Hey guys, So I have a new downstairs neighbour who has moved into the flat below mine. Unfortunately they sometimes smoke indoors (when they come home at 2am) and the smell comes up into my flat, specifically into the bedroom. There are no windows in my bedroom (just a uPVC terrace door which...

Hi guys ...just a quickie...after hearing todays news about four tragic deaths in a fire please remember to keep your smoke detectors working. If you have any elderly relatives or neighbours the fire service will fit smoke detectors free of charge.....they even changed the battery in my...

I don't, I used to mind, gave up about 7 months ago, doctors orders, or rather surgeons orders after slicing my tendon with a stanley knife :oops: I do miss it though, at times, especially when I am stressed, anyway this isn't my point. I live in a terrace house in the middle of the row, my...

This smoke alarm links in to all YALE wirefree alarms. When this sensor detects smoke it then activates your external alarm siren meaning that neighbours are alerted to the possibility of a fire in your home. If you have a 6400 alarm when this smoke detector is activated you will recieve a call...

I really hope somebody can give us some advice on this: We have recently bought and moved into a mid terraced, Victorian house, and smoke has been coming into our lounge from next door after they have lit a fire. The smoke can only be seen around the wall that their fireplace is on, but the...

I live in a beautiful old Lake District stone house...so does my 'attached' neighbour. Their house has a much lower roof line and much lower chimney stack. The top of their stack is very close to the bottom of our pitched slate roof....hence when they light a fire our house fills with the smell...

Hello Everyone! Having a bit of a disaster at the moment... we took off the laminate beading in our spare bedroom (upstairs) to paint the walls as eventually we are going to get carpets. Next day and over the last month the smell of cigarettes has been getting worse and worse and the room...

saw my next door neighbour this morning and she was moaning as usual, she said that the smoke from my woodburner which is in my workshop was getting through her bedroom window and penetrating her knicker drawer and making her knickers smell of woodsmoke, I said that she should be so lucky, I was...

My neighbour has installed a multi-fuel stove and ever since he did we have been getting smoke in our house. We are a semi-detached, brick built, about 1895 and our stairs adjoin to the neighbours lounge. We can feel the warmth on the wall from his fire and there is a strong smoke smell and...

...and can I stop it? I live in an early 1970s mid-terrace. I don't share a chimney or a loft with my neighbours (each house has a separate roof) but when they smoke weed I can smell it in my house. In fact I've had visitors come in and say 'I didn't know you smoked weed'. I don't like the...

Hi I live in a Victorian semi-detached house which was originally one property and I'm looking for advice on how can I stop cigarette smoke coming through the walls (or possible any other shared parts, loft, floorboards etc) as my neighbour is a very heavy chain smoker. Thank You

Help! We have quite recently had new neighbours move in next door to us. We live in a semi and they are attached to our house. They are Turkish and smoke very strong cigarettes. Unfortunately the smoke is somehow coming in through the wall into my 7yr old daughters bedroom. I have no idea...

Please help. There is a central crack in my lounge wall. My neighbours have a log burner and apparently the flue in my loft is my neighbours. Occasionally I've smelt smoke indoors. Please see attached photos.why would it be coming from their side should this not be on an outside wall? New...

Hello, not sure if this is the right forum section to post in? We have just had a lovely open fire fitted for the winter months. Our house is a semi detached house circa 1900. I have had a sweep round who gave it a clean and smoke pellet etc and all was fine according to him, he said...

Evening all I was thinking the other evening that should the unfortunate event of a house fire happen and no one is at home, we are reliant on the neighbours being in and hearing the smoke alarms to ring the fire brigade. I began researching on how to have an alert through to your phone...

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. I live on a terrace and our neighbour’s chimney is leaking smoke into our bedroom. This often involves only a fairly intense smell of smoke (horrible) but we also noticed one night a smokey haze in the room. We obviously want to get this sorted...

Hi there. We've got a problem with cigarette smoke coming from our neighbours house, we live in a terraced cottage. Every night when they come home we start to smell smoke after a while in our living room, we don't actually see smoke but can distinctly smell cigarette smoke. Not pleasant as...

Hi I have a 4 year old house with a pre cast flue fitted for a gas fire. The house as always had a electric fire fitted and recently had a plumber out to fit a gas fire as the flue and gas pipe are already there. The first thing the plumber did was a smoke test and most of the smoke came back...

We're planning a single storey extension in which the wall of the extension and the wall of the neighbouring house will be slightly over 2m apart. We also plan to install a chimney flu to cater for a new solid fuel (wood) fire. My architect tells me its not possible to have this because the...
