We have started laying Wickes laminate flooring and as we have reached the centre of the room the joints are not sitting flush.
Hi, when I light my log burner, I end up with the bedroom above filling with smoke(The bedroom has an unused original fireplace in in it). The landlord says he’s had it checked and there’s nothing wrong with the chimney. I feel like I’m being fobbed off and could do with some advise as to what the problem could be so I can go back to him with it. Can anybody help? Thanks
Over the back of where I live there is a block of flats that has a water tank room and I've noticed the last few weeks there is a constant humming noise and vibration coming from it that I can here and feel from my house. Its got worse each day. I have reported it to the company who manage the block of flats and they said they sent an engineer to inspect it and he couldn't here anything witch is ridiculous and he must be toned death. Do you think there is a fault and should I report it to the environmental health at my local council?
I have a bare concrete floor in a ground-floor side extension, and there’s a drainage system in place (likely for moisture/water runoff). The room is the coldest in the house, even with a radiator. I’d like to install laminate flooring, but I want to know the correct way to prepare the floor in this situation. Can insulation be added under the flooring to help with the cold, and if so, what type would be suitable over concrete with potential moisture? Would I need a damp-proof membrane, specific underlay, or a subfloor system? Are there any concerns about moisture affecting laminate in this kind of space? Or would a different type of flooring be more suitable? Please note this is for a wheelchair user and a carpet is unsuitable.

Just how good are smart appliances? I’ve heard a lot about the internet of things and how with more and more connected devices, we can have more control and ultimately simplify everything in life. Is this a fair assessment? Are smart appliances beneficial or a waste of money? I’d love to hear the honest thoughts of a professional on the matter. Thanks!
