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 risky is it to install an RSJ DIY? Is it okay to do so? Do you need special permission or approval? How does it work? Thanks.
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!

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.

I have been paving my front garden. I had noticed a couple of slabs were sinking a little so I dug them up and relaid I have left a gap of 300mm to the house with about 4 inches of small chippings. The paving is running away at at least 1/60. Also not much rain water falls in that area due to the over hang of about 300mm of the roof What I noticed after finishing is that the slabs although 300mm away are about 30mm higher than the bottom of the dpc. There doesn't appear to have been problems when the two large slabs were sloping in and that's been fixed. Perhaps I am overthrowing it but I just wanted to check
I have fitted a new ball valve and it still leaks from pipe that comes from boiler
Do home security systems need servicing at all? Do all systems need it or just certain types?
