Thanks woody and wayners. So what is the solution. Wondering If I ask the foam company to drill the pilot holes and push the foam through?

Thanks Wayners. There is a full insulation the ceiling (I know it because the building control did not allow the builder to close the roof before this was inspected by them. I can't remember if there is an insulation between the cavity of the parapet wall. I remember builder telling me its the...

Hi forum members Merry Christmas and hope you all had a good Christmas celebrations. Feom.past few months i have had a this strange peeling by the ceiling and on the side wall. Its been a year i had this extension built. No problem anywhere else. It does not look like damp but i maybe wrong...

Hi I had a tiling done sometime ago, and just realised the tiler left the edge of the trim quite sharp (he should have done it in such a way that sharp edge would somehow be rounded etc... it has become a hazard as the sharp edge graze the skins and causes cuts. It has become a safety hazard. I...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help. I have a wire running from underfloor heating controller to the boiler. Sometimes the ufh controller loses signal to the wireless drayton wiser hub. When this happens, it automatically fires the boiler (to keep the pipes warm) in summer temperatures are...

Hello I am thinking to install a CCTV at home (about 5 of them to protect the property and Garden) I have been lookingat both HIKvision and Reolink (also looked at the Panoroma series on HIKVision and wondering if they will be banned in a few years time?) Can anyone advise which ones will be a...

HI CBW, It was Drayton Wiser Engineers doing troubleshooting on UFH controller. Wiser Hub and Boiler connected to same Spur switch. Happened first time in 3 years. I take it there will be more troubleshooting so just preparing for the future to ensure, we are not without hot water

Hi My boiler engineer advised that Baxi 800 series Boiler has 2 fuses (which he replaced it today) He advised me to keep a few spare just in case if it blows again and he does not have to wait for the parts to arrive as these are only a £2.00 max for a pack of 5 or so. He is a gas safe engineer...

I do not have a $ky box. It's a 10 year old labgear with 8 outputs. I have 2 spare cables from redundant sky satellite which I can take it into the loft if need be. I just want to use the satellite to receive freesat channels

Hi I was wondering if we can use an old sky satellite in the lab gear tv distribution box in the loft to feed the tv's in 4 different rooms? I currently have an ariel cable in the old labgear amplifier box which feeds all the rooms. It's just that the satellite gets more channels as compared to...

Finally it got done last evening. Got that much awaited hot water and heating. He replaced the olive nut and cleaned the pipe. Thank you everyone for your contributions. Lk

This is a gas safe guy and has been doing boilers etc... for years. Do not intend to call the same person back

Thanks everyone. Hope the pipe does not get damaged if he has to cut the olive as he is coming in the evening. I am always worried when tradesmen men work on essential things like boiler, water pipes or electrics in the evening

Yes it is leaking from the thread just above the valve. I tried to tighten the thread but no joy. It has emptied the system, and I am left with no hot water or heating. The plumber is coming today evening to get this fixed. Hopefully will be sorted. Thank you.

Hi, I have had this trv replaced kast month and since yesterday, it's leaking and empties the system. I tried to tighten it but no joy. It keeps weeping. To stabilise the pressure and prevent it from emptying so at least I have hot water, I tried to turn it off from both sides but the water...

Hi, if I remember correctly, it was to do with the pump.

Hi Secureiam, Key outcome I am looking for is if there is an alarm triggered, and I am not at home, I should be able to either hear or see and re arm or disarm the alarm.

Hi Secureiam, I understand and when I was thinking over, my reaction was the same. Visonic powermaster 360r can't be hard wired, (era is the same) the pir camera quality of visonic powermaster is crap (Era atleast provides 720p its not great as per today's standards) Visonic does not provide any...

Thanks Randomgrinch. It's just that I have never seen any alarm systems powered from sockets as such but I suppose things are changing all the time. The reason I prefer direct hardwire is because there is no accidently turning of the switch or if the power to the socket goes off, there is still...

hi Everyone, Would anyone be able to advise if ERA Homeguard Smart Pro is any good? I have visonic powermax 360r that I have ordered but not too sure anymore given the poor support and they make their products obsolete very quickly and after doing some research, it appears that ERA camera PIR is...
