Thanks for the replies guys. What a minefield..... I thought it would just be a fuse pull for the electric but it appears it must be removed totally so not feed is internal. Yes we have been granted permission, building inspector visited and was very helpful. The only requirement we have...

Hi, I'm looking at the short term conversation of 2 semi's into 1 house for 5 years or so. (Long story I won't go into, I'm not looking at financial gain) Currently we are paying two council tax / and utility rates. Not ideal for sure. The wife has been on the phone all day trying to...

Yes, I must admit although I can see certain uses I think caretech hits the nail on the head. It looks like extra PIR's also for me. A bit of a loophole ..... Another Q. What's the benefit in having more than 1 user code setup ? I've read the manual but cannot see why I should use...

Thanks for that. I can actually see a benefit of this now, so might be better after all. Just need to pick up a few more sensors now. Cheers

Thanks guys. Appreciate the response. I guess it's something I wasn't expecting. Impressive alarm however

Hi all, Finally got round to fitting a Yale HSA6400 alarm system this weekend. Very impressed with the system. I have a question however. I have fitted a wireless door contact to the back kitchen main main door. This is an outside door. Lets say I leave the house from the front...

Hi all, Today I was changing my toilet cistern handle from brass to chrome and noticed at the bottom of the cistern what appears to be a crack right next to the water inlet. I drained out the water for a closer inspection and removed the inlet valve. Looking at the pictures, is...

Great ! I'm kind of paranoid about the microbore system. It's a house we purchased that I'm not sure how much care the previous owners did. Im kind of thinking a good de-sludge and some inhibitor won't go wrong. :)

Thanks for the reply. The FCU is actually in the loft also.

Hi all, After purchasing a house I'm in the process of sorting the loft out and found some wiring I'd like confirming. From the consumer unit 16A MCB a 2.5mm2 cable runs upto the loft and directly to a Pull switch in the bathroom. From the Pull switch, another 2.5mm2 cable runs to a FCU...

Thank you. Will go for one of them.

Hi, After some advice please. I've over the last few months or so we have been decorating a house. Basically every room was re-plastered and radiators removed. All of the radiators I flushed in the back garden with a hosepipe until the water was clear. I would now like to flush the system as...

Ahh.... I'm not going mad. I did see a P ! Thanks, The heating system hasn't run for a few days and it is cold in the kitchen where the boiler is at. Can I ask what it means by 'Frost Protection' ? Any special precautions I should do ? Heating is normally running but we are doing...

Thank Dave, Couldn't find a P code in the manual either. Strangely just looked at display again and its now showing a 0 which I'd expect. Weird !

Hi folks, Can anyone advise what the code 'P' means on the Icos HE18 boiler. I have read the manual but cannot find any details. System has not been used for a few days. Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'll leave the floors up for now and see what the electrician says. cheers.

Hi folks, I have a general query, I'm in the process of replacing all the chipboard flooring in a recent house purchase. The old flooring was a real mess, bits out here and there so I'm changing all of it. Upstairs there is a bathroom and two small en-suite rooms, I have most of the...

To be honest we want to see how it goes with the house 'as one'. It's possibe we may sell them at a later date as two houses. Long term we may investigate the one supply. Short term plan is just to fit the 4 smoke alarms and feed from one house CU. Thanks

Sorry, I should have added more details. The two houses are actually two 3 bedroom semi's. We like our location but have always wanted a larger detached as the kids are getting older and the bathroom is getting busy ! My post might not be clear but the alarms are only supplied from one...

Hi folks, first post so take it easy on me :) I'm in the process of combining two houses into one. The building inspector has been out to give us some advice and he said we need to have an electrician fit 4 mains interlinked smoke alarms. In both halls and landings. I'll be getting quotes...
