Hi all, I have almost completed my bathroom project, which has been a complete back to bare brick renovation. New plumbing, sub floor, electrics, everything. It's fIrst bathroom I've ever done, and the first time I have ever tiled and I'm really pleased with the result other than this one...

Hi all, I recently installed a Hansgrohe select concealed shower valve. I set the max water temperature as per instructions, I set it just over 40 degrees, about 42. The shower has been in use a month or so and was fine. But a few days ago I noticed it wasn’t getting up to temperature, it was...

Hi all, currently on with my first bathroom project, and definitely first time I’ve done tiling, and all going pretty well so far to say I’m only YouTube certified. I’m about to tile my shower tray which is a wet room type tray, but it will have a fully enclosed square cubicle, as the room is...

Hi everyone, I am currently doing a wet room project. I have purcashed foam core backer boards, 10mm for walls and 6mm for floor for The Wetroom Store. In the instructions one method of fixing the boards to solid walls is tile adhesive, and attach in a brickwork pattern. I have Mapei Keraquick...

Hi, I am currently fitting a bathroom, my shower and bath are tee'd to the same waste pipe with a sweeping tee piece, and there no other way of doing it really without making more big holes in walls and joists. Siphoning didn't seem to be a big issue on my old bath and shower but I've fitted...

Hi all, looks like the HDD in my Hikvision NVR is goosed. It's a WD Purple 3TB and it's less than 4 years old so a bit disappointed. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a relaible 4 - 6TB HDD? I've been trawling various forums it sounds like some use enterprise grade drives such as WD Gold...

Hi all, One of my old Kidde smoke alarms started chirping at 3am the other morning and when I was replacing the battery I noticed the date on the back was 2003....so thought it would probably be a good idea to replace them. Been looking round and not sure what to get. I keep looking at the...

Hi, just after some help. After 4 years of zero false alarms from my Premier Elite alarm I have had two in the past week. All from the same sensor which is in the shed. It is a Ricochet DT-W Dual Tech PIR and I can see no obvious problem with it, the battery is fairly new and doesn’t show any...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good sealant for my Indian Sandstone patio. Don’t mind paying a fair wedge if it’s good stuff, would like some that enhances the colour, probably matt rather than gloss. Been looking at Resiblock ISS Sealant Colour Enhancer. Seems to get favourable...

Hi all, just ordered a GJD curtain PIR detector for my driveway post and I need to run a cable to it. I only need about 15m of external cable but most places only sell it in 100m reels at about £30+ so much of it would be wasted. I do have some external CAT6 cable so I'm wondering if this would...

Hi, I've recently installed an Hikvision 4k turret camera (DS-2CD2385FWD-I/G) on the front of my house which connects to a Hikvision 4k NVR (DS-7608NI-K2-8P)...both proper UK spec, NOT grey imports. The front of my house is fairly wide, about 9 metres and about 8 metres deep to the road. The...

Hi all, Just after a bit of help, I have tried to flash my Premier Elite 24 panel to the latest v4.03 firmware and fear the panel is bricked. It was on the original firmware from when I installed it some 3 years ago so was on V2.xx (don't know exactly). The reason for updating was to upgrade...

Hi, I own a Premier Elite 24 polymer panel and I am wanting to control some of my house lighting using the X10 outputs. I have started doing some research on what I need to do this but I am still a little bit unsure. Just wondering if someone can point me in the direction on what I equipment I...

Hi all, I recently fitted a second Odyssey bell box to my Premier Elite alarm system. As I am in quite a remote location I wanted both boxes set to SAB, I wanted them to be as loud as possible and SCB was a lot quieter. So, I wired the boxes as shown in the instuctions (grade 2), but as the...

Hi all, I own a Premier 24 panel and keep getting a intermittent false alarm on the same wired zone. I am currently on nights at work and had a notification on my phone that the alarm has gone off again, seeing as it was gone midnight my neighbours will love me!! I've even got the zone set on...

Hi all, We recently moved into a property with a Ferroli F30 combi boiler and despite horror stories on the net, it has been okay until now. The hot water flow was great and the rads got really hot. However, it has started playing up and the AA have been today and had to order some parts to...

New to the forum so hi everyone. We have just moved into a new property and the kitchen doesn't have an extractor. All of the downstairs is open plan so this becomes a bit of an issue if you fancy a steak or fry up. he gas hob is inside the old chimney breast, directly above the hob has...
