Hi I am setting up CCTV, using my TV as Monitor via HDMI. TV is fine. When I switch the TV's remote to Monitor Mode, I get 'No Signal' on the screen. The TV operates on an Indoor aerial. Is it because the aerial signal is too weak for the NVR ?. I just have no idea. Any advise, please...

Hello, Setting up CCTV. Can someone advise me on the following, please?. How is it done?. Video Format: Select the correct video standard for your region. Thank you.

You are correct. It is Eternit. Thanks to you, both. The guide is very helpful.

Hello I am aware that the sizes of Roof Slates dictate the number of battens for a Pitched Roof. I do not know how to work that out. So I have included a drawing showing the distances between the holes in the Slate. Please let me know if anyone can advise. Please see drawing as attached...

Hello, Ever since I began to use mobile phones it was always Pay As You Go. I am guessing that, that will not be suitable to monitor CCTV, and that I may need to go on a contract basis. Any advice on this, please?.

Yes, please. The four walls inside the building.

Hi, I need to insulate the internal walls of a large outbuilding. About 40 square metres. What would be the least expensive way?. Thank you.

Hello, I have a building under construction. At this point the walls are up. The roof trusses have been installed. I have been told that the gable section (concrete blocks/bricks), must be completed before installing roof tiles/insulation. Due to unsettled weather, I would like to know if...

Hi. Thank you. Yesterday I used plenty of baking soda/vinegar. Waited for more than an hour. Poured hot water. But the level remained high. Decided to leave it to (hopefully) work. Will check again. Will check insurance. CBW: The drain goes directly to the road. Never used a Karcher...

Hi. There is a rainwater drain at the front of the house. Recently the heavy downpour resulted in the water rising to a level to nearly flowing into the house. After the water receded to a level within the drain I cleared all the debris. The (square) aperture is only 125mm and the pipe...

Two cameras to start with. 5MP. Not sure of frame rate. 4TB

I guess so. I have not received a bill yet.

Thank you. After waiting for a long time I got an answer from the suppliers. It can accommodate 2 HDs, but it is warranted (has a seal) for 3 years. So if I wanted to fit a secondary, it would have to be external. In that case, I would want a Skyhawk, but I can't see any Skyhawk, external.

I asked the building engineer which size Padstones I should get for the steel & concrete lintels. Surprise. He said I don't need them. Yet he had that included in the calculations he supplied.

I never hired a such surveyors before for this type of work but I began to feel he could be more involved, and what you have quoted here confirms my thinking. I am fed up with him that is why I put my queries here. As far as section drawings are concerned, the best info I have found for...

Thank you. I guess someone will know more about this attachment than I do. Please have a look.

Thank you. What size padstone for 215 mm wall, please?.

Hello guys My surveyor says to get RC35 Padstones. I asked Builders Merchants if they can supply RC35. Answer they gave?. 'Presumably', they do. Not helpful. If they sell the stuff and can't be specific, how can I know what to get?. Are there different standards for Padstones?. Please...

Many thanks to you all. I will have to speak to the building engineer.

Hi I need to get a Lintel. It is recommended I use R6 Lintel. Those Lintels are 100 X 145mm. But the wall is 2 leaves of 100mm, making it 215mm wide. I am wondering, how will the bricklayer be able to put 2 X 100mm concrete blocks on top of the Lintel? This is not my field of work, so I...
