Hi, I have just removed a 1950s concrete fireplace and found a back boiler & damper behind. Can I remove this myself? It looks easy enough to remove the bricks etc. I dont want to fit a stove or anything. I would just like it to be opened up. Any advice appreciated. Picture attached of the...

So I’m doing a loft conversion and extension on my 2 bed bungalow, the building regs notes asks for “fire resistant cavity barriers to be installed at tops of wall and gable end walls” anyone know what these look like? And can provide me with a link to the ones I need? It’s a full fill cavity...

I have a wood burning stove which is efficient and does a good job of heating the home. I recently posted a new thread about installing another one in the kitchen -- reason being we have access to free timber (living near a furniture-making town). I have been offered a white limestone surround...

Would the fire resistance of the new door need to be in line with current requirements? Existing doors are all stained and waxed 6 panel pine, so it would look a bit odd to have a modern fire door there. Thank y'all kindly. Dain

I don't need a gas fire as I have a lovely log burner, but was just wondering how many gas fires on the market support conventional hard wired thermostats as in the type you use with central heating systems? All of the gas fires I have had a previous places I have lived have been very basic...

I'm putting in another wood burner in (this time in the kitchen) and have a question regarding the stove flue pipe. I only have a very shallow depth up the chimney flue (9 1/2") for the stove flue to go into. Structurally, would there be problems if the cast iron flue from the stove was say 2"...

Hello, How do you configure your enforcer with smoke detectors, and particularly the bells? My issue is that false alarms on smoke detectors happen. Should i have the full bells and whistles when it does?
