I would have expected Polyplumb to be one of the lower priced suppliers based on previous experience. Others you could try are Velta and their Siccus system...
If I were doing it again, I might well even bin the builder and PM it myself. This needs extremely good PM skills if you're on a tight timescale, but is a...

I once called BT, Me "My line is faulty" BT "We have done a line check it is OK, your phone is faulty" Me "My line is faulty" BT "We have done a line check it...
Just returned from freezing site caravan on IoW to house near Oxford (refurbishment project). Problem...phoneline works on modem but unplug from computer and...
Not sure if you're saying "the same cable that worked on the modem won't work on the telephone" ? If so, that may mean the pin configuration of your 'phone...
Eric, The cable DOES work with the computer and DID work with the phone. Odd thing is that modem detects dial tone, phone does not...... Will check in another...
Have you checked the socket on the phone, where you keep unplugging the cable from to plug into your computer? Could be a bent or busted pin. They're usually...
Thanks guys. Fault now cleared. Dodgy conductor in phone lead. On the floor (computer) OK. Stretch to phone NOK. Somehow I was convinced it was a line fault as...

I am undertaking a new build and wondered what H&S implications apply - 1. Will it come under the CDM Regs? 2. Do I need to notify the HSE, if so how? 3. Any...

Hi Darren, Self-Build Zone were the best for me with cost being the main factor (www.selfbuildzone.com), I got a good deal at Harrogate HB&R Show. Mark...
We recently (Oct05) went for the Osma overlay system for our ground floor system. Not cheap but very competently put together - and it's all there - no extras...
Thank you one and all for your advice and feedback. I'm looking at the Vigor Router Modems on the web site, and we may buy one (seems expensive though at...
It's a lot of money for someone that just needs a half-decent router that's better than the Tesco's freebie. I'd suggest that any of the Netgear or Linksys...
50-60 quid is quite enough to pay for a domestic wireless router (IMHO). I usually go for Netgear (about £70 trade) or - just recently - the Zoom 5590. For...
Configuration really is quite easy; most of the ISPs (including Tesco's) provide everything that you need to feed into the router to configure it. That's all...

So who else ran out of oil on this cold and frosty morning? I'm going to suggest that building in a reserve tank capable of carrying, say, three days fuel...
Pretty sure that's the same model I'm using. I bought mine nearly a year ago now from www.expnsys.com for just under £80 including a 'wireless dongle' for...
Practically every time I get an invoice for oil they include a flyer for the 'Watchman' system. Afraid I think that's an exorbitant price for not needing to...
