Gas Safety warning for UK cities…

Edinburgh, Birmingham and Norwich as cities most in danger from CO poisoning

Gas Safe Register has identified the top ten cities across the UK that have homes with a large proportion of unsafe gas appliances.

Gas Safe Register and the Fire and Rescue Service are issuing a joint festive gas safety warning as December continues to be the time of year that Gas Safe Register finds the highest number of unsafe appliances in UK homes.

In fact, over the last five years, an average of one in six (17%) boilers, fires and cookers were investigated and found to be unsafe in December. Unsafe gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fire, explosions and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

Jonathan Samuel, chief executive at Gas Safe Register, said: “Christmas is a fun and exciting time of the year for families who get together and relax in their homes. However, it can quickly go wrong if families’ gas appliances stop working or become unsafe. Our data shows that December is a month where a lot of unsafe gas appliances are found as part of our investigations.

“Gas Safe Register is urging families to ensure that they get their annual gas safety check in time for the Christmas festivities so that they can enjoy the holidays with peace of mind that their gas appliances are working safely and efficiently.”

Mark Jones from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, added: “December is always a busy time of the year for fire related incidents. As a first line of defence, it is important to keep all appliances well maintained and ensure that the appropriate safety checks are carried out regularly, as well as having both CO and smoke alarms installed in homes.”

To stay gas safe this festive season, follow Gas Safe Register’s top tips:

1. Only employ a legal Gas Safe registered engineer when having gas work carried out in your home. You can find or check a registered engineer in your area by calling Gas Safe Register on 0800 408 5500 or by visiting www.GasSafeRegister.co.uk

‘Trust the Triangle’ and always ask to see your engineer’s Gas Safe ID card. Make sure you check the back of the card, which will state which gas appliances they are qualified to work on.

Sign up for a reminder service to make sure your gas appliances are checked annually: www.StayGasSafe.co.uk

If you smell gas or think there might be a gas leak, or suspect CO call the free 24-hour national gas emergency number immediately on 0800 111 999.

Top 10 unsafe cities in the UK Percentage of gas appliances inspected found to be unsafe Edinburgh 40% Birmingham 33% Norwich 31% Swindon 29% Ipswich 28% Wolverhampton 27% London (outer) 25% Sheffield 24% Coventry 22% London (central) 22%

Ray Gosling and the Inscape of Landscape

In his 1980 memoir Personal Copy, Ray Gosling recalls a lecture he gave to a group of Nottingham University architecture students sometime in the winter of 1964. Entitled ‘The Darkness of Virtue’, apparently in homage to Jean Genet, the lecture developed Gosling’s theory that all phenomena can be classified as either an orgy, a crucifixion or an abortion. By way of illustration, in the context of a discussion of his and D.H. Lawrence’s differing sentiments on the ugliness of England’s industrial north, he unleashes one of my favourite pieces of social commentary in the English language.      “The slum is awful,” Gosling writes, “but it has a purpose, it is a something, as a crucifixion is an event. There may be no meaning to it, but there is an order, a purpose, a pattern out of which, as in death, there is comfort. The magic of darkness.”

And so we (I) can turn our crucified towns, on wicked rainy days, like Bilston and Bacup, Blackwood and Ilkeston into a romance, tragic and solemn, merry and bright notwithstanding the ugliness. A crucifixion is a world that can be so black that when a break comes, a tear of goodness, it shows. When God pricks the black out, the light can be so bright, angelic, pure, white, innocent, wise and beautiful. Slums have been noted as milky ways of good company, of comradeship, life and laughter, with real people, helping hands in times of trouble.

A crucifixion is a grand anachronism: an event or a place so ugly that it gains a gripping fascination. It fills the eye and moves receptive organs. Life in it is bleak for, however many stars of goodness, no milky way ever shines like the sun. Stars only shine because of the darkness. A crucifixion is like the Church of England prayer book used to be – during a service, moving and emotional and they let you say “Amen” at the end of the vicar’s prayer.

A crucifixion is a graveyard service, the rough and tumble of working in a factory; death; black blood; Dracula; the formal dance; the narrow canyons of a manufacturing district or the City of London, with workrooms between the monumental tombstones – in memoriam; the sweatshops of Queen Victoria’s reign; the reasons for Karl Marx, like Scrooge, Dickensian – and if you cleaned its buildings would they not fall apart? The Ritz, a grand hotel, a very posh district, a Mayfair of rich folk, of villas in mock gothic glory, private roads and pomp, hypocrisy and poverty. The Tatler, The Field and The Gun. A Rutland flat hat. The foxhunt; a backyard knife fight; the formal restaurant meal. A mug in the greasy spoon transport café; a pawnbroker. A boarding house breakfast at Blackpool; the stock exchange. Coronation Street; a gentleman’s smoking room club. The entire nineteenth century; the pub wedding party. Pit tips at Gedling; untidied heritage; Liverpool. The Trip to Jerusalem; traditional bookshops; backstreet life. Steptoe and Son – I would later have added Alf Garnett and Enoch Powell. Indoor public baths. The bell on an alarm clock.

All these things, Gosling writes, have style and purpose, and “manners” to their purpose. “You feel that if you hate them, they will hate you back. They make you feel something.” As time rolls on, and as these things gradually become memories, we come to feel a certain affection for them: “We prize our crucifixions: with all their faults, all the misery they caused, they were as much our history as the palaces of the Czars, preserved by the Soviet Russians.” Thank God Lawrence didn’t live to see the England that emerged in their place, Gosling muses: “our modern world of neutered non-events and plastic non-life”. Here, now, we have “exchanged the animal for the vegetable for the mineral. Exchanged the crucifixion for an abortion.”

An abortion is tasteless, has no smell because the room’s anaesthetised. You can’t hate it, you can’t love it… It has no aesthetic, it is an anaesthetic. […] It is giving a man a bath, a toilet, hot and cold, central heating, television and taking away his freedom without putting him in prison. Today we have the technological, scientific and human resources we need to make our lives more exciting, more free, full and happy than they have ever been. And no Big Daddy – no need for the rich man to overlord you from his castle… We are all equal. Life can be smooth. We shall neuter industrial horrors and call work play.

[…] Our towns are becoming places where we meet only by design. There is little accident, little haphazard or chance encounter. We’re becoming so we don’t have to touch or smell each other. A city without Crucifixion or orgy: without either purpose or meaning of a kind that can be immediately understood. Castrated of any spontaneous excitement, any love by people across section lines. This is what I call an abortion: a non-life. It is as modern as the hour…

An abortion is a clean kitchen. A new town. Police panda cars. Good television. Chinese restaurants. Suburbs. Coventry precinct. Industrial museums. Muzak in the crematoria. Preserved heritage. The milk bar. Bully Butlin. Net curtains. Hire purchase. A bypass. The lido. Love with a contraceptive sheath. The Soviet Union. The architecture of the Co-op. A motorway caff.

Maybe these notions are merely notions, says Gosling: “not a truth but a party game.” Certainly, the academic world would have little time for such poetic phraseology. But poetic modes of expression (poiesis – “to create”) have their place, particularly in any discipline which claims to study human experience – social or otherwise – whose subject is by definition fluid, protean, largely non-rational, and in a state of constant mutation. Such an analysis will never be “precise” in any formal sense, but the tools provided by poetry are capable of activating a great deal of content in very few words, in a way in which the turgid prose of traditional academic analyses cannot.    Gerard Manley Hopkins used the terms ‘inscape’ and ���instress’ to refer respectively to “the unified complex of characteristics that give each thing its uniqueness and that differentiate it from other things”, and “the force of being which holds the inscape together, or the impulse from the inscape which carries it whole into the mind of the beholder”. These essential features of a phenomenon cannot be grasped without adopting an intellectual posture in harmony with the phenomenon itself. This is precisely what is gained when we eschew, as Gosling does, a mode of expression that strives for objectivity, detachment and precision, in which words are corralled into singularity of meaning, denuded of their power to move the reader and stir feeling and memory.      On the other hand, Gosling suggests, “[m]aybe all I said was life should be fun and let ourselves be open. Fill all your holes fabulously, said Mr Genet. There can be no code of rights, no bill of liberties. What life should be is an orgy.”

An orgy is the life of an English gentleman in the eighteenth century. Tom Jones and good Queen Anne. An orgy is infectious: everyone joins in. You do the hokeykokey and you shake about. The whole of the eighteenth century. The night Forest won the cup. (Until the police arrested H.H. – that was a crucifixion.) Disco dancing when it’s gone a little wild. The Wine Lodge on a Saturday when the trio plays. A pub crawl. The piano at the back bar of the Napier. Mr Jackson, the grocer’s shop on Piccadilly. A delicatessen: an old open market square: a coaching inn: Goose Fair: Christmas: Lyon’s tea shop: Woolworth’s normally: an Indian restaurant because you get some taste: a hot sensation: Petticoat Lane: Sneinton Market: fast trains with buffets: Skegness on Bank Holiday: The cremation of Nehru. […]

An orgy is an event, a fiesta, something fabulous. (How awful those words were to become.) We have yet to learn, us English, that pleasure is to be taken. Every freedom we have is licensed, and we worry if to enjoy ourselves is in order. Licenses are abortions.

Plans for stand-in home while the Commons is refurbished

For generations, MPs have spoken of the ‘Westminster bubble’. Soon, they could be going to work in a real one. For, after hundreds of years on the banks of the River Thames, MPs and peers are considering dramatic plans to temporarily relocate the Mother of Parliaments to a sort of lozenge-shaped greenhouse about half a mile away.

Under the intriguing scheme, a 151 metre-long structure, containing exact replicas of the Lords and Commons debating chambers, would be built on Horse Guards Parade, the arena behind Downing Street currently used for Trooping the Colour.

It would then be occupied for between six and seven years, while the crumbling Palace of Westminster is evacuated for major restoration works to take place.

For generations, MPs have spoken of the ‘Westminster bubble’. Soon, they could be going to work in a real one. For, after hundreds of years on the banks of the River Thames, MPs and peers are considering dramatic plans to temporarily relocate the Mother of Parliaments to a sort of lozenge-shaped greenhouse about half a mile away

The proposal is the brainchild of Norman Foster, the famous architect behind such existing London landmarks as 30 St Mary Axe (the so-called ‘Gherkin’), Wembley Stadium and the ‘wobbly bridge’ built across the Thames near the Tate Modern gallery to celebrate the Millennium.

He is understood to have formally pitched it to a committee overseeing the Palace of Westminster’s renovation in a meeting held at his architectural firm’s London office late last month.

According to detailed plans unveiled at the meeting, Foster’s so-called ‘Temporary Parliament’ will centre on elaborate copies of each of the historic building’s two 31-metre debating chambers, along with not just their adjoining lobbies, but also the imposing central lobby in which MPs and peers must rub shoulders with the public.

‘The existing Palace is one of the world’s most famous buildings, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and recreating it will send out a strong message of confidence in British democracy, and our place in the world, at a time when it feels under attack,’ says a source who was at the event. ‘It will also become a great tourist attraction and provide a terrific legacy.’

Under Lord Foster’s plan, every part of the replica will be exactly the same size as the Victorian original: 13.5 sq m for the new Lords lobby and 15 sq m for the Commons one. The layout of the seats in each chamber will also be identical, while both interiors will be four storeys high.

Intriguingly, almost all the internal features, from the tiled floors to the wood-panelled walls and Gothic windows of the existing Palace, will be painstakingly recreated in order to help maintain historical traditions and customs, along with a feeling of familiarity for lawmakers.

Under the intriguing scheme, a 151 metre-long structure, containing exact replicas of the Lords and Commons debating chambers, would be built on Horse Guards Parade, the arena behind Downing Street currently used for Trooping the Colour. Glass House: Artist’s impression of how the finished design would look

So detailed will Lord Foster’s architectural copy be that he even intends to hire craftsmen who will ensure that the leather benches on which MPs and peers sit have exactly the same amount of wear and tear in his temporary facility as they do in the existing one.

‘He wants it to feel the same, right down to the cracks in the leather,’ said the source.

Surrounding Lord Foster’s historical replica of Westminster’s political heart, which will take some 18 months to build, will be a more modern structure, spanning five floors and made largely from pre-fabricated timber.

Its upper floors will hold offices, committee rooms and media facilities with views through a glass panel to the debating chamber. The entire ground floor, meanwhile, will be given over to 2,300 sq m of catering facilities, replacing the eight bars and 15 cafeterias and restaurants in the current Palace.

On top will be an indoor garden, which can be used as a ‘flexible space’ for corporate events, exhibitions and presentations, helping to earn back some of the £125-£175 million that the temporary building will cost to build.

It will boast views of Big Ben, the London Eye, Nelson’s Column and Buckingham Palace.

Enclosing the whole thing, meanwhile, will be a striking glass ‘envelope’ or roof, made up of thousands of bomb-proof triangular panels, each side of which will measure roughly 6ft.

Some will be clear, to let in sunlight, and others ‘solid’. A selection will be covered with solar panels, providing renewable energy to the building.

A ‘ring of steel’ will surround the building, preventing vehicles and people from gaining access without security clearance.

When the division bell rings to indicate a parliamentary vote, MPs and peers will be able to access the new facility from their offices in under eight minutes (as tradition dictates), by using underground tunnels that already exist under Whitehall or a temporary walkway above Parliament Street that will bridge the roof of Portcullis House with that of HM Treasury on the opposite side.

Foster’s Westminster ‘bubble’ is designed to remain in situ next to St James’s Park while urgent works are carried out on the Palace of Westminster.

The historic building, regarded as one of the finest examples of Victorian neo-Gothic architecture, is in a state of extreme disrepair, with many parts having barely been renovated since the 19th century, when it was built by Charles Barry and Augustus Welby Pugin, after most of the medieval Palace was destroyed by fire in 1834. It took over three decades to complete. Since then, none of the heating, ventilation, water, drainage or electrical systems has undergone a major renovation. Asbestos is present throughout and pollution is causing major decay to the limestone facade, parts of which are in danger of collapsing.

Most of the building’s 4,000 windows do not close properly, letting heat out and cold and water in, while the cast-iron roof is leaking to such an extent a Commons debate was suspended last week.

The Palace’s sewage system is 150 years old, while doddery electrics are causing a number of minor fires each year, mostly in the basement. In a debate on refurbishment works, Labour MP Kevin Barron last year noted there was so much metal holding up the place that it looked like the coal mine he used to work in.

With this in mind, MPs and peers decided last spring to evacuate the entire building in the early 2020s to allow for a full refurbishment, estimated to cost £4 billion.

The proposal is the brainchild of Norman Foster, the famous architect behind such existing London landmarks as 30 St Mary Axe (the so-called ‘Gherkin’), Wembley Stadium and the ‘wobbly bridge’ built across the Thames near the Tate Modern gallery to celebrate the Millennium

Since then, parliamentarians have been debating where exactly to relocate. Some favoured upping sticks to a provincial city, such as Birmingham or Coventry. Others have floated the idea of moving to other historic buildings. In a Lords debate last year, Labour’s Meghnad Desai suggested moving to Buckingham Palace, as ‘it’s the only building large enough’. Lord Inglewood proposed the Palace of Versailles on the basis ‘I live further from London than Paris’.

After a time, though, they settled on a less drastic plan to move into existing buildings nearby — peers were to relocate to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre opposite Westminster Abbey, while a new debating chamber for MPs was to be created at Richmond House, a civil service building next to the Cenotaph on Whitehall.

But this scheme — which involved separating the two parliamentary chambers for the first time in 500 years — proved controversial. This is because the courtyard in which Richmond House’s debating chamber was originally supposed to be built has turned out to be too small to house MPs.

As a result, the entire building (apart from its facade) will need to be knocked down and rebuilt to accommodate them.

Not only is this hugely costly, but it has also outraged conservationists who point out that the Grade II*-listed building is an important and attractive work by Sir William Whitfield, who died only last month.

Another plan would see a Commons chamber created in the atrium of Portcullis House, where many MPs have their offices.

However, Lord Foster’s big idea appears set to become the most popular among conservationists, who believe it can capture the public imagination. ‘The current project, to relocate to Richmond House, is terrible and destructive,’ says Marcus Binney, president of Save Britain’s Heritage.

‘We are very pleased indeed that this more sensible alternative is now being put forward, and hope it gets seriously considered.’

Working in favour of Lord Foster’s approach is the fact that his pre-fabricated structure can be taken down and reassembled in an alternative location once the renovation of Parliament is complete.

Supporters of the project hope to creating a museum, concert venue or other tourist attraction elsewhere in the country, helping to offset the enormous costs of Parliament’s refurbishment — and meaning that the nation’s most eye-catching bubble doesn’t always have to stay in Westminster.

Fireplaces in Coventry

Tips for choosing the best fireplace in Coventry

The fireplace is one of the most important parts of the house especially if you live in the UK where unfortunately the weather is quite often cold. Most of the people want to ensure that they have the best fireplace that will enhance the look of their interior as well as providing the essential functionality of keeping them warm.

Of course most homes these days have a central heating system but that doesn’t mean the fireplace is dead, in fact they are more popular than ever. So if you are looking for a great fireplace in Coventry here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Fuel

There are three main choices to make here: Gas, electric and a real wood/coal burner. This will be the first decision you make before you start looking at designs.

Wood Burner

Obviously for a real fire you will need a chimney installed in your house if you don’t already have one. This isn’t as drastic as it sounds as it can be done quite easily with a pipe. All three of these have varying running costs. A wood burner can be the cheapest if you have a good wood supplier. Wood burners are also the most dangerous, probably not the best idea if you have small children. They also require the most maintenance and you will have to budget for a chimney sweep and regularly clean the fire itself.

Electric

Depending on the wattage electric fires can be expensive but it depends on what area you live in whether it’s going to be more expensive than gas. Electric require no maintenance and provide consistent heat at the flick of a button. There are no fumes to worry about and generally they are the easiest to install.

Gas

If you intend to choose gas then you must make sure there is a supply near to where you wish to position the fire. Gas fires will require a professional to install as doing it incorrectly could be deadly. You should also invest in a carbon monoxide monitor.

Design

Obviously this will come down to personal preference. There are many different styles to choose from. Traditional fire places are the most popular as they will look good in most environments. However there is a growing market for modern wall mounted fireplaces.

Wood Burners are incredibly popular right now and nothing beats having a real open flame in the house. There is something very special about it and it makes the house incredibly cosy. On a cold dark winters night there is nothing better.

You will also want to consider what kind of surround you want. Do you want a mantelpiece of a free standing unit?

Cost

One of the most important things to consider during the selection of the fireplace is your budget. You have to ensure that you select the material, fuel and service providers that will meet your requirements and your budget in the best possible way. It is important that you properly plan before getting the fireplace. Conduct a complete research that will give you the perfect idea about the things that you must select to keep it in your budget. Make sure that you compare two or more service providers so that you can have the best product at an affordable cost or discounted rate.

There may be interest free credit available depending on what you buy and where you buy it from.

Construction

Make sure that you pay special attention towards the construction of the fireplace. Some materials are going to last longer than others. Wooden surrounds are popular and provide a really rustic and traditional look but it isn’t going to last as long as marble. Make sure that you select the highest quality material for the construction of the fireplace. This is especially important if you choose to buy online as you can’t always get a feel for the quality of the materials. If you do buy online make sure you hire a professional to install it in your home. An incorrectly installed fireplace could be extremely dangerous. Always check the reviews of online retailers and installers.

Weather

The weather in Coventry should play a big part in your decision on what to buy. You may be buying it to enhance your living room but you want something practical which you can rely on as you get older and you start to feel the cold more.

The further North you live the more you will want something reliable and easy to use. Wood and coal burners provide fantastic heat but what happens when you run out of fuel and it’s the middle of the night? Consider this before you go down that road. Gas and electric are available at the flick of a switch.

Bottom line

It is important that you get the best quality fireplace that will stay with you and your property for a long time. To make this possible it is important that you hire professionals for the installation of the fireplace. We have the team of experts that have the knowledge and skills that you are looking for. Our team has the best reputation in market.

All you have to do is let us know your requirements and we will turn your vision into a reality. All our services are available at the most affordable rates so that you will not have to worry about your budget. Our quality services are the reason that we have gained the trust of our clients and they recommend us further.

£800m Scottish council energy retrofit deal

Thirty firms have won a place on a new national energy efficiency contract for Scottish councils worth up to £800m over four years.

The contract will help councils and housing associations drive forward energy efficiency measures in their properties to tackle fuel poverty, create warmer homes for local people and cut carbon emissions.

Julie Welsh, Director of procurement group Scotland Excel, said: “It is our largest ever framework in value and brings opportunities for 26 Scottish companies to secure a share of the business.

“With sustainability at its core, the contract will support councils and housing associations in their efforts to deliver energy efficiency improvements which will bring benefits to homes for current and future generations.

“The contract has been designed to help councils deliver improvements to housing to create warmer, more energy efficient homes, to tackle fuel poverty, and meet national carbon reduction targets, whether through local investment programmes or from national funding allocations.”

Winning firms offer a range of efficiency expertise including wall, loft, window and door insulation, gas boiler and heating systems, electrical storage heaters, solar panels, and controls
