear doesnt have an alarm, since it was broken into I now reverse it up tight to the house, I had hoped this would be a solution for me. What would be the consequence if I fitted a richochet vibration sensor to the truck and forgot to bring it inside in the morning...

The event log showed the system went into alarm, I removed the bell and the re learnt it and when tested it was fine thanks. I wondered if I could somehow arm my van using ricochet, maybe clutching at straws I dont know, I wondered if I could omit a vibration sensor during the day time and...

Thanks That helps, doesn’t explain the bell box though, if I go into bell test and strobe test it works fine but when the System is activated I only get a local sounder from the keypad? I moved the jumper from commissioning mode right at the end before closing the panel, I presume it should be...

Hi With so many houses being broken into round my area I've fitted a Texecom Ricochet system today, couple of questions if you dont mind helping though: 1) I learnt the bell onto zone 40 but when I set the system and activated it the bell doesnt sound, do I need to change a setting in zone...

hi We are planning on having an extension built which will be a utility room, extra bedroom and a en suite We currently have a green star i24 System boiler with 11 x radiators (some smaller than others) and a 117 litre hot water tank. The plumber is recommending we consider upgrading the...

hi, We've removed a old gas fire which has revealed a (curved) surround to protect the bricks (assumption) it has minster written accross it, feels pretty solid but as the house was built in the 80's I'm wondering if this surround would contain asbestos. Appreciate any thoughts

Your probably right, Thanks

Thanks, I'll find a btu calculator and check that out first, if the but is fine then I'll leave it

just wondered if there is much benefit in replacing old radiators, to give you the background, the house was built in the 80's and the boiler replaced 2008 (it's a Worcester) No trv fitted jyst wondered if a new radiator would be more efficient and output more heat? Thanks

I didn't realise but the lawn man came on Wednesday, I scarrified 3 days prior so hopefully it's not too bad

How often should it be fed? Quarterly we have someone come and treat it, like green thumb but it's not green thumb. Thanks

Ok thanks

hi I'm wondering why my grass hardly grows, last week I heavily raked the lawn, aerated it with a fork (wasn't the easiest so wonder if soil is heavily compacted) and added some top dress & seed. Watered it this week when we had no rain, tested the soil ph which is around 6.5 and I'm thinking...

Sorry I should have said my boiler is in the loft would that contribute to the issue? Thanks

I had a quick look on my way out this morning, seems we have some vents in the soffits, I need to check they are clear and go from there. If they are clear what can I do, still add more? We have 2 loft hatches, 1 timber one and 1 insulated one, presume it's fibreglass with a plastic coating...
