    What we want is something in the kitchen to communicate with the bedrooms. Separately and all at once if required but with the option to turn off or mute the slaves. I know its overkill for domestic but put a long story short my poor mum is fed up of having to shout a million times from...

    Best way to get telephone line to new build property?

    Just spoke to BT and a new line will only cost me £30.00 when I transfer my telephone service from old property. Normal price is almost £130.00! So a nice saving there, if I took broadband then it will be free. Just need to call them 4 weeks before moving and they will install the master...

    How deep underground should incoming water mains be?

    Thanks for responses, ST have been kept in touch all the way through but they are the hardest company to get through to even for the simplest of enquiries. E.on have been the most efficient and helpful so far.

    Best way to get telephone line to new build property?

    Erm so in layman's terms its means if the cable is more than 3m high from ground level or if its less than 2 meters from the actual building we cant request it to be moved to another DP?

    Best way to get telephone line to new build property?

    When I spoke to the openreach guys they didnt say anything about underground cabling. They said the old cable had been left colied at the top of the "DP" and they would just reconnect to the new cable we installed. The cable to our neighbours house goes directly passed a window as our build...

    Boiler systems for new build? I need help! Plumber gone AWOL

    Well at the moment the property has no utilities whatsoever, got a new builder who actually lives on the same street to come and is going to sort out gas, water and electric to the property. He has told my dad he will use a 25mm pipe for the main water supply. Is that standard?
