Alarm - any assistance gratefully received. We're not far at all. Hopefully it is as simple as you've made it sound!

Thanks all for your input on this - it looks like a contentious issue and one that seems to cause a degree of angst. Will let you know when the saga ends! :D

Taylortwocities - a very, very useful summary. Thank you very much. This terminaoloy seems ot be used so interchangably; its no wonder the average joe in the street is baffled by it all! An additional question; if the registration body have said, which they have, that this particular job has...

The LABC have sent us a Certificate of Completion of Work, yes. However, when we called them to ask about this electrical cert issue they seemd wholly uninterested - they had a cert and thats all that mattered. When we pointed out it was issued by someone who had never been to the house...

Right; a bit more detail: There is a seperate key pad entry panel, currently power LED is flashing and screen is showing "PT 01". The make isn't clear at all; logo on key pad looks like three triangles in a weigh scales kind of design but no manufactureers brand or anything i can see...

Sorry ericmark, hadn't seen your post. The cert is an Electrical Installation Certificate. The work relates to a loft extension and a new circuit was installed. The fella who issued the cert has not so much as set foot in my house let alone seen the work. The work appears to be of sound...

Cheers all. You've confirmed my own thoughts. going to go after this crowd as they are sure to have done it more than once. I have real issues with the LABC as well when i think of it as they have issued a compliance certificate improperly. If i were to try and sell my house now and was asked...

'mare! builders doing work accidentally cut through one of the house alarm cables setting off the tamper alarm etc etc. Can this system be 'reset'? builders seem to think so but it is a pretty old alarm system and it isn't obvious what make it is!

nailing on the wood, glueing over the tiled. In the same direction as the existing.

I'm about to (planning to!) lay Bamboo flooring. I've lifted and removed the old flooring and exposed the floorboards. Can I lay the new Bamboo straight on to these (all flat and true) or do I need underlay? Also, as this will run through the kichn, do I need an underlay above the tiled floor or...

Need some advice - the wiring for the phone system in the house is a disaster and what I know about telecoms you could write on a small stamp with a fat pen. Basically; the cable comes into the house in one of the upper rooms, it comes into a small junction box which at the moment is just...

Thanks both of you for your advice on this; registered installer and certification it is!

Hi, A little advice on this would be great...we have a chimney breast in the house that we have opened up, swept etc. We have found a suitable open fire to fit. Question is, do we need to have the work inspected by building regs (who seem suspiciously silent on the issue) or is there some...
