Cheers Woody. I'll fill where appropriate and keep an eye on it. Cheers

OK I guess I assumed cracked blocks would be an issue. The plasterboard internally is cracked in the same place also.

Thank you Woody. Any comment on what you can see in them relating to the cracked stones and mortar? Thank you.

Hi, we bought a house a year ago or so but have just noticed cracked stones and mortar vertically by the window. The stones (which I assume are a reconstituted material) are cracked through. Basically its at the right of the lintel downwards. This is a side extension built a couple of years...

Ha, there's a fused spur. I assume I can remove the fuse and eventually the batteries wil die if all else fails.

Hi, its gone off for now. I can't find any unswitched fused boxes. The house is about 15 years old. Is it a possibility there's anything in the consumer unit? None of the switches are unlabelled except 1 which doesnt have a switch.

Hi, it was raining before so could be an issue. The siren doesn't turn off after 20 mins as we had a power cut last week and it went on for an hour plus. The panel deffo needs a battery. Whats the safest way of disconnecting the whole alarm if I can't just do the box. Disconnect the panel from...

Here's a picture of the control panel if its any use. If anyone can tell me what to disconnect if its possible. Alarm by iewalsh posted 15 Jun 2016 at 7:32 PM

Hi, The outside siren has just started for no apparent reason. I still have power. I enter the code but unfortunately it does nothing. What's the easiest way to stop the sound? Is the power fed from inside the panel? Unfortunately I don't have a ladder to get to the box.

But I assume you repeat yourself "ad-nauseum" on all the other threads. Do one fella.

Does it mean you can't add some information here? If not, then why are you wasting your time?

Any enlightenment?

Hi, I checked the ferroli and noticed the smaller rating. I never mentioned an extension to the plumber. Is it over-specced?

Hi, its Heat only.

Thanks for the response. Just had a quote in for a Baxi Ecoblue 24. I'd assumed a powerflush was required for the warranty? Is this not the case?

Hi, I've had a look through old threads but wanted a current thinking response. Current setup is classic heat only, cylinder in bathroom (Albion?), tank in loft. Boiler is a Ferroli Sigma 40-60 (everyone laughs yes) which came with the house. House is a 4 bed 15 year old classic modern...

Fair do's. The post you've pointed me to suggests using a primer after removing the sheen. Other posts have mentioned primer isn't required, so which is it? Also 300 grit paper. Elsewhere its been said 180.

Hi, Just moved house and thought I'd do all the skirts and frames. I'd like to do a really good job once if possible. All the woodwork looks like its oil based gloss, so if I was to go over it with a water based gloss or satin wood what is the best process? So, grade of sandpaper to...
