    Garden fencing ideas

    Garden fencing ideas

    Marked bath

    We recently purchased what we thought was a Matrix 1600 bath to have fitted, however we've found that the base seems to stain very easily and the stains don't come off (look like foot dirty footprints) even with bath cleaner, we've tried to contact our plumber but he seems to have...

    Dry internal walls - prep for decorating

    After stripping bedroom walls a plasterer friend has told me they need to be skimmed prior to decorating as hanging lining paper won't be sufficient and any further wallpaper hung will, at some point just come off. Is there anything I can apply to the walls prior to lining and wallpapering...

    Cracks - bay window - breeze

    Thanks for the advice -we're more concerned about the fact you can feel a breeze and the cracks are quite large - suprised the previous owner just wallpapered over the cracks....
