I have managed to clean up the drain valve with a small rasp. Should I replace the spindle/washer with this? https://www.toolstation.com/mt-cock-type-b/p70876 Trouble is TS have a few of them I don't know which will work

I think you are right! Here is the rear garden drain cover. It's fed by the kitchen sink and dishwasher drain. The gully has a hole cut into it, as if the pipe was longer, which I don't think is necessary. Should this pipe go onto the train through the gully grid, or be left over the top to...

This leak developed about a year ago and I would like to get around go fixing it. I hace never soldered but I have the flux, solder, torch etc. But perhaps I do not need it? Can anyone advise on how to repair this leak?

Thanks I've unblocked it now. I used a hinge scraper attachment to a drain rod and pulled out some kind of rock. I suspect it got in thru the back garden. I think this means I need to put a grill or mesh of some kind over it to stop large objects entering the sewer pipe. I discovered the black...

Thanks. I will get some deeper gloves and dig deeper. The rod didn't work because its some kind of rock material Do you know how I can prevent a future blockage from happening? It is some kind of silt, I can grab some if I scrape the bottom of the pipe. It may be something entering from the...

Hi everyone. I am trying to fathom the sewer drainage system in my house. I lifted the sewage manhole cover outside my house (one is for outside guttering, the other internal), and see stagnant water which smells and is slow to drain The main pipe exits here into two pipes, one big one above a...

Worked a treat. Alarm disconnected, and no outside siren after the batt was disconnected.

Thanks very much. I will do that tomorrow and report back!

thanks for the info, what do I do with these two?

Thanks for this, just to clarify, i need to pull a wire marked Fuse out of the white terminal connector? Do you know which wire this is, what colour? Sorry i just dont want to mess it up

Here. it went off because of tamper alert. Put back plastic panel, trip upstairs lighting circuit and untrip, noise stopped.

It does, because when you flick the mains off, it still glows the red light, I think Can't access it though from the front panel

How do I do that without shutting down the mains for the whole house? I try to trip the circuit for the light, which is all I care about, and the alarm starts siren.

I can't use it but the alarm is providing a nice blinking red light to deter potential thieves. I also can't access it from the front as it's above the upstairs bay window, and I don't have a tall enough ladder for it.

I think I will leave as is. Job is getting to complicated. Span is 40cm. Plan is to just board and light storage.

What would happen if I cut the wire running to the alarm siren at the top of the front of the house?

Certainly. It's Eurosec PR5208 rev 1.0. There is a control panel and box, the box goes off when you try to remove the two screws. Then I just reset it by tripping the lighting circuit fuse and pushing it in again. When I trip it, the panel box beep goes off but the siren panel on the front house...

Hello, the old house part of the house (7x4m) has smaller joists (4x2in) than the new part (8x5m, 7x2in joists). Now I wish to board it, originally I just planned to do it as it is and have two different height floors, is this OK?

Hello! I am doing some work on my loft, boarding it and need to disconnect the wires which are resting on the joists. Every time I trip the upstairs lighting circuit on the fuse box the alarm goes off. Pushing the fuse button back stops the siren. The problem is I do not know the code to reset...
