    Help! Is this Eggshell or Satinwood white or neither?

    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...

    Help! Is this Eggshell or Satinwood white or neither?

    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.

    Help! Is this Eggshell or Satinwood white or neither?

    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...

    HELP! Need to accurately cut chipboard flooring in situ

    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...

    45cm+ trickle vent needed for double glazed wood windows!

    I need 4 internal trickle vents for wooden double glazed windows. The ones I need seem to be of an awkwardly large non-standard size because there are 2 cut outs in the frames. As you can see from the pic, the vents will need to be about 45 cm or more. There are lots of 40cm vents out there for...

    Karndean flooring. Advice on screed and glue needed please!

    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...

    How can I fit curtains to these windows?

    Hi all, thanks for the posts. The windows are wood double glazed, not UPVC. Maybe I can get blinds that fit to the wood frame....

    How can I fit curtains to these windows?

    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?
