    Replace DGU with Insulated Panel - U-Value?

    Hi, I currently have fully glazed uPVC front door with mid-rail, along with matching side panels, total width 2.1m. In the summer, the hall gets extremely hot. In the winter, it's cold (but this is less of a problem). I'm looking into replacing the lower panels with solid panels...

    Loft Insulation at eaves

    I have a early 1970s bungalow, with typical low pitch roof. The tiles are interlocking concrete tile (look like Marley Wessex) and there is black "felt" underneath.

    Poor worktop join - any hope?

    I've had a kitchen "fitted", by someone who was recommended to me, but doesn't appear to have a clue what he was doing. He spent most of the time whining about how difficult the Axiom worktops are to work with. Most of his bodges I've solved myself, but the problems are the worktops -...

    Precast Flue - ventilate or not?

    I've had an old gas fire removed, and don't plan on replacing it, but currently the entire flue is intact. It's a bungalow, and the flue is on an internal wall. It consists of a ridge terminal, then in the loft, a vertical grey/blue pipe, with a 90 degree bend at the bottom into a concrete...
