  • Help with dishwasher issue

    We have just discovered that there is pipework and electrical socket in the way to a full size dishwasher (either integrated or freestanding. The width and height are fine but it’s the depth. Is this a cheap job to sort? We need to move the pipes out of the way, move the electrical socket to an alternative cupboard and also remove a section from the wooden support holding the worktop.

    New electric shower or replace with mixer shower?

    Hi, We have just moved into a new house that has a very old electric shower so we would like to replace it. We do have a combi boiler so we could install a mixer shower but I believe this can be quite costly. Is it worth it or should we just replace the electric shower? We have a 2.5k budget for this. Thanks

    Access issues with wall-mounted taps

    I like the idea of wall mounted taps for my bath, but they look like they'd be hard to access if there's a leak or other issue. How do they work in terms of maintenance?
