I have bought some floor tiles for my kitchen, they were end of line so cheap however they dont look right in the kitchen ( i layed them out to check befor laying). they do however look great in the bathroom. can i put them on the wall as well or is this not a done thing. thanks in...

quality many thanks

I did that about the dates, twice, they gave me dates and just never showed up. I phoned them again and they didnt show again. Its a small room and was quoted £ 120 Just having to look at it every day is breaking me. I have a small wall i can practice on. Once i have pva the wall...

I need to have my kitchen replastered. I have two choices. One is to put up some new plasterboard and just paint it or HAVE A GO AT SKIMMING THE WALLS MYSELF !!!!! Now how hard is it to skim the wall, i would consider myself ok to have a go at most things, electrics,central heating(...

Ah i have just had a room plastered and didnt remove the skirting, I wish i had now and will do for all the other rooms i am doing. But i suppose it depends on if you intend removeing and replacing Or just painting the skirting board you have now. p.s i am a diy'er and not an expert.

ok, many thanks. is it worth me plastering it myself i mean is it that hard

oK HAVE REMOVED IT ALL, BUT NOW (sorry), i have some of the block work behind flaking off all dusty, should i seal this before the plasterer comes in, And what should i use to seal it. Many thanks

damn, i knew someone would say that,

i have removed some tiles in the kitchen, i want to just paint the walls What is the best way to remove the old tile adhesive on the wall.

sorry wrong section.

No i dont think so, the electrics are old. Might decide to just run a new socket from the main, but was just checking because this is a cheaper option

I want to put a new socket under my worktop for the fridge, do i need to have a fuse above the worktop or can i just run a socket off an existing socket

Start at the top and work down, Do your cutting in first, then paint the walls. it would make the job alot easier if you Paint or varnish your skirting first, before you put it on the wall

I would say it obviously had loads of coats over the years. Some good, some not so good so its all uneven and is not nice to look at not for me anyway. So i want to take of as much paint as possible. Also is one white gloss better than another, should i water down .
