Set fire to yourself outside the council offices with
the media filming that. That will get some action.

Cooking your neighbours is probably not doing many favours for them
either ;-)

Could you be a bit more specific?

What type of property?

Where the smells are coming from?
How you think they are getting into your place etc.

What you have tried so far?

Cheers,

John.

Oh dear.
There has to be some cooperation between yourself and the neighbour to
track the hole or holes where its coming through. assuming its a terraced
house for example the stairs may well be where the hole is in a cupboard
either in the kitchen or under the stairs where they join the party wall. In
my house its a cupboard where the idea was that a larder with an air vent in
the top was built under the rise of the stairs. Sadly the designers made the
void to the outside shared between the two houses, no doubt for cheapness.

One person in one house with something smelly t trying the various places
while the other one sniffs in those places the other side of the wall in
your house.
The basic principals of this are no doubt the same for flats and other
buildings.

A d-i-y solution might be to install a fan blowing fresh air IN to your property. This would slightly pressurise the house. Then any flow through grills, open windows and holes would be outward so no smells would enter.

If you do that then fitting a carbon filter on the inlet will remove
smells coming in too.

The DIY approach is one of the big carbon filters used for getting rid
of the smell while growing drugs.

But dont be too surprised if the cops show up with guns.

I think that is a bit harsh. I think John's questions are a good start.

Cooking smells causing a "nervous breakdown"? "This is destroying my life"?


No, this guy definitely has problems that go beyond cooking smells.

I should have added that I'm not criticising John's practical suggestions,
but the OPs message was loaded with emotional content rather than useful
info.

If the problem was *just* cooking smells, I would have expected to OP to
post some useful information rather than how awful he feels about it.

Since it homowners hub, we will probably never get a response anyway
based on previous experience!

As an adult you are responsible for your reactions to things. We all encounter very frustrating people at times.

they wont help me to try resolve this smell i get all the time day&nite

So show us the layout of your windows & the neighbours. Are you both in the same building? Is this neighbour a cafe? That might explain 'all the time'.

No it's not, but your reaction to it can do.
