    Cold hallway additional radiator or bigger radiator?

    I recently installed a PIV unit in the loft, however this has now made the hallway and landing very cold. I have already adjusted the unit to the lowest setting to optimise humidity management and can’t go any lower. I was thinking about whether an additional radiator at the top of the stairs would help or would a larger radiator in the hallway be just as effective? It is currently only a single panel 600x600. I was thinking I could swap this for a double or triple panel of the same size. Which would be the better option in this scenario?

    Fence ownership

    our deeds don't specify who owns the adjoining fence with neighbour. We own back and right side as it adjoins a footpath. The posts and rails are on our side. Neighbour has pinned new feather edge boarding onto the existing using screwst leaving screws sticking through on our side . If this fence turns out to be ours and we need to replace how do we stand especially as the panels on the other side belong to the neighbour.

    advice on the dangers of removing asbestos and the health risk of having it in the house

    I've read about the dangers of asbestos in Artex. I know that there's a risk of inhaling asbestos in substantial quantities upon removing it but what about just being in the same room as an asbestos surface in general? Isn't there still a health risk present and if so, how dangerous is it?
