The reliable way to hire a tradesperson

I just bought a flat probably built in 1960 and i want to modernize it a bit room by room. I just found out that artex or asbestos were usually used or mixed in ceilings for houses or flats built before 2000. My ceiling has this textured like surface do i assume its artex? And if it is can i just get a plasterer to plaster or skim the entire ceiling and its all done? Or do i have to. Board it instead? It also has this older ceiling skirting - what if i want that replaced with something modern - what can i do if i want to do this as well. Need advice.

Water pressure low hot and cold water upstairs and downstairs what's heating is fine but the pressure is very low in water supply what courses this

Hi, I have a Telford unvented indirect water cylinder (horizontal 250l), which causes overheating issues with water dripping in tundish when the boiler kicks in. We tried replacing TPRV and boiler thermostat but still the same issue. We finally decided to take immersion heater out and took a peek inside the tank, which looked very clean and fine. One thing that took my attention though was how short the boiler thermostat probes are. My plumber thought they might struggle to read the right temperature. See photo attached. Then, we called the Telford technical support which claimed that the design is fine and since the thermostat is at the coldest spot of the tank, the official recommendation for the boiler thermostat is 40 degrees. As mine was set to 60, the guy said I was basically overheating the tank. It sounds fine in its own right, but how about legionella? I thought every hot water tank must be set to 60 degrees to avoid legionella, no matter whether its a horizontal or vertical tank, regardless of the manufacturer etc. I can’t see this 40 degree recommendation on Telford’s installation booklet either. Has anyone had such an issue before and do you thinks it’s sensible to set it to 40 degrees?
