I live in Scotland. What sort of quotes can I expect to have a shower replaced? The bathroom itself is a seven square metre area. We currently have an old mixer shower but we’d like to have it replaced with a modern electric shower. What will a contractor like charge us as a total cost between labour, supply and any waste removal costs? As for the waste removal, will the tradesperson manage this themselves or will we need to hire a separate company/skip for this? Also, what sort of electric showers should we consider? We’d prefer a digital electric shower, something modern, up to date and long-lasting. What are the best products on the market that we should look into? Thank you for your time.
Are Herschel infrared panels any good in terms of heating and efficiency?
Landscaper suggests to apply black Bitumen DPC sealer to the newly replaced DPC bricks to add a protective layer of protection. Will it trap moisture inside the bricks and cause damage? I think Engineering bricks are already highly resistant to water.

There is water and moisture appearing in random spots along the floor in my kitchen. I think it may be a drainage issue. Are there any ways I can tell? How much will it cost to hire a drainage specialist to survey the issue and figure out whether the drains are the cause of the problem or not?
I've a small leak into the loft from the firewall on a three-storey Victorian terrace house. All the firewalls and chimneys were re-rendered about eight years ago but on inspection there are quite a few fine cracks and in places some of the outer layer of the render has come away. I've had two quotes from roofers to hack off the render and replace. Both of them then recommend a fibreglass paint that lasts for 'ten years'. I've queried this (no answer as yet) and looked it up online but can find little information. In both instances the roofers insist the fibreglass paint waterproofing is integral. My father in law is a retired architect and says nothing like fibreglass should be used as the walls needs to breathe or flex (though this is a paint, I guess?). Any advice on this would be really helpful. Thank you.
