Hi all, had a side extension built with glass panels in a pitched roof. Had the glass fitted today and they have made a pig’s ear of it. Ok from inside, but from the it outside looks awful. The glass goes over an exterior wall, they have used a white trim and plastic floor protection to close...

Hello Does anyone know the max input water temp for UFH in screed?? Currently I have it set to the recommended 45 degrees, if I go higher is there any risk of damaging the screed or is it just a case of wasting energy??? Had UFH fitted in my new build conservatory, pretty sure screed is too...

Hi I've fitted a thermostat in my conservatory for UFH. I'm using 4 core wire to send the switched live up to my airing cupboard (approx 10m away). I am only using one of the 4 wires. When the stat is calling for heat (one wire live) my test lamp is showing power in the remaining 3 wires...

I have a Accenta 6 house alarm. I have French doors on the rear of the house with a magnetic sensor, just had a conservatory fitted, can I add 3 more sensors (1x PIR and 2 magnetic door sensors) onto the French doors to cover my conservatory? There is a 12v supply and believe circuits are...

Hi, I have an Accenta 6 house alarm that came with my house, works fine but would like to replace with a newer version with simpler arm/disarm - preferably a fob or remote panel as I work nights and wife finds current one hard to use. Is there a suitable straight swap? I'm thinking that most...

Hi, I have wet UFH in a newbuild 6m x 4m conservatory. Does anyone know what temp the slab (screed) should be ideally? I've only just switched it on so am heating it up slowly, using floor probe mid depth in the screed to raise the temp by 2 degrees per day while slowly increasing the inlet...

Hello I'm building a conservatory right across the back of a detached house that has a block and beam floor. There are 4 air bricks that I will extend under the conservatory floor to the outside. Can I extend the air bricks to either side (ie 2 in each side wall of the conservatory) or will...

Hi, had some sparks round to quote to fit some lamps but neither wanted the job (amazingly!) and second one told me what to do, I'm a plumber so know a little (which can be quite dangerous!!). Could someone see if this all sounds ok? I've wired 8x50w 240v fire rated downlights (bedrooms...
