  • Ideal boiler temperature

    Does the ideal boiler temperature vary significantly from model to model or even based on the type/design of the boiler in question? I assume the manual of any given boiler will provide this information anyway for any given boiler model?

    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

    How can I improve the look of my staircase?

    Hi. I’m thinking of improving the look of my home’s staircase but I’m not quite sure how to go about it. See, I’ve considered, for example, adding wallpaper to the front-facing parts of the steps. What sort of wallpaper patterns/colours would work here and is there anything in particular to consider when applying wallpaper to stair risers? As in, is the process any different than adding wallpaper to a wall (except for cutting it out so that it will fit on the stair risers of course). Hope all this makes sense. Looking forward to hearing back!

    When to replace gas boiler

    Should we replace our gas boiler before the law changes in 2025? Our boiler still works but it's almost ten years old and I'm worried about what we'll do if it breaks after that time.
