I don't but have never in all honesty come across this problem have i just been lucky upto now? No the PVA sort of stuff i used was Polycell 3 in 1 problem wall Primer and says on the container ok to paint with what ever. It dries just like PVA and has a film like PVA. The other walls this was...

Do they sell this in most DIY stores? Never seen it. Will have to try this out.

I had a real problem with paint crazing and it mattered none that i even used a PVA sealer and it still came through the emulsion..So i rubbed the entire area right back.. Cleaned all dust from area and wiped down clean. I used 800 grade lining paper covering around 5.6m2 and left to totally...

A thank you to all who have replied to this topic I will be doing this job shortly. TicklyT when you say incorporating an access point to clear blockages what exactly do you mean by that is there any pictures on the net which show such an access point? Thanks for your help

LOL!!! Thanks for that i did not read when the post was written duhhhh!! Yes considering it was 2006 it probably needs another lick of paint by now.

I am intending to change all the guttering and down pipes but i have a problem. We have a cast iron waste down pipe which goes straight into the ground. That ground is concreted so there is no collar from the clay pipe going to waste drain. Is it possible that if i cut through the cast iron...

Primer should always be applied before any undercoat. Also any knots in the wood should be treated with a knotting solution before priming. If i strip back to the bare wood i always use a primer coat as you will find the end result looks professional and is professional.

Firstly a lot depends on what make gloss coat you are using. The trouble with a lot of Cheap paints or budget paints is that although you find they maybe cheaper you end up using more and will usually end up putting on two coats to stop the base coat coming through. If you are painting Beige or...

Hmm thanks for that. Yes i have four ladders and i have access to scaffolding so that is not a problem. As for tiles i have about 40 spares. As for timber you mean that joists which come from the roofing? That also is not a problem as i have spare Joists and plenty of felt to line a whole roof...

I am quite able to install my own facia and soffits but need some advice how to go about fitting this yourself. How are the pvc Facias fixed into place? Is it wise to Put Facia over the existing wooden facia boards. The facia board on our house are starting to look unsightly and i have been...

I have since been in contact with Fluidmaster and found this company to be very helpful indeed. My complaint was handled in a professional manner and has since been sorted out. I would just like to add that this kit has worked with no problems at all except for the problem with the button which...

Yes i do believe it!! Put it this way Mr or Mrs average out there would be much better off going to them than any smaller contractor any day. Only if that small contractor can be vouched for would i trust him. No doubt British gas could take the P but if they did you have more chance of getting...

No doubt you would probably look nice in it too! 8) As for 5.00 that was a figure of speech but the point being made anyone would feel betrayed if they were ripped off for just a 1.00. As for servicing everything me too as i don't trust garages builders or plumbers what ever.

The amount concerned is too small to be worthwhile making much fuss about althoiugh writing to let them know how you feel would make you feel good. And i double quote your remark above. It may seem a low very amount to you but to some people that is a lot of money. It is also for the fact that...

I would not take this lying down. In fact i would go to your local Trading Standards dept or the CAB and try to find out if the Trading Standards have any other customers who felt they were ripped off by these contractors. Surely if they have stated to you what the problem was and have charged...

I have purchased two of these kits in the past 18 months. I would advise anyone to note that there seems to be a design fault in the button itself. I am not talking about the top push button flush system. My gripe concerns the button fitted to the front of the cistern. The button assembly...
