Weve already picked a large bath and multi-jet shower but would like to fnd out more about the latest developments in loo design. We were thinking of having a bidet too but space is tight. A Have you thought about having a loo with an integrated shower function? These have long been popular in Japan and Europe and are far more hygienic than conventional loos. Now Geberit, the leading European manufacturers of loos that clean you with water, have launched its AquaClean range in the UK. Featuring sleek designs, these units are available as wall hung ceramics or enhancement seats so you can easily upgrade your existing loo. They all include an oscillating shower with forward and backwards movement, air purifcation and a warm air dryer. The Geberit AquaClean range is comfortable and stylish too. And with a model to suit every style of home, it would make a perfect addition to your new spa-like bathroom. Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while its biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply. Q Im really interested in buying a Geberit toilet with a spray function, but I have heard theyre very expensive. Are there any more affordable alternatives? A You dont have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fts on the existing seat. For more information To fnd out more information about the Geberit AquaClean range, call into Wirral Wetrooms in Irby Village and try it out for yourself! www.i-love-water.co.uk.

We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didnt expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.

But what if there was an afordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesnt require planning permission or any major structural building work. For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. A precarious scramble across dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing whats needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of the floor space in an average home. So shouldnt you be making the most of it? And thats where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by mak- ing the loft easily accessible. And thats all it does. Its not a generic building company, and its not jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only installs loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insula- tion. Its what the company does all day, every day, using qualified local installers who are reliable, tidy and efficient. The latest MTLL franchisee to open covers Crewe and Chester and is run by skilled tradesman, Adam Shepherd...Our average job is about 290 and only takes a few hours to complete, says Adam. And for that, customers get a modern two section aluminium ladder 50sq ft of boarding and a light to make the space safe and secure. The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out or credit card charges. More Than Loft Ladders is al- ready a trusted name in the north west with over 2,500 successful instal- lations, and I really wanted to bring it here to Cheshire...Its such a great and cost efective way for people to gain the extra space they need, added Adam.

The owners have been forced to sell their star attraction Tiny the elephant and a rival circus is poaching their artistes. With a busy bank holiday weekend approaching, its down to acrobatic twins Zack and Missy to fll the house and stop their family business from going under. When a local gang of bored youths volunteers to help them, the twins are faced with the task of training an un-trainable mob in circus skills. The company of young people aged 11-17, is directed by local professional actors Samantha Giblin and Natasha Symms.

People who want to use Neston HWRC will need a new bar-coded Residents Household Waste Permit and this must be shown on every visit to Neston HWRC where it will be scanned by the site staff. The permits are issued free of charge to Cheshire West and Chester residents, have unlimited usage and are only valid for the disposal of household waste. Cllr Lynn Riley, Executive Member for Community and Environment said: The Council has improved the permit system in Neston to ensure that Cheshire West and Chester residents continue to receive the frst class service provided for them in Neston. Neston ward Councillor Andy Williams said: The Council has improved the permit system in Neston so that Cheshire West and Chester residents receive a more effcient service when they visit the site. The Bar-coded permits will allow the site staff to check residents details easily and allow residents quicker access to the site. Residents using a van, pickup, commercial type 4x4 and MPV or using a trailer with an internal length over 1.5m will need a permit in advance. A separate bar-coded permit allows each resident a total of six visits within six months for the disposal of domestic waste. The Council does not accept commercial or industrial waste. The permits will be instantly available via e-mail and can be collected from a number of dedicated Council buildings located across the Borough. Currently 77 percent of the waste received at the HWRCs is recycled or reused.
