  • What is the difference between Flueless and Flue Gas Fires?

    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?

    Converting Conservatory to Extension with Downstairs Toilet

    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.

    Bath shower mixer tap vs rear fed shower on the wall

    Are deck mounted bath shower taps as good as the shower you would fit on a wall (not electric, normal taps) Good water pressure, new build, so no issues with water normally. I'm looking at thermostatic shower taps, but cannot decide of paying extra for a wall shower is worth the hassle, or would I get as good a shower if we simply get the tap replaced by a mixer tap. Looking at Mira Atom or Aqualisa Midas deck mounted taps. Vs Mira atom wall shower, or Bristan thermostatic shower. Thank you in advance!

    What's the minimum width of a corridor?

    What's the narrowest a corridor can be in your house? Our bathroom is currently off a bedroom, so building a corridor would make it more accessible. But we're not sure if we can squeeze it in.
