Hi thanks for your reply. To be honest, we wanted to get this done and finished with in the next couple of weeks. It was built in 1962. There a 2 air bricks in each external wall. The room is only about 2.5m X 3m. I've also posted the same question on another forum and interestingly nobody has...

Hi Please can someone advise. I've recently bought a bungalow in which the integral garage was converted years ago to a bedroom. This room seems to get lots of condensation and can smell damp/musty. Upon further investigation, we took up the floor to find a timber floor had been put on top of...

Hi, we have access to an Abac air compressor and would like to use it to paint our clear varnished pine doors white. Firstly, can this be done? 2) I want them done in gloss, can I just use normal gloss paint? I actually already have quite a lot of non drip gloss, can I use this? 3) Do...
