Hi I've always been interested in wood working. So much so I've decided to do a course in it. I want to make a table like structure with the work top surface cut out so I can hang two plastic trays. I was going to use MDF because it's fairly cheap even from B &Q and easy to cut. However afaik...

HI guys, I'm wondering why doesn't the led on the included wireless pir light up when I walk pass it? On the wired pir it does light up. Am not asking how to program a professional panel , just asking is it possible? I'll Am trying to collar technical on their skype chat

1)does it have a wireless keypad option 2)does it have wired external bell box option If yes to both then I think we have a winner.

What a great idea thats good. Or abit of liquid nail should do the trick lol. Sorry guys I wasn't clear I meant no drilling/ chopping off plaster (which is brand new). After all the drama, they have decided not to fit an alarm for now. Sometimes it's better off you don't know the customer...

Hi I need to fit an alarm system for my sisters new house. She doesn't want me to start drilling holes and removing plaster. Her house is ready to move in I believe so it's fair enough. I don't have a clue which panel I should use since am newbie electrician. I have fitted accenta Gen 4 mini...

Hi when my sister moves into her house the boiler wasn't firing up. There was power to the boiler as the leds lit up. just never fired up. Instead of fixing the problem our friendly engineer just bypassed the timer. he did it for free so we're not really complaining. he didn't seem to have a...

Hi I as wondering if I'm correct the zone circuitry on the main control panel is just a normally closed circuit. I have been told this isn't the case as the PIR sensors are constantly sending signals to report back their status.

Hi Its a rewire am doing an EIC on. I was wondering does the ZS value have to be measured? Am short of time and zs for all circuit can be time consuming then doing by calculation. The LABC is coming TOMORROW!!

Damn it why does my old man have to be right about everything!! GRRRR. What will I do without him. :oops:

really it looks quite thick the bus bar. I have a pair of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/nws-vde-side-cutters-160mm-6/10869?cm_sp=Search-_-SearchRec-_-Area1&_requestid=1055429 So I can cut it with these?

What is the best way to cut a bus bar to length? I use a hacksaw but I seem to have an issue cutting the damn thing striaght.

Ok it's my fault for following blindly to what am told. But there isn't much space within the consumer unit cupboard which is recessed into the cavity of the exterior wall. So the cu sits on the exterior wall. So it's difficult to get the swa out to the garage. Therefore the adaptable box is...

Hi I'm using an adaptable box to connect the swa to T & E. They're both 6mm. What the best way doing this since the box doesn't come with connectors. I was aware of this and thought I I'll just use one of those cheapo connector strips rated for 32A of course. The cable is protected by 32A type...

I've attached the metal clad back boxes the usual drill and plug way. My dad's Makita seems to be good at drilling the walls. But the 100 quid+ portable dewalt didn't do too well. I find I do need a cored drill to drill through brick /concrete more easily. I've decided I'll use PVC conduit...

Hi our garage is one of these concrete prefabricated garages therefore it's impossible to clip cables direct. I have used metal clad sockets because it's a garage I thought be more appropriate. I thought I'll use conduit but steel coduit is expensive. Can I use PVC instead but then it looks...

Fair enough but they were brand spanking new. I just got them from toolstation. I needed to pull a cable up an insulated wall. I suppose to be fair on it, I was almost bending it 90 degrees. So remeber folks they dont like to go round tight bends. I'll stick with my dads advice. I've been using...

yeah those poles are ****. they snapped on me. the thread where it screws together is made out of tofu. heap of ****

what's the best tool to use o pull cables under floor boards on the ground floor and up cavity walls with insulation. fish tape is a pain to use and most likely goes the wrong way when u thread it through
