    Roof join using ridge tiles

    My neighbour has had a new roof. Previously our tiles were tied together. They have said her roof is higher so have used ridge tiles to cover the gap. Is this allowed? All other houses in the road are tied together even with a new roof.

    New electric shower or replace with mixer shower?

    I've recently bought my first house & the electric shower has started to smell like burning. I've turned it off & won't be using it. I've never had an electric shower before, would it be a costly job to replace the electric shower with a mixer shower? If it matters the shower is at the opposite end to the bath taps. If I was to replace the electric shower, it's a Triton 3+ 9.5 watt. The new ones I've seen in my budget are 4.5 watt, would this have a, lot less pressure than my current one? I'm on a budget & have no idea about these things so which option would be cheaper to install & also cheaper to run long term? Thank you

    UPVC door lock - inside handle up, outside still opens it!

    Pushing the door handle upwards, would normally stop the door opening from outside from what I understand. This does not seem to be the case. Is the a lock issue or something else?
