    Home CCTV, if fibre cable gets snipped...

    Sounds like a good way to go. Obviously, these systems aren't invulnerable but you want to make them as difficult as possible to disable. Lets say a camera is on the top corner of a house, above an attached garage. I'm athletic and could climb up the garage roof and disable that camera...

    Home CCTV, if fibre cable gets snipped...

    Jammers not as easy for a thief to acquire or use, as a pair of pliars though. I actually still have a couple of old wired camera's, going to a HD. May as well leave them up and running as back up.

    Home CCTV, if fibre cable gets snipped...

    Looking at the fibre cables of my neighbors, it dawned on me that to disable all the cameras of a property a burglar just has to snip the cable. Quick search reveals this does indeed happen... In the video, the thieves went around the side of the house to cut the cable. In my neighborhood...

    Virgin Media, driveway dig up.

    It doesn't look great right now, but there was no need for VM to make it look worse. Found the bits of the driveway they'd chipped off, in the French drain next to the garage. Why use a dustpan and brush, when a drain will do... Anyway, contract will be cancelled. Doubt they'll bother make...

    Asbestos in plaster

    Ever used the London Underground? Still loads of it present.... https://www.oracleasbestos.com/blog/asbestos-on-the-london-underground/ Don't want to hijack the thread, but I once did a days grinding and the seal of the mask failed. My fault, it was an old mask. Rust got up my nose, and I...

    Asbestos in plaster

    Just get a professional to come round, and give a full asbestos survey. Chipping off a bit of this and that, is just causing undue worry.

    No prob mate. As I said on previous page, I had a look at other cable installations on my street. Some of the house are identical, in that the cable runs along the same path, with cable box in exactly the same place. None of them have this issue. Bit late now, but next time I'll take added...

    AC on old warm air ducts?

    With rads and combi boiler, I run a dehumidifier in winter. Looks like a warm air house would need a humidifier. If anyone has an old warm air system in need of replacement, do yourself a favor and don't replace your warm air. No engineers, Johnston and Starley are the only WA company in...

    Yes, the reviews are terrible. Tried calling them, got stuck in an AI loop. I'm going to get out now while I can. Had a look at the houses on my street, no one else had their driveway next to outdoor cable box looking like this. I'm fortunate in that I'm planning to get a new driveway, read...

    So if a house or part of a house is old, the engineer can therefore make it look worse? Could you show me the part of the contract that says that please?
