Thank you so much

This is an internal wall and the roof was replaced about 8 years ago so don’t think it’s that

It was built in the late 1950s

Hi I’ve got a wall in a bedroom that looks dusty but it’s not. I’m not sure if it’s the type of paint that was used Valspar or what’s underneath but I can see areas that have been filled and where areas have been painted. It’s like something is bleeding through. The valspar paint isn’t new...

whats the difference between Camaro and Colonial LVT please and has anyone used either of these floorings? Thanks

Hi both thank you. Yes they are both on drops. I’m looking for a set with a TRV and locksheild with drain off. Suggestions welcome

Hi we are having new radiators fitted the plumber has recommended we have drain off valves. I’ve seen two but don’t know which are the best ones. Choices are terrier 3 by Pegler or drayton RT 414.

Hi can someone advise if it’s bestter to have pine skirting boards or MDF and the reason why. They will be painted white so I’m not worried about needing to stain wood. Thanks

I agree have decided after further research to use Celotex instead and board over that. Any idea on how thick the top board would need to be so the Celotex doesn't crack when walked on?

No there's fibre type insulation and then loft boards, I was thinking of adding the celotex on top of the loft boards and then adding more loft boards so it can be walked on

Hi thank you for explain this to me, yes it's breathable membrain that's been used. Sorry I don't know the technical names of stuff

Sorry I mean the roof has been refelted, all tiles removed and felt laid new baton and tiles put back on. Yes we should be able to fix new boards down will using the insulation boards make much of a difference?

Thank you I've just had the loft re-felted and want to improve the insulation as much as possible. My loft has the fibre insulation down both sides and then was already boarded down the middle. I was planning on adding extra fibre insulation over the existing however do have a query with...

is there such a thing as too much insulation you can have in a loft someone recently told me too much can make the loft sweat but I can't see how this is possible? Thanks Wendy

Okay thank you
