Thanks, will try them - hopefully they are offering something. Just needed to get water back into the house for now and was hoping to do useful work rather than something which needed to be undone later on. Also wife just informed me she had full intended to move the gas meter so it turns out...

If its not astride or joining then you should be ok with the letter for wholly on your land and the 3/6m letter. If you are close to your neighbour's wall you may need to cut into it for waterproofing depending on what our architect has planned....which would be party structure notice, strictly...

Roger, If your extension requires planning permission then the council can enforce certain criteria on you but that wouldn't necessarily mean leaving a gap. (In my opinion leaving a gap is worse). If you are building on permitted development which I guess you are trying to do at 6m then you...

Hi all, Half way through some renovation works and my next job is to replace the lead water supply. For a couple of reasons I can't dig up the front garden yet, so for now my plan is cut the lead pipe where it enters the property and fit a lead to MDPE coupler, then run about 10m of 25mm MDPE...

I set it up DIY with no previous experience of alarm systems. It was pretty easy, though takes a bit of reading to understand terms like entry route and final exit etc. Loads of info on this forum already which explains it all. The effort is worth it though as you get a lot more functionality...

i had problems with my PIR sensors until I took off the pet covers. Pretty sure a bear could have got passed them. Is your walk test successful?

Thanks. Not sure what volume I was expecting from the siren, but probably loud enough for the neighbours to hear clearly indoors with the TV on. The internal siren is very loud though so I guess people wouldn't want to hang around if they had broken in. Good to know you can't alter the volume...

in WIRELESS DEVICE CONTROL/control bells/learn devices Otherwise the same as learning the inputs Just did it myself recently and seems to have worked well. Except the bell is quieter than I thought it would be (at level 7) as I can only just hear it inside the house. The internal sounder is...

Thanks, need to make a trip to B&Q so will have a look. Found plenty of alu but nothing with a nice finish. It just the front fascia to a fridge in my van. The original has been battered a bit so thought I'd replace it, but not going for an original part at £50. So figured I'd look at other...

I hadn't even thought about looking at e-bay, thanks for that. Brushing it myself is a great idea but i need a sheet about 530x380mm so I think I'd find it harder to keep all the lines parallel. E-bay looks good though, and far cheaper than the ready made replacement sheet which the manufacturer...

Hi, I'm looking to get some 0.75mm thick brushed aluminium sheet (or perhaps something else like coloured perspex), I don't need much and already have a template to cut it to size. But I can't for the life of me find anyone who sells it? Does anyone know of anywhere? Ideally NW Greater London...

So after a frustrating morning, i had lunch and then realised I hadn't tried the master option....turn it all off and then back on again...removing all power and then turning it on again seems to have done the trick. Don't know why it wasn't working before though. Thanks anyway. P.s. I would...

Hi It was all going so well....I have mostly set up the system (there have been a a few useful threads on here to keep me on track so thanks for those also) and it mostly seems to be working as I wanted, although I still have to check a couple of things. My issue is now that I am trying to set...

Ah thanks. So not worth getting unless I intend to get a third party to monitor the alarm? Or is there a way of me using it as an alternative to the wifi comms module? Thanks again

Hi, Does anyone know what the Digi-1200 option for the Enforcer does please? TIA

ahh..thats useful to know thanks. A good reason to pay a little more for the GSM unit.

Someone one here will be able to clarify (or shoot me down in flames if I'm completely wrong) as I am no expert like most people on here, but as I understand it you can also get a GSM auto dialler as an addition to what ever alarm you choose, which monitors the bell and alarm status. If the...

Just wondering...what did you end up going for in the end?

Thanks for the comments. Don't microwave a pot noodle, got it. I'd also advise not eating pop tarts straight out of the toaster! Just thought I'd update. Those who guessed 1980s may well be right! My mrs found this stamp on some of the batons holding the kitchen units up. Photo is a bit poor...

Agreed - they have "survey data" but I have already proved other things on it incorrect. I'm trying to get hold of the evidence that states the kitchen was installed in 2002, when I have reason to believe (just no evidence) that it was much earlier. Agreed - they will replace the kitchen in...
