Don't get me started. Funnily enough, he's asked me to paint the walls and do the floor before he puts the skirting on, he'll come back when that's done he says... but not the architrave though. The reason I got him was he did both, and I didn't know who to get in or want the hassle of finding...

Good Evening, I have a question about laminate flooring. I have to lay it before the plasterer will put the skirting on (apparently..) If you look at the picture below, the hallway upstairs is a funny shape, a plus sign, and the top is an alcove to the window, black is the outline with walls...

Thanks both of you, very helpful. Hadn't thought of noggins! Would you say it's safe? it comes from Marlowe Lighting Company via Wayfair so ... you would hope so. I'm guessing the block has to be somewhere a bit crap because the dome shade is quite low profile, I was considering drilling a...

Good Evening gents, I have a couple of queries about this light fixture. Photos attached. The lighting upstairs is on a spur so it's not complicated to wire up. I put a smaller version of this one up in the little room a week ago but this big unit has thrown me a bit. The instructions are...

I don't think you can tile over the lino directly, maybe ... pva and self-levelling over it maybe. I'm going to self-levelling over this crap.

You may be right but I checked under the carpet next door in the living room, and that's just bare painted concrete under the carpet. I just went back and scratched a bit to see if it was this black stuff painted over and it's not. Just bare concrete. You're right, that's exactly what they are...

Good Evening, IMG_0248 by Indigogo posted 6 Oct 2020 at 7:16 PM I had two layers of vinyl and one layer of what I think was linoleum in the front hallway. It was chipped around the edges where someone had obviously had a go at getting it up. When I moved in there was this horrible rubber mat...

Mastic Floor

Woah, that's some old school ironmongery.

what did it look like, the fixing, and how did you get it out.

Couple of questions: When I moved in there was like a coir-rubber mat carpet in the entrance hall. I tore it up and I find I have this glossy lino on top of some brown, vinyl-like lino square tiles. Someone said the brown stuff might be oil paper? It has a scratchy vinyl feel to it. Can I tile...

Surely they had lag bolts and rawl plugs back in the day... and it definitely won't slide along left or right?
