    Shower replacement for Triton T300si Remote Pack

    I have a Triton T300si wired electric shower (8.5kw) whose remote pack has malfunctioned (the water is running cold). This model and parts are discontinued. Is anyone aware of any similar models (with a remote pack) that I could look at as a replacement and compatible with what I have now. Thanks

    Is it wise to remove an aerial?

    I don't use my old TV aerial, so I'm thinking of getting rid of it as it looks tatty. But my friend says I should leave it up in case I need it in the future. Is it wise to remove it?

    How much does it cost to plumb in a dishwasher

    Hi, we are currently looking to buy a house and we were wondering how much it would cost to plumb in a dishwasher. There is only space for a washing machine in the kitchen currently, we want to know before we consider buying the house how much it will cost on average to plumb in a dishwasher either next to the washing machine or on the other side of the kitchen, which I assume would involve lifting floorboards, as this will affect our offer on the house Many thanks

    Is it the same person who installs a gas and electric cooker? It's a gas hob and electric oven. There's a double socket behind the cooker but would need a cooker switch?

    Painting fresh plaster

    I have used watered down emulsion to paint new plaster but it was dulux silk. It said on the tin that it could be watered down 10% to seal new, porous surfaces but I have since read it must be Matt. Have I ruined my plaster?

    Fire surround to be built

    How much for someone to make a tall fire surround with mirror insert and curved top from MDF or pine as it will be painted. I have an old surround with mirror that is too big for the chimney width but want something similar but one that will fit.

    Creating off road parking

    I want to strip out two levels of my front garden to create off-road parking, so lots of soil removal and shoring up a very high stone wall on one side, plus utility relocation (mains water, maybe some electrical cables). Plus remove four small-ish fir trees in the same area and a wall bordering the road (made of stones I'd like to keep to help repair other matching walls in the garden). Do I need an architect to design this, or a landscaper, or can builders do the whole job? Do I need a project manager? Is there an average price per square foot for such work? I know I need to involve the Council because of shoring up the high wall and taking parking spaces from the road. They have agreed in principle a few years ago. Since then nearly all my neighbours have done the same. Where do I start with such a project? What are the classic pitfalls I need to be aware of? Should I pay part or all cash? Many thanks for any advice.
