    How can I tell what model alarm I have?

    good grief mate, I have no ladder to reach that high, I wonder whether to invite an electrician round to do it? Will that job be too small though? :( wonder why this has happened. It's the first time the electric has been off since I had my fuse box replaced (had a load of work done, bonded to...

    How can I tell what model alarm I have?

    again, response so quick is great of you, thanks. Is the reason you think the bell box battery is knackered because of the fact that the alarm stopped going off when I unplugged the internal battery in the picture and it stopped? How much do you reckon it'd cost to get a spark in to disable...

    How can I tell what model alarm I have?

    Hi all, I never set my alarm. there was a power cut today, and when I got in from work my house alarm went off. I managed to turn it off with the help of a kind neighbour by taking out this fuse next to the alarm and disconnecting the battery inside the alarm, and I will need to now suss...

    Been told my install is dangerous! Is it? (with pic)

    nice one!!! we're cooking on gas here! Getting another quote tomorrow so we'll see what he says too. I don't really like spending cash on something the buyer probably won't even notice but at least it means I can get spotlights upstairs which he couldn't do before it was all upgraded downstairs.

    Hi all, Just wanted to share with you the quote I've had for upgrading my CU, connecting the earth presented in the P.M.E to my system, bonding to the gas and water supplies, I've been told £355 which is my first quote yet. What do you think? he wants a further £190 for the spot lights in my...

    cheers, a lad from a firm in crewe has got back in touch with me already about coming to have a look on Wednesday, but searching for his company's name on NICEIC doesn't say that he's on there!! Should I ask to see any of his papers etc if I want him to do the work?

    Hi Des, thanks for the advice. I'm not sure what you mean, is there some sort of registered professional electrician website I've not seen? I have submitted my tender to ratedpeople.com to get sparkies out to have a closer look at it to see what they will charge, do you think thats a good idea?

    Hi all, As per my thread about my obselete P.M.E circuit breaker, which looks like the below, I wonder if I could have your rough estimates for how much you'd charge to replace the below with an up to date circuit breaker please. I'm from the Stoke on Trent area and any advice on prices...

    wow, thanks for the indepth responses, I'm very very grateful. I think I want to get it upgraded even if it's just for my own piece of mind. I've not spent much on my house and although I'm not bothered by a "shiny fuse box" etc, I'd prefer to know that i'm safe. The sparky that fixed the...

    Thanks Nick, I can now at least sound like I know a bit of what I'm talking about when I ask for quotes! Is there anywhere on this forum I can ask what I am likely to be charged for this work so I know whether or not the quote seems reasonable please?
