Thanks again DAZB!

:lol: Thanks DAZB! Great stuff!

does anyone know the best way to remove the paint before rendering? Does it have to be removed? :?

can anyone tell me how structurally stitch up a cracked brick wall? The wall is not a main load bearing wall. thank you. :?

thanks Shaggy! I'll do that.

I find that wire wool works well on profiled edges. You only have to give a light sand over to get a key. If you want a really smooth job then total stripping should be considered.

Mmm that's right. But the first one was put in the wrong section and I couldn't change it. Sorry Breezer I forgot that you split hairs! Can you answer the question?

I have some walls in my house that have had the wallpaper stripped back to the plaster. There is some black mouldy patches showing from previous damp areas - the roof has been fixed now so they should be drying out. Can anyone tell me the best way to treat the bad areas? Is it to hack out the...

I have some walls in my house that are stripped back to the plaster. There is some black mouldy patches showing from previous damp areas - the roof has been fixed now. Whats the best way to deal with it, strip back, treat with fungicide and then replaster?

if very fine you can use a decorators caulk. It will sand after drying for 24hrs.

wait until the new plaster has dried out. If multifinish (orangy red) then wait a few days until it changes to a lighter shade.

:D thanks Fitter that's great!

Thanks fitter! So I just silicon them onto the wall!

Hi Chris R, No water going to rads when hot tap on. Pipe from boiler is just luke warm, hot water is hot this time (the problem is intermittent)!

my combi has an intermittent problem in that sometimes it only gives warm 'hot' water. Could it be the domestic hot water temperature sensor? :?

has anyone fitted these? They are like mini worktops but attach to make a small 90 deg. splashback. So the worktop has an angle at the back. When fitting is it just a case of gripfilling to wall and then silicon seal the corner? Advice appreciated. :oops:

make sure the sander is kept level and try to do as much of it diagonally as you can. Make sure all nails are punched down and tacks / staples removed.

You need to cut pieces of timber to the shape of the hole. Apply wood glue around the edges the nail lat across (thin piece of wood) the top at 90 deg. Then insert into the hole. The lat acts as a support for the insert. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to install a close coupled toilet in a cloakroom but the soil pipe runs vertically up from the concrete floor. It's 200mm from the back wall!When I push the toilet up as far as it will go, it's still 100mm from the back wall. Is there a solution to this problem? i've tried the...
