I currently have a garden shed with full power, with the garden circuit being a separate circuit on the main consumer unit. Power is provided to the shed via a buried 50mm armoured cable. I am planning on replacing the shed with a proper garden room. Is it possible to utilise the current electricity connection in the new garden room, effectively directly replacing the shed with the garden room? I would expect to have a secondary consumer unit in the garden room.
I'm a homeowner with a 1954 property that was rewired in the 90s. I'm looking to upgrade the consumer unit and have been considering AFDDs on all circuits to help protect the older wiring. But I’ve noticed many electricians seem reluctant to install AFDDs in domestic properties. Aside from the cost, is there a reason for the hesitation? Are you concerned about false tripping, callbacks, or the complexity of diagnosing issues? Or is it just that AFDDs are still relatively unfamiliar tech for some in the trade? I’d really appreciate hearing from electricians who’ve installed them—especially in older homes. Are they worth the investment in your view?
We're looking at getting an EV charger and possibly a heat pump, and someone mentioned upgrading to 3 phase. Does it cost more to run day to day, and what's the upgrade itself likely to cost?

I've seen lots of social media posts of people painting vertical stripes on bedroom walls. I'd like to try it but I'm worried about getting the lines straight enough. Any tips?
We need to clear a house after a bereavement. We can't face it ourselves but we're worried about getting ripped off. Do people usually use a house clearance company, auctioneer or someone else for this type of situation?
Aside from replacing tiles and other fittings, how else can I freshen up and revitalise the look of my property’s roof?
