Hi
I'm just washing my walls down ready for painting and I notice the old paint has started to bubble (see attached). This is an old place with poor air flow so I have had issues with surface mold in this area in the past, no surface mold this time though. Could this be all it is or could there...
Hi
I am looking to install coving in my bathroom, but there is a ceiling mounted switch as you normally get in bathrooms in the way.
What is the standard way of dealing with this? Do I just do mitred edges either side of it? Or cut a recess into the coving? Seems to me that either way would...
Hi woody

Is there a reason I should replace the wood? Is there any reason I shouldn't just cut back the wood and seal the bare wood level with the window?
I suppose if the rot continues beneath the window, I would need to to get the window removed and replace all the wood?
How would I seal it properly?
Also, would there be any need to replace the wood? I was just thinking if I cut all the wood back to the window then there would be a flatter surface to tile. Or would there be a reason to replace the wood I cut out?
Hi
I have a pvc window in the bathroom which is framed by wood. Unfortunately the wood wasn't tiled over and as such has started to rot due to water from the shower.
The wood has pvc trim on top of it so I plan to remove the trim and cut out the rotten wood, replace the wood and attach the...
