Thanks to all the posters so far. The paintwork does seem quite easy to clean, I have cleaned all the marks from the doors with hot soapy water and they look good as new. Would this be the case with eggshell? It's just the architraves that are bad, mainly because of the flaking and chips. As a...
Could this be a water based/acrylic paint that was used anyway? I'm just worried about committing to the Dulux eggshell and regretting it because it looks too shiny or too bright white.
I moved into a new build 3 bed house 12 months ago. It is one of a plot of 20 houses. It was unfurnished, but all walls and woodwork (inc. doors) were painted in plain neutral white - not magnolia. We have re-painted the walls in our own choice of soft but contrasting colours. The problem now is...
My bathroom has water damage to the chipboard flooring, mainly under the bath. I need to quickly cut out and replace some sections in situ. I have tried saws and jigsaws, but access is awkward and I cannot get a clean and straight enough cut. I am moving out of the property in 2 days, so time is...

They quoted me over the phone £555.58...
We are moving into a new property in the next couple of weeks. We wanted laminate floor for the living room and hallway, but this is not an option as we cannot remove the skirtings or cut the door frames for at least 6 months (new build warranty requirement). Scotia edge beading in my opinion...
I am moving into a brand new property next week. Due to a 6 month warranty clause, I cannot hang anything from the walls or fit any blinds! I don't want to put up net curtains on hooks as I HATE net curtains. What can I do with this awkward top bedroom window?
