    woodworm

    Isn't this what is known as "fumegation"? You seal up all the doors and windows, fill the house with something nasty. Although I thought this was usually done with larger bugs, like cockroaches and wasps. If the airtightness between semi/terraced houses is anything like that between me and...

    Fumes from Kitchen Extrator in Loft soloutions

    I basically getting the work done, and then will have to chase the neighbour for the cost. I thought about asking about a Recirculating extractor, as it seems the simplest, but I was told that for heavy cooking, they are not the best option, and they dont suck out moisture. Is that correct...

    Sloping cold / mouldy ceilings - should we try not venting the soffits ?

    Hi everyone, would be good to get your thoughts on this - we decided not to add the extra vents and the loft is very airy and breezy, not ofthe other neighbours have had a problem. However one week after soffits replaced some sticky residue drops / water marks have started trickling down the...

    Isolation switches

    By co-incidence there is a news item on local BBC TV about a house fire in West Norfolk caused by a tumble drier catching fire over night. Family escaped through first floor window after being woken by smoke alarm. The case I refered to meant the owner had to turn the main switch OFF to stop...

    Fumes from Kitchen Extrator in Loft soloutions

    1. Perhaps replacing the extractor is the most convenient way to go. It will certainly be the cheaper option. But how come you will have to pay? This is down to your neighbour or their builder. 2. that open c/breast in the loft contains at least two flues - find out where all and any of the...

    Time to scrap the Eurovision SONG contest?

    Do you thnk that, by the way the votes go, i.e. UK finishing bottom, or near the bottom, in the last few years, that the general feeling in Europe towards us is reflected by that ? Or is the voting for neighbouring countries just to keep the peace ?? I can't see the point in us entering...

    Smoke!

    Yeah. I can be sitting in the van at some lights, and get a whiff of a fag & look and see someone a few cars up the Q has just struck up a smoke.

    Something that stinks to high heaven.

    I'm having a problem with my neighbours. They like smoking weed and while I don't mind what they do or smoke generally speaking, I can't stand the smell of it nor it wafting through my house and having to close my windows every sunny afternoon because they've decided to get half their phone book...

    are patio heaters ethically acceptable?

    That reminds my of what must have been the first, or at least one of the first, no-smoking pubs. That was a pub in Appletreewick in Yorkshire and would have been in the early 1970s. My mates and I (all smokers in those days) had heard about it and went to investigate. The landlord's wife...

    Cable / Pipe Finders - Useful or waste of time?

    My earlier post was made partly in jest but with a degree of seriousness. Don't underestimate the risks of hitting live services - remember that hitting a LV cable causing significant damage it's likely that the cable will stay live as the fusing at the substation can be something like 500...

    Garden Fire

    One of my neighbours (bit of an old fellow) came up with the old chestnut a few years ago about there being a local bylaw prohibiting bonfires on a Monday as it was traditionally washing day. I check into it and it is a load of rubbish. As previously mentioned, the biggest thing is nuisance...

    Brick Slips or Hearth first - prep for wood burner

    I definitely don't align myself with the guardian! Just understand actual science. Yeah, all sealed. That's why your room smells of wood smoke. It has air inlet vents, which often function as outlets especially when it's getting going. But I agree, the majority of deadly toxins are spewed...

    How to stop cigarette smoke coming through walls etc from neighbours?

    If you have smoke/ odour coming through, then the compartmentation is defective and so the fire compartmentation - which should be the concerning thing. The cause is gaps, plain and simple. In the floor voids, wall edges, loft. Difficult to remedy, and requires lots of intrusive work...

    Hello For the last few months, we've had a burning paper smell in our house, we've searched the house from top to bottom and finally realised that the neighbouring property have a log burner. Sometimes our house is very smokey and the smelly is very strong. Could this be from the log...

    First Pyre

    But it's ok to chuck some dead meat onto a barbecue and have the smoke drift over your neighbours fence, the Pyres burn so intensely that there is no smell. Only Slogger knows the answer to that!
