Rectifying 1974 built gas flue

My gas flue c 1974 needs extending to comply with present regs for fitting new gas fire. Does this need qualified corgi guy? I recognise fire fitting does and what are the regs I have been quoted £250 to rectify flue and fit gas fire-- seems OTT! What need to be done just to extend the flue?

Removing all paste after stripping wallpaper

Hi guys, thanks for your replies, yes its been skimmed---very thin though but think I can repair sufficiently and yes had reached conclusion that probably sugar soap and elbow grease were now the requirements---still cheaper tho than plasterer! One of these days am going to learn how to plaster more...

Energy saving bulbs

Does anyone know if the heat output from a 15 watt energy saving bulb is less than a 75watt normal bulb---I want to put an 15 watt energy saving bulb into a light fitting recommending max 60 watts--will it melt the wiring?
