  • What is the safest flooring option for fire safety?

    Hi. I’m considering having new floors installed in my home. I’d like to know what the safest flooring option is when it comes to fire safety and to what extent that may depend on the quality of the product/brand? Thanks.

    Replacing double oven with single oven.

    Hi all A little friendly advice required please..... I need to replace my built-in double oven that has a power rating of 4.2 kW and is, as far as I can ascertain, on its own circuit due to having its own circuit breaker at the mains fuse box and main switch at the wall next to the oven. I have bought / replaced my own ovens without issue before, but something is making me doubt myself and seek clarity. My question is, so long as the replacement oven is equal to or less than 4.2 kW, it should be a straight forward, like-for-like replacement...... Shouldn't it? Would I have to replace the cable running from the oven to the wall switch or consider anything else? Many thanks in advance for your advice. Nick

    DIY cladding mixture

    Is it legal to create your own cladding mix, by combining different ingredients? For instance, could I create a lime monocouche hybrid, etc.? How could I tell if my hybrid is going to work okay? Is this simply too risky eitherway? Just a thought.

    Excavating a basement

    I've recently acquired a property which has a large basement space which isn't being used for anything. It is about 6 foot tall so to do anything with it I could do with it being a bit taller. Can I excavate a down further? What trouble might I face and what do I need to consider. Thank you.
