You were bang on... ISH.... Tamper was loose! Thanks for the tip

Evening all, I have a Pyronix Deltabox on my Scantronic 9448+ Style home alarm system. The last few days it has started going off randomly so I have disconnected the control panel internal battery and the thing still keeps going off. Quick Google tells me it's the fault lies in the extreme heat...

New heater element arrived, fitting was extremely quick really as just a reverse of removal. All back together and working perfectly! One happy wife!

I'm not getting anything at all across the element terminals which says to me that the heating element is dead, correct? Which bit is the thermal cut out? I thought there was two thermostats there?

Evening all, I have an old Whirlpool AWZ3303 tumble dryer that rotates but does not heat. There are no videos online on checking the heating element or thermostats so have taken it apart and got the heating element out. The thermostats both give a reading of 0.3 ohms but I'm not getting anything...

Thank you for the reminder. There will be a gravel strip between the driveway and the wall of their house Is there a minimum distance away from their wall that this gap needs to be? I've searched online and the information I am reviewing states that a gap should be between 10cm and 15cm between...

Thank you for confirming

Good Evening all, Apologies in advance, I am getting somewhat confused regarding notifiable works under the Party Wall Act. For a driveway extension within 100mm of a neighboring property, where no excavation is required as the driveway will sit above the current level, will the works be...

I initially considered gravel, but our local authority won't allow it within 5m of a public highway. Grass would be too slippery when wet as the driveway is sloped towards the house and also doubles up as the only footpath for pedestrian access to the house.

This is the exact wording : "Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning Permitted Development Order, 1988 (as amended) (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order), no development of the types described in Schedule 2, Parts 1 and 2, shall be carried out...

Hi all, I am hoping you may be able to offer some guidance on the following. I am wanting to extend my tarmac driveway to be wide enough to accommodate one car and one motorcycle, with enough width to allow the car door to open without knocking over the motorcycle. I don't want to extend it to...

Coming along nicely Some things are worth the wait!

Looks like a good job done to me. No doubt the room will be much warmer (y) Are you continuing through the rest of the house?

That StarTech Extender looks perfect! I couldn't find anything with a USB Hub before, obviously I was searching for the wrong thing! Many thanks.

I'm currently on a little project and need to have a touch screen monitor linked to a laptop around 20m(ish) away. No problem with the display going through CAT6 to HDMI at the other end, however, for the touch screen function to work it requires the USB too. My current extenders don't support...

Yes, I'd agree with Dereekoo - most likely need a structural engineer to look into doing some calculations for you as (in my area at least, others may also confirm) adding a new Velux would need building regs - so building control would want to see the calcs.

Yes, in that case, you will need building regs and most probably calculations from a structural engineer. Nice little project for you - the fun bit will be the foul waste.

Having the bathroom above and current utility room located to the left is in all probability helpful for the services. Anything is possible, but depends on how much work needs to be put into it. Your main issue here is access to the proposed new toilet room. Is the wall that will have the new...

Looks great, I bet the kids love the sunken trampoline. Did you have to put a pump sump system in under the trampoline or was the natural drainage adequate to stop it filling with water?

I did not have the SystemPro to start with, mine was a different model.
