It was in a fire brigade's "black museum" that I saw pictures of a fire started by a damaged cable under a carpet. Family woken by neighbours who had seen the smoke / flames. No life lost but extensive smoke and water damage. That was a flex under carpet across a door.

And tell your neighbours what you are doing so they dont call the fire brigade thinking it is smoke coming out of your window :lol:

I got a call from my neighbor this morning, telling me the house the other side of me was on fire. Having ascertained that the fire brigade had put the fire out, I was happy just to open the windows when I got home, and clear any smoke out. Except I get home, and find the fire brigade have...

Just had my next door neighbour pop in to tell me the good or bad news depending on your point of view. While we were out today, my new cat loving neighbours, apparently became my cat loving ex-neighbours. They've moved out - lock, stock and two smoking tabbies!

And, if your neighbour needs a chimney lined, then he should be paying for it. I'd contact the local council environmental health dept to come out and see this smoke for themselves.

Hi All, I have a cooking extractor that has a flexible aluminum ducting connected to outside. The ducting runs between kitchen ceiling and upstairs bedroom. When we cook, our neighbour complains that strong cooking smells get into their home. We did a smoke test to rule out any route from...

I think it all about luck but I think you would live longer if you didn't smoke. My next door neighbour smoked 40-60 fags a day and lived to 87 years of age but only died because he fell asleep and burnt the bungalow down !

I'm struggling with the concept of a Brick construction being described as a Shed! to me sheds are built from Timber! hope your neighbours are good with it and the smoke from your wood burner does not cause you any grief! (sort of glad you are not my neighbour! - no offence) :wink:

Whatever the cause don't leave the house while the dishwasher is on. May seem like silly advice but a neighbour in the side street, many years ago, had a fault with a tumble dryer. I told her to switch it off and wait till I could get there the following day. The following morning she popped...

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I did manage to get the fire to burn, however, my neighbour had smoke coming down their back fireplace so no more cosy fires until I get a sweep out! Seems like the front chimney is blocked and that might have been the reason why there was not much draw...

I have upgrade some smoke alarms in a house which now has 3 hardwired alarms and one wireless heat detector. All alarms are from the Aico range (Ei3016, Ei603RF). I have installed one radiolink module (Ei3000MRF) into one of the hardwired alarms. This allows the hardwired alarms to communicate...

If there is a smell of smoke in the room then under no circumstances would I be using that room for a nursery until the problem is resolved properly. Plugging the gaps and carpeting is NOT a proper solution to this, just because you can't see or smell smoke does not mean that a potentially...

Flues are separate from party walls and so there is no joint responsibility. Also, smoke its a statutory nuisance so if need be you can insist that the neighbour rectifies this at their own expense

Your CBD claim is a red herring, a distraction technique. Stop smoking pot!

all the trend of late, but what are the rules... as a user, what can you burn or not? painted timber? daily rubbish? and as a neighbour? what can you complain about? smoke smelliing washing?

I have a terraced house and an extension with a flat roof. My neighbour when he smokes has the habit to throw his cigarette butt on my flat roof. Could it catch fire?

Hi, Our loft isn't boarded and we require it boarding up completely and turning in to a room (not a bedroom). Currently struggling to find a builder who can answer the phone, let alone come and give us a quote asap. We have a huge problem with our neighbours who are heavy smokers. They moved...

There are nuisance laws, rather complicated to follow, but if the smoke causes a nuisance, regardless as to whether approved fuel is used, you can be told to stop and get into trouble if you don't. It's very unlikely to happen, as the neighbour would have to prove a nuisance (say smoke coming...

Hi Querolson, I was hoping to please get some advice from you you regarding your (tobacco) smoke issue. Our neighbour's smoke is coming into our first floor-void, via her first floor-void and through a poorly built parti-wall. We can smell the smoke below our floorboards on one side of the...

I could never tolerate the likes of "The Samaritan" as a neighbour. I'd have to let the dogs roll in the compost heap, start smokin huge Cuban's & blow a few smoke rings suggestively at his bf.
