Hello, I was doing a fairly simple touchup job for Dulux Brilliant White paint. I used a roller. I can still see the patches in the picture. Any advice? I used a wover or fabric roller not the foam one. Should I try with the foam roller? Thanks.

Sorry one more thing. Where will it go? on the part of the carpet meeting the wood or on the the whole (including curved area) of the ground meeting stairs?

Hi Chris. Thanks for your advice. The flooring (engineered wood) was done before the carpets. There was not enough space under the wood to tuck the carpet in.

Hello All. Our stairs painting needs some decorating. Already painted the triangle (not sure what it is called) underneath the stairs but the new paint does NOT look like the old colour (despite being the same, pls see picture - triangle on the right) Is this common? Will I need to repaint...

It is a sturdy wooden door. It is a house. The theory (suggested by a locksmith) is that a burglar breaks in. Then takes their time getting stuff out using the door (as if he's a resident or a mover) without anybody noticing. Pls see picture.

Hello. I currently have a front door with (what appears like) a Euro cylinder with thumb turn knob (picture attached) I understood, after doing some research, that this kind of lock is not very secure, as a burglar may be able to open it from inside (if they sneak in somehow) My question I how...
