    Raising my kitchen ceiling
    Builders - 10 answers

    I’m looking to raise part of the ceiling in my kitchen, it’s not under a bedroom or other room as it’s in part of the front of the house that sticks out separately, almost like a front extension(?). It’s maybe a foot lower than the rest of the room and there’s one dividing wall to take into account. Would this be a fairly straightforward job or even possible?

    Boiler not heating
    Heating Engineers - 9 answers

    The u-bend beneath the kitchen sink is leaking. Now I’ve found the boiler isn’t heating. Could the leak in the u-bend have caused my boiler to lose pressure? The boiler is nearby in the kitchen.

    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?

    Builders - 11 answers

    Hi, We have a conservatory with tiled floors and polycarbonate roof. Can we convert that into an extension, that could also house a small wet room/toilet? If so, what are the steps we need to take (hire an architect? get planning permission)? Completely clueless about possibilities and what we need to do to get this happening. Thanks.
