How do you get them out without causing damage to the windows / walls? sill: seems like it works for both inside & outside... http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/windowsill Wood: agreed - strong preference for proper wood over MDF or PVC (not a fan of a plastic feel).

MDF window sills suffered some water damage. The suspect: sealant on outside of window perished, fixed now. Is sanding & filller (not sure which?), followed by a primer (zinser bullseye 123) & paint the appropriate action?

The kitchen is 6.3m x 3.1m, so about 19.m2. The screed bit is about 2m2. There could be a different explanation for the cracking in #5. The kitchen suffered for months from a leak (well, it suffered from &%$ retarded tenants that ignored it and just mopped) that ruined most kitchen cabinets...

Hi, I'm considering buying a property (end-of-terrace). The survyor noted that the pointing is in poor condition in places of the left-hand flank wall (see pictures) and needs repointing. Access however, is pretty tricky as you can see from the pictures. The width between the two...
