Got quoted for an alarm for my commercial shop recently, is the Castle Euro 46L EOL 8 to 46 alarm alarm any good? I wanted the ability to get remote notifications via an app etc.

One of employees accidentally triggered the panic alarm by pressing against the red push button at our shop reception desk. The button is not fully depressed so I think the chair arm must have knocked it. In any case I tapped the security tab on the panel to stop the sounder. But the panel...

Hi I have a fibre line into my office which then feed a network switch which then routes to about 50 other network ports around my building. If one of the rooms had a 3 port wall mounted switch built onto the wall and that is proving insufficient for my needs, can one of those Ethernet...

Hi I had a break in at my property. The thieves broke in by using a chisel that was left behind by prising open a dummy sash window that I had no idea had a hinge on it. Are dummy sashes usually that easy to break into? How do I now secure this window because there is no window handle in...

We have 14 radiators in the home. 3 of the highest ones are in the 2nd floor loft. The small one in the loft bathroom is fine, have to bleed it a tiny tiny bit every month or so to get it piping hot otherwise it’s nice and warm. The other loft radiator is in the bedroom and since around...

We're taking over an existing dental practice where the landlord is a bank. There are few spare rooms on the first floor, which maybe a few years down the line we might want to use one room for podiatry services or possibly for an audiologist and another room for beauty aesthetics. All such...

Not sure if this is the right forum thread to post, but anyways. So I'm guessing I'm guessing that most of us are on the govt fixed variable tariff where we are paying circa 40p per kw for electricity. I have a family friend a few streets away with British Gas as their provider and they are...

I’m and am sure a lot of others too, keep seeing these online ads for these low energy plug in the wall ceramic heaters costing circa £20. I think they’re a scam or even if real, only give out a small amount of heat and are probably a fire hazard. Are all electric fan heaters the same in...

Hi Does anyone have any idea on what the cost of lift would be to install in e.g. a medical clinic to take a disabled person from the ground floor to the first floor in a vertical manner through the ceiling (therefore not a stair way lift)? I am referring to the one where you have to hold down...

Hi I bought some cheap and cheerful pan and tilt WiFi cameras off Amazon a few years ago. Several were from a company called Vestercam in which they use an app called eye4. Another brand is Florean for which I cannot find an app for. Is there a way of connecting these apps to third party...

Hi What generally speaking is the recommended thickness of a concrete base / slab prior to fitting porcelain tiles on an external patio? The underside is soil / hardcore.

Hi My old Sky+ box keeps playing up and because I only ever used it for the free to air channels, I decided to replace with with something under £30 from Amazon. Has anyone experienced here how to setup these boxes, they are confusing as hell. If I only want to receive the same channels as...

What is the min / max height for a new first and second floor glass balustrade and ideally what thickness of toughened glass?

I was just wondering if old timber from floor boards (when the house was built in the 30s), cut joists (both old and new) and such wood is generally treated with chemicals or not before I decide to use them as fire wood in my stove. Don’t want any toxic fumes etc clogging up my chimney lining...

Hi I have a wide rear property extension, circa 15m. I’d like to put some security floodlights up at eaves height whilst renovation works happen. Garden is about 50m deep and 18m wide. 1. What would suggest is the best LED flight light to use make wise and also wattage / lumens? 2. how many...

I have a sufficiently large garden. Am I correct in thinking that I can build a large outbuilding (not as a self contained dwelling) with a max roof pitch height of 4m (with 2.5m at the eaves) but MUST remain 2m away from the boundary line? Otherwise I can build as close to the boundary line...

I've read various web sites on this but getting differing views. Max height of rear garden fencing I understand to be 2m. Some web sites state that this should include any trellis on top. What about gravel boards, does the 2m include gravel board, fence panel and trellis in that overall...
