I should think that is correct, open fires are not common place in the
UKs housing stock, indeed many homes don't even have a chimney. It
does vary by area though, open fires are the norm in
Middleton-in-Teesdale as there is no mains gas there. There is mains
gas in Alston so most homes use that but open fires are still fairly
common. Overall though these places are small and won't make a
significant percentage of the total UK housing.

And what percentage of the population work in the building trade? The
odd bit of dust from putting up a shelf or two wouldn't be a problem
but using one as part of a whole house refurbishment is not what they
are intended for. If your requirement is for a commercial grade
cleaner buy a commercial grade cleaner and don't winge when your
expensive domestic one can't cut the mustard.
