  • Electric shower upgrade 8.5kW to 9.8kW

    I would like to replace my current Triton T80si pumped (8.5kW) with a Mira Elite SE (9.8kW). The current Triton shower wiring seems to be 6mm (tbc) on a 40A MCB (30 mA protected). I need to know if the Mira shower can be installed and if any of the electric setup needs work.

    Starting a handyman business

    I want to start my own handyman business and I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to price jobs. Should I work out an hourly rate and charge that regardless of the job. Or should I charge more for complex/skilled jobs? I have some experience and basic qualifications for things such as plumbing, so I don't want to sell myself short but I don't want to price myself out either.

    Should I gloss or leave wooden finish skirtings / staircase

    In the progess of getting the house done, full refurb. Do you think it is best to have treated wood skirtings and stair case or have them painted and a different colour on the wall to offset? House it rather modern but I do want it to age well!

    Difference between wall tiles and floor tiles?

    Can you fit wall tiles to the floor or floor tiles to a wall? Is this possible/effective? Does it depend on the product? How can I tell what may be the case?

    Equipment Burning Out

    I've had to replace 5 new combi ovens. The microwave part of the oven burns out but the actual oven and grill remain in good working order. Could this be caused by faulty wiring that somehow damages the microwave but not the entire oven? I'm desperate to get to the root of this problem as I can't afford to keep replacing my combi ovens the last two of which were Kupperbusch and Hotpoint. Also worried that the wiring might be unsafe. Thank you
