    • Are Damp Proof Courses worthwhile?
    Specialists - 2 answers

    I have some building experience – was suspicious of Damp Proof Courses from a structural viewpoint, but I’d like to be sure if this is the case. I’ve has some experience with building work in the past and have heard about various issues with using DPC’s. I know they are typically just black plastic sheets between brick/stonework a few courses up from the foundation, to stop the damp rising from the ground up, but I don’t know how much of a problem this really is. I’ve been told about they can cause a wall that is in construction to be knocked over with a small bump. It worries me that the wall integrity is affected by these sheets. It worries me how easy they can cause a wall to be shifted – I don’t want to use them if they are an additional risk. Does anyone know any more about whether DPC’s compromise the integrity of the walls? Have you had any issues that they have caused? Are they worthwhile for the sake of just avoiding damp?

    What is the difference between Flueless and Flue Gas Fires?

    Plumbers - 4 answers

    Can anyone tell me what difference there is between having flue and flueless gas fires? I have recently removed an old gas fire from my house and now have a gap. I want to install a modern gas fire in the space, but I don’t know what difference it would be if it is flue or flueless. Is it related to the chimney pipe up to the chimney from the fire? Can anyone advise me on here, please?

    Verification & Certification of a Smart Switch Install
    Electricians - 10 answers

    Hi, I'm a tenant and can only have smart switches installed in the property I'm renting if: 1. The install is made by a professional with a certificate that would be used for insurance purposes 2. The switches are removed after the tenancy with another certificate that everything is back to the initial condition. Costs are totally prohibitive for an installation that will be temporary in nature like this. What I would like to have answered instead would be if it is possible to make all the installs myself, go through the pain and time waste of ensuring everything works and only pay for the labor of having a qualified electrician come to check and certify that the install was made to the best UK standards. (Then, the same in reverse to verify and certify the removal and reinstall of the initial switches. Many thanks for your help!
