  • Thermaskirt on partywall rising damp

    We have rising damp on a party wall which is quite bad, we have taken off the plaster to reveal quite bad bricks (the house is very old) i was wondering that once we have done what we can would the thermaskirt skirting boards be a good idea to keep it at bay for future? Thanks

    Glazed wine cellar units

    I've seen some really cool wine cellar units installed in the floor with a glass trap door. They're supposed to be easy to install but I can't find any info on floor strength requirements etc. Does anyone know much about these?

    Replacing Aga with Gas Fireplace

    Hi, After our Aga is removed, what do we need to do to safely install a gas stove/fireplace? We currently have an Aga in a brick chimney breast in the kitchen. There is a chimney opening that goes up 2 floors, through other people's flats and out the roof chimney. We are on the ground floor in a large Victorian house that has been divided into flats. The fireplace opening is probably the original one. However, we don't know if the current black flue goes all the way through the roof. The Aga is a gas Aga, so gas is already running to that space. Any information you can give will be greatly appreciated. Once we are sure we can go ahead with the plan and will ask for quotes for the installation. Thanks.

    Chimney breast removed

    Hi We are looking to purchase a bungalow which has already had the chimney breast removed, but our survey has revealed that the remaining chimney breast in the loft has not been secured properly and is supported by pieces of wood on the joists! Also there are no building certificates or party wall agreements for this work so could be a legal nightmare. Would it be viable to correct this problem or maybe just rebuild the fireplace and install a wood burner at the same time? Michael
