Accenta 8 mini alarm fault?

Hi Sunny,
just moved into the house and i have an accenta 8 mini alarm system installed, which was working fine until recently.
it has now developed an intermittent tamper fault which activates when we switch on or off the D/Stairs toilet light/fan.
I cannot see where the fault is
Any ideas ??
ps I have just redecorated my hall where i had to take the pir/internal sounder alarm and control box off the wall but the wiring has not been disturbed
I have checked the wiring in the PIR/IS Alarm and control box and everything appears OK
Any Ideas ??

We had our roof replaced recently, and the alarm (Accenta 8) became faulty while they were doing the roof. I suspect you are going to say that they have damaged a wire or something. There is no wiring (as far as I am aware) anywhere near the roof or attic space.The downstairs panel is showing power light (red) and tamper light (red), I am a mechanical engineer by trade, so am ok with electrics to a certain degree. I have checked all the fuses on the main board, all fine, power supply to main board is fine, battery is showing it is fine (and battery was replaced with a genuine one 8 months ago as that went faulty). Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Your not going to fix it yourself are you.
Teach you to mess with something you do not understand.
Dig deep, pay someone.

And as noted being polite might have given you better answers.
The people here as noted are at the top of their game,and give free advice.
But not to rude persons.
