I am not a plumber. If it was me and assuming the pressure is only a few metres of head from a cold cistern I would definitely be using the SA tape and a bit of compound such as lsx just to tide you through until we get past the covid situation. If this is a feed under much higher pressure such...

Hello All Kitchen floor files firmly stuck to concrete floor. Planning to remove with my sds drill and a fair bit of sweat and tears. Question is once they've gone I'm thinking I'd be left with a fairly rough surface and old tile adhesive residue. Can I lay my new tiles straight on to that...

I know the thread is old but one of the only reference on t'net I could find. In case you make the same mistake I did, or maybe its just my version of g2 works slightly differently, I had to first go to menu item 51 (parameters) and then to 55 (DD243) and then 3 (restrict keypad) and then 0 for No.

Managed to take a pic of the box below. It does seem to contain the GSM components. If I really can't use it, anyone know how to cleanly remove it? Just disconnect all cables going from it to the main panel above?

Something like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honeywell-Galaxy-Flex-50-Full-Metal-Boxed-Alarm-Control-Panel-Ref-16-10-18-/174324107383?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10 Seems a bit like overkill and would need to configure it from scratch. Plus I don't know what it would give me ? I like the...

Thanks a lot for that. I'm seriously considering buying (is it the LCE-01-4) I need (plus the £1 a month unless it gets increased )? Also, do you know how to enable the dualcom (it uses mobile phone tech) to send me SMSs which I could use in parallel ? There is a transmitter in the loft. Maybe...

Yep - that's what ADT installed.... Just don't tell me they can be easily jammed :D

Says Galaxy 2-12 v 1.50 There is an ethernet port already on the board - that no good? The other box is wired to the main box. I'll try and get a pic if I can. I was led to believe it houses the stuff for the dualcom - i.e. a mechanism to get the signal out if the phone line is cut.

Honeywell Galaxy G2 of some kind. So with the kind help of a well known member of this forum, I have managed to reset my engineer code so in theory can manage the system myself without paying ADT £60 per month. I will lose the police response and I'm aware of that. Anyway, what now. I have two...

In case anyone else reads this and wants a more helpful answer I think the issue is simply that when an integrated dishwasher door is closed, the buttons are not normally accessible and so don't need to be active. The instructions don't say they are not active with the door closed so I don't...

Well I've just done some more tests and not sure what to think. Its an integrated dishwasher with soft buttons at the top. I've now realised that if I open the dishwasher door, the buttons work fine! SO it wasn't turning off after all just it was that the buttons including on/off were...

Hello All Maybe this is a stupid question - hopefully I'll find out ! So have an integrated DIN15R11 and I just powered it on without water or drainage connected. I just wanted to see if it would basically start and maybe complain about no water to give me confidence there is no issue before...

Hmmm was about to say "great thanks that's what I'll do" when I just realised it would mean the end panel sitting on floorboards for most of its length but then finished-floor which goes just under the plinth. So I'd need to notch under the endpanel when fitting the finished floor at the end.

Thanks a lot for quick answer but if I did that wouldn't it look like this? Maybe that's ok though? https://community.screwfix.com/threads/kickboard.194155/

Hello All My kitchen run has a dishwasher next to an under-worktop oven. Inbetween I'd planned to put an end panel to support the worktop. I'd read on here (e.g. the below thread) that this end panel should be be brought out flush with the cabinet doors. Makes sense I think. But how to get the...

I wonder if the kind and knowledgeable folk on this thread might have a view on this? I received a solid laminate jig for about £55 that I was planning to use to cut the dogbone holes. It arrived cracked so I'm obviously in the process of sending it back. It gave me a slightly cheeky thought...

Well as per the pics I think thats done (covered in laminate underlay). If it all goes pair shaped (literally in this case!) I shan't be blaming anyone except myself. I know the advice has been given in good faith. If in a couple of months you've got a few minutes I might tap you for some info...

Thanks again Notch. I've just read this paragraph in the same guide. I'm totally confused now ! How can they say leave it packed but also say it must be oiled immediately? We recommend that all worktops are oiled immediately upon receipt. Installation should be carried out as soon as possible...

Firstly many thanks indeed for the helpful replies. The person from worktops express on ebay said this: "Regarding the storage of the worktops we would recommending oiling these if they are being left prior to installation especially during the winter as if these arent sealed properly the...

Hello Everyone 2 hardwood worktops arrived yesterday wrapped in a thick clingfilm type thing but a few small holes (inch or so) in places. Its not been oiled and has been left in the room where it will be installed on batons off the floor. My question is should I remove all the film and oil...
