Thanks guys, another few votes against Ajax. I've gone with the Pyronix system now, largely due to it being tried and tested and also it will link well with the Hikvision cameras we'll be having installed.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I'll get some coloured tissue paper and see what I can do. Fingers crossed it's a leak that's easily accessible, and if not, leak sealer works!

Here you go pal This is the amount of water from the pipe in the past day: This is my fear and the only likely conclusion at the minute. I'm really hoping a leak sealer will sort it out, otherwise it means breaking up a newly tiled floor and sawing through freshly laid plywood sub floor! I...

Thanks for that, that's the way I was leaning but was being swayed by the fancy looks of the Ajax system

I've turned off the central heating pipes going in to the boiler as the plumber said exactly what you did. The pressure didn't drop very much, it dropped a bit after a day or so. As soon as I turned them back on the pressure shot to 0. The plumber also said that the waste pipe (might not be...

Hi all, I had the boiler checked and the issue was a massive amount of air in the system, probably due to it being off for so long. The system was bled and the boiler serviced and refilled. The system worked OK and the radiators heated up well. I noticed a bit more air in the system so bled...

Hi all, I've just moved in to a new home which needs a wireless alarm fitting with CCTV. I've had a couple of quotes off companies and I'm undecided between 2 systems: - Ajax wireless alarm system (https://ajax.systems/products/) - Pyronix Enforcer V10 Both systems are fairly similar in the...

Thanks guys, I've got someone round to give the boiler a service and gas safe check on Tuesday. Fingers crossed it stays warm until then. The heating has been off for a long time as we've been having work done with no water in the house. Hopefully it's an easy fix

Hi, I tried to get the heating on this morning and the lights went from 3 (ventilate) to 4 (Ignite) and then 5 (CH mode) for a few seconds. Then back down to 4 and then 1 (Desired temperature reached. I then went for a shower and the hot water worked fine, came out and noticed the heating was...

Thanks, probably a good idea, I'll look for a local gas man to come over.

Hi all, We've just moved in to a new house and I'm trying my best to figure out the heating system and failing miserably. The boiler is an Intergas Rapid 32 with no thermometer in the house. I've looked through the boiler manual and managed to get it to be either set by timer, temporarily on...

Thanks for this, that was my first thought. Glad I wasn't being daft :)

Hi all, We're currently decorating our new house and next on the list is the hall, stairs and landing. There's lining paper pretty much everywhere which I've removed where we've had skimmed. However, I don't want to have to skim the entire hall/landing/stairs so I'm just going to paint over...

@Harry Bloomfield turns out it was a dodgy LED light! Swapped them over and the wiring and switch work perfectly, LED doesn't. I'll get it changed at Screwfix tomorrow. I also bought a larger LED light to replace the fluorescent tube where the dressing table is. However this came with a plug...

Thanks Harry, I'll have a double check tomorrow. I was going blind with it tonight after a while. I'll have a go at checking everything first and then start swapping stuff. Thanks again

@Harry Bloomfield thanks for the advice. It worked a treat on one of the switches but on the other side it doesn't work at all. When I plug the LED light in it just flickers and the switch has no bearing at all. Regardless of the position the light is still on and flickers! Sounds like I've...

I can see how far the original wire comes down but I don't think it would be at a decent height for the switch. This is the wardrobe layout: I won't be using a metal back box, probably just this. The light fitting doesn't have any metal either, they are listed as plastic, this one for example...

Thanks, I'll buy some 2 core electrical cabling and those switches :) I'm just going to be buying two of these, 2 of these and some of this. If I need to extend the original live to get it to the switch, which I'm fairly certain I might need to, am I better off with a junction box like this or...

That sounds like a good idea, maybe a couple of the LED strip lights, one for each side of the bed. Then I could have a switch either side so either the wife or I could have the light on, something like this. These could be wired down the internal side of the tall wardrobes and protrude at a...

Hi, thanks for the response. One of the fittings works but the other is faulty so I was going to replace both. I was looking at changing to an LED fitting of some sort, something like these? My confusion starts as to how I switch them on and off? The only switch currently is the integral pull...
