Hi all, Hope you can help with a problem I've been having for a year or two. Basically I'm getting a lot of odour (cigarette smoke mainly) coming into my house from next door. The problem is the cavity wall. The house is a terrace (1930s) and there is a hole in my neighbours 'inward...

OP, i ask for pics so that i can help you. The first thing to do is to brick up the party wall opening to the neighbour's fireplace. Smoke test the other flues one at a time to check if they are compromised - however, the chimney breasts go up thro the upstairs flat (s) and loft, so they too...

i want to buy something like this to destroy tons of paper that i don't want to dump whole as it has my details on it: http://www.diy.com/nav/garden/garden-tools-equipment/compost-bins-incinerators/Galvanised-Incinerator-13088635 i want to avoid mega smoke blowing into my neighbours...

Getting too late now! All went exactly as you said until I tried to add a prox tag to my own user. I had taken over the user 01 master, it seems that 01 won't accept a prox tag, I returned that to master and set myself up as 06, but when I tried to set up the tag, the smoke alarm went off...

so is the new boiler now fitted. is there a lot of flue plume (smoke/steam flowing on to your property) your neighbour is covered by the human rights rules as described in the european union rules. sorry this is easy england with a back bone as strong as jelly. you have human rights to...

Our neighbour is an old lady and when we moved into the house she told us there was some problems with the chimney leaking and that the previous owner wasn't compliant with getting a smoke test done. So we agreed with her to get a smoke test done in August, the chimney sweep guy sealed up the...

I would like it to be a complete removal as we will be bringing over our Ring alarm system. I have found out that the Smoke Alarm (one sensor) is also connected to the Alarm System, there is a cable labelled as 'SAB' in the control panel, I am guessing this is for the Smoke Alarm? Is there any...

Looking at that photo, it seems really unlikely that that chimney would cause a significant build up of smoke in that room. Anway, solid wood smoke doesn't generally 'stink' (although coal does). Are you sure that that is the cause? Also, the smokeless zone issue is a bit of a red herring. The...

Sorry to be so late with a response! OP - what is the latest? When you had the chimne tested originally, did the sweep check insude HER house. That would have been logical. Some years ago, I smoke tested a chimney in '70s house, and the neighbour came around as her room was ull of my...

If smoke is entering from one pot to another you could remedy this by making the pot you are using higher than the others. But if the other pots are capped the problem could be that your main flues (midfeathers) the wall between the two flues are leaking . With the cap on the disused pot is now...

Morning, We live a late Victorian terrace property with shared floor joists between ours and our neighbours. There are large gaps in the party wall that the joists pass through. There are big gaps between the wall itself and the joists (between 1" and 4") and we're getting a lot of the...

Hi folks, I am converting my detached garage in to a living space with insulation (walls, floor and ceiling). Primary use is for my office and a gym. Dilemma with the heating, wife says simple electric convection heaters as we will not be spending lot of time in this space. I was hoping to...

1. No way could it be done in 1/2 a day. 2. Precisely, what kind of liner and what kind of insulation? The cowl must match the s/f appliance. 3. If smoke can enter your neighbour's flue, then fumes from your neighbour can enter your flue - the flue must be video'd and repaired. 4...

Hi, I live in a semi-detached property, and the chimneys are back to back with the neighbours. We have a problem with the top of the chimney (apparently from a builders inspection, 8 corses down from the pot). The mortar has worn away and causes a smoke to leak from the neighbours. The rest...

I had a clear out of my garage today and decided to burn all the stuff I did not need including plastic :lol: . You can imagine the black smoke that was being created and my stupid neighbour decided to hang some washing out. :roll: Half an hr later he decides to start ranting and calling me...

I have read various comments on doing this and need some help. I live in a flat which has shared heating, with a pipe running behind some kitchen cupboards and one into a utility cupboard in the lounge, both pipes coming from my neighbours property. My neighbour has taken up weed and where...

This is not entirely accurate. The ones that burn well-seasoned wood at a very high temperature have minimal output and are designed for smoke free zones.

Reading through what you have said plus some of reply's I would tend to agree that chances are the rayburn flue is unlined and there are issues with midfeathers. I would have a camera survey as a matter of urgency. Repeated chimney fires can easily crack flues. Also there is a strong chance your...

The NHS needs to be funded to the level of our EU neighbours. Healthcare demand is always skewed towards the older generation - nothing new here. The best bang for buck are public health campaigns to reduce obesity, smoking, diabetes etc.
