I actually have not done this. I have emailed him on several things, but he never fully answers my questions. We had agreed that I get the tiles and he would put them up whilst doing all the bother bathroom installation work, etc. Perhaps I will ask him. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for all your comments. I think we will be looking at small independent shops. I just hate the big chains.

Would rather see what I am getting in a store, than either going to Ebay or online. But thanks for the suggestion, just the same.

Thank you for your assistance.

We are having our bathroom modernised and the guy is putting up new wall tiles However, we have to choose these tiles ourselves and we know nothing about buying tiles, which I presume would have to be ceramic. I know that there are chain stores like B & Q, Topps Tiles and Homebase but also...

Thank you for your reply. I want something I can wipe down and is hardwearing. Fingerprints and grease is a bit of a problem. Your answer was of great assistance.

We will be using Wallrock lining paper on our living room wall and then it will be repainted. However, I want to use Dulux Magnolia Matt Emulsion on it. I notice that there are four different kinds, such as 1) Wipe Clean; 2) Trade Vinyl; 3)Trade Super Matt; Endurance Matt Emulsion. I just...

Thanks. I am getting more concerned about this fellow. In addition, he gave me an estimate and not a quote, which is useless, as with estimates, there could be some nasty surprises added on. I suppose he could not give me a proper quote, since he did not measure the room for the room lining...

Help I need some advice please! We live in an OPEN PLAN flat. Many years ago when our new kitchen was installed, the artex ceiling was plastered over. We now want to get the dining/living room area plastered/skimmed to match the kitchen ceiling. However, we just had a quote from a...

Thinking it over, perhaps I might be better off having the ceiling plastered over. It might be safer and less expensive. I am looking at all the alternatives, but I cannot do the work myself, as I am hopeless at DIY.

Thanks for the information.

I am trying to get my living/dining room decorated and every decorator I have seen does not want to get rid of stippling. They suggest I get a plasterer in to replaster the ceiling instead. I know that there is a steaming method which appears to take some time, is messy and expensive and also...

Hi Freddie. Do you think I should only go with the air brick work put in and not the insulation, or what that be a waste of time and money? Thanks.

Can anybody advise me regarding the following “cure”. We have a condensation problem in our bedroom and due to the very bad winter, have suffered from excessive moisture. I want to improve the warmth of the bedroom and to insulate it, so that we might have a better chance of less...
