Advantages: HOME CCTV AT AFFORDABLE PRICES Disadvantages: NOT SURE REALLY
...a building). It does save running cables across the whole house but you do still have to drill through the wall to fix it. Personally I’d stick to the wired option as you can’t have the auto video starter either and still have drilling to do. Be aware that the wireless cameras have what looks like a PIR sensor for movement on the front but it isn’t. In fact what it is, is an infra-red emitter (to allow the camera to see at night) but it will only see about half a metre from the camera in my experience so not a great option to be honest.
OK the costs for the wireless.
One b/w set is around £130 with additional cameras at around £80.
One colour set is around £170 with additional cameras at around £100.
The additional cameras come complete with power supply and transmitter.

Advantages: Choice of bead width. Doesn't require dispensing gun. Widely available Disadvantages: Smells like the sarsons factory after a catastrophic leak!!!! Can't be used in permanently wet areas.
...We have recently given our tired old looking bathroom a bit of a make over. As well as a new shower, new tiles and new taps, we decided to remove the mouldy old sealant around the sink and bath and replace it with new. For this purpose we chose Unibond's high performance shower, bath and kitchen sealant.
The main reason we used Unibond is due to the fact that it is a well-known and trusted brand and is also widely available. We purchased ours at B&Q for £3.99 for a 90ml (90g) tube.
